[0002] As a key power transmission and distribution equipment in the power system, high-voltage switchgear is widely used in substations, power plants and industrial enterprise distribution facilities. It undertakes important functions such as the on-off and transmission of electric energy, the protection of electrical equipment and fault isolation. Its safety and reliability are crucial to the stable operation of the entire power system.

[0003] However, high-voltage switchgear has a complex internal structure and dense equipment. During long-term operation, it is inevitably affected by environmental factors (such as moisture and dust), manufacturing process defects (such as bubbles, impurities, and cracks in the insulation material), and thermal, electrical, or mechanical stress during operation, which can lead to defects or tiny air gaps inside the insulation material. These insulation defects are very likely to cause partial discharge when exposed to high-voltage alternating electric fields for a long time. Although the discharge energy of partial discharge is weak at first, as the defects gradually expand and the number of discharges increases, it will gradually lead to the deterioration of the insulation material until a serious insulation breakdown accident occurs, causing equipment damage, and may even cause more serious power outages and threats to personal safety, causing huge economic losses and safety risks to power companies and society. Therefore, the development of an efficient, accurate, easy-to-implement, and economical online monitoring device for partial discharge in high-voltage switchgear has become one of the technical problems that need to be urgently solved in the field of insulation fault diagnosis in power systems.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0030] Example 1, reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a switch cabinet partial discharge monitoring system, comprising:

[0031] NO2 gas detection module, pulse current signal acquisition module, signal processing module, data transmission module, data analysis and diagnosis module, and user display and alarm module.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the NO2 gas detection module is used to obtain the NO2 gas concentration in the switch cabinet.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pulse current signal acquisition module is used to acquire high-frequency pulse signals in the switch cabinet.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, the signal processing module is used to process the NO2 gas concentration and the high-frequency pulse signal to determine the frequency spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, the data transmission module is used to transmit the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal to the remote background monitoring platform.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, the data analysis and diagnosis module is used to determine the judgment result of the partial discharge fault based on the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user display and alarm module is used to visualize the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal, and determine the alarm measures according to the judgment results.

[0038] It should be noted that during long-term operation, high-voltage switchgear is prone to partial discharge due to electrical stress, environmental factors, material aging, etc., which will gradually deteriorate the insulation performance and eventually lead to insulation breakdown and equipment failure; existing partial discharge monitoring technology mainly relies on a single detection method, such as ultrasonic detection, ultra-high frequency detection or transient ground voltage method, etc. These methods often have problems such as high cost, low sensitivity, and poor anti-interference, and are difficult to meet the stable detection needs in complex electromagnetic environments; especially in the power system operation environment, there are a large number of electromagnetic interference sources, making it difficult for a single detection method to accurately distinguish between real partial discharge signals and interference signals, resulting in frequent false alarms or missed alarms; at the same time, traditional monitoring equipment usually does not support long-term online stable monitoring, making it difficult to achieve continuous tracking and early warning of the insulation status of high-voltage switchgear, increasing the risk of safe operation of the power system.

[0039] Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned partial discharge monitoring problems, a dual verification monitoring mechanism for partial discharge signals is realized through the steps of NO2 gas detection module, pulse current signal acquisition module, signal processing module, data transmission module, data analysis and diagnosis module, and user display and alarm module; among them, the NO2 gas generated in the partial discharge process is combined with the high-frequency pulse signal to solve the problem that a single detection method is susceptible to interference; the high-frequency pulse signal is subjected to FFT spectrum analysis through the FPGA chip and microcontroller to extract the partial discharge characteristic frequency, thereby realizing effective distinction between interference signals and partial discharge signals; real-time data transmission and cloud analysis are adopted to realize remote monitoring and centralized management of multiple devices; combined with visual display and alarm mechanism, the timeliness and accuracy of early warning are improved.

[0040] Example 2, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, provides a switch cabinet partial discharge monitoring system based on the above embodiment.

[0041] It should be noted that since air is mainly affected by electron collision ionization during partial discharge, the essence of air discharge is the result of collisions between charged particles, gas molecules, and electrode surfaces. Charged particles in the air are accelerated by the electric field to gain energy and collide with nitrogen and oxygen, breaking their N-N triple bonds and O-O bonds. This collision ionizes single O atoms and N atoms, which then react with other particles to generate a variety of neutral molecules. Under the action of a high electric field, the air components N2, O2, HO2, and CO2 decompose into single O atoms, N atoms, OH radicals, and CO. The decomposition process is mainly as follows:

[0042]

[0043] The N atoms, O atoms, OH radicals, and CO generated by the reaction diffuse into the gas chamber, where they undergo complex chemical reactions with other gaseous components in the air, generating a variety of stable components. The O radical is highly active and can further react with O2 to form O3. The N radical is unstable and easily oxidized into the intermediate product NO, which is further oxidized to the more stable NO2. Therefore, the more severe the partial discharge, the higher the NO2 concentration; the more pronounced the insulation defect, the greater the electric field strength, and the greater the amount of NO2 generated. Therefore, the present invention selects NO2 gas for detection and as an early warning signal during online partial discharge monitoring.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the NO2 gas concentration in the switch cabinet includes the following steps A1-A4:

[0045] A1: Use the NO2 sensor to capture the NO2 gas in the switch cabinet and obtain the current signal.

[0046] A2: Use a constant potential circuit to provide working voltage for the NO2 sensor.

[0047] A3: The current signal is converted into a voltage signal based on a current-voltage conversion circuit, and the voltage signal is amplified by a signal amplification circuit to obtain an amplified voltage signal.

[0048] A4: The amplified voltage signal is digitally acquired through a high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip to obtain the digital NO2 gas concentration.

[0049] Specifically, when using the NO2 sensor to capture the NO2 gas generated by partial discharge of the switch cabinet in step A1, the NO2 sensor is installed at the bottom of the high-voltage switch cabinet near the location where partial discharge is most likely to occur, so as to timely capture the NO2 gas released by the insulating material due to electrical stress during the partial discharge process.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, capturing NO2 gas generated by local discharge in the switch cabinet can also be achieved through an electrochemical redox sensor. The electrochemical redox sensor detects the current changes generated when NO2 gas undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction with the electrode surface, and determines the gas concentration by measuring the current. It has the characteristics of fast response speed and high sensitivity, and is suitable for real-time monitoring of confined spaces inside the switch cabinet.

[0051] In another optional embodiment, the capture of NO2 gas generated by partial discharge of the switch cabinet using a NO2 sensor can also be achieved through optical absorption spectroscopy. Optical absorption spectroscopy is based on the selective absorption characteristics of light of different wavelengths in NO2 gas. It uses an infrared or ultraviolet light source of a specific wavelength to irradiate the gas and determines the NO2 concentration by measuring the change in the intensity of the transmitted light. It has the advantages of strong resistance to electromagnetic interference, high detection accuracy, and the ability to achieve long-distance non-contact detection. It is suitable for safety monitoring in high-voltage switch cabinet environments.

[0052] It should be noted that the present invention realizes real-time and accurate monitoring of NO2 gas generated during partial discharge by installing a NO2 sensor at the bottom of the high-voltage switchgear and equipping it with a constant potential circuit, a current-voltage conversion circuit, a signal amplification circuit and a high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip; the NO2 gas detection module utilizes the physical and chemical properties of NO2 gas generated by the decomposition of the air medium during partial discharge to convert the tiny breakdown of the insulating material that is difficult to measure directly into a measurable gas concentration change, thereby realizing indirect monitoring of partial discharge, avoiding the influence of external electromagnetic interference on traditional electrical measurement methods, and improving the anti-interference ability of the monitoring system; a stable working voltage is provided by the constant potential circuit to ensure that the sensor works in the best state, and the application of the current-voltage conversion circuit and the signal amplification circuit enables the weak current signal to be effectively captured and converted, solving the problem of low sensitivity caused by weak signals in traditional methods, so that the monitoring device can still maintain stable operation in harsh electromagnetic environments, while reducing the false alarm rate of equipment failures, reducing the workload of manual inspections and operation and maintenance costs.

[0053] It should be noted that the principle of the transient current method is to couple the partial discharge signal through a coupling capacitor and measurement impedance by measuring the instantaneous voltage change generated when partial discharge occurs in the capacitor, and obtain a discharge pulse signal, thereby analyzing the degree and location of partial discharge. The transient current method detection circuit structure is as follows: Figure 2As shown in the figure, the voltage across the test capacitor drops instantaneously due to partial discharge, and then the coupling capacitor (C_k) discharges to the test capacitor (C_x) through the measurement impedance (Z_m). The discharge current forms a pulse voltage on the measurement impedance, which is converted into a digital signal for analysis by a high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, obtaining a high-frequency pulse signal in a switch cabinet includes the following steps B1-B3:

[0055] B1: Use the capacitive coupling sensor and the energized phase line to form a capacitive coupling structure to obtain the discharge pulse signal in the switch cabinet.

[0056] B2: Filter out low-frequency interference signals from the discharge pulse signal and retain high-frequency pulse signals.

[0057] B3: Digitize the high-frequency pulse signal to obtain a digitized high-frequency pulse signal.

[0058] Specifically, in step B1, forming a capacitive coupling structure with a capacitive coupling sensor and a live phase line means installing a capacitive coupling sensor at a phase hole of a live display device of a high-voltage switch cabinet, and forming a capacitive coupling structure with the capacitive coupling sensor and the live phase line.

[0059] Specifically, the specific operation of retaining the high-frequency pulse signal in step B2 may be:

[0060] For the discharge pulse signal, the acquisition circuit is used to filter out the low-frequency interference signal and retain the high-frequency pulse signal. The acquisition circuit includes a high-frequency filtering circuit and a limiting protection circuit. The high-frequency filtering circuit is used to filter out the low-frequency interference signal, and the limiting protection circuit is used to retain the high-frequency pulse signal in the range of 300kHz to 20MHz.

[0061] Specifically, the specific operation of digitizing the high-frequency pulse signal in step B3 can be to digitize the high-frequency pulse signal through a high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip to obtain a digitized high-frequency pulse signal, wherein the model of the high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip is AD9226, the sampling frequency is 50MHz, and the resolution is 12 bits.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, obtaining high-frequency pulse signals using a capacitive coupling sensor can also be achieved through Rogowski coil coupling. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the Rogowski coil is installed around a high-voltage cable or busbar, and the magnetic field changes caused by transient current changes generated by partial discharge are used to induce a corresponding voltage signal in the coil. The voltage signal is collected through a high-impedance detection circuit, and then pre-amplified and filtered to effectively capture high-frequency pulse signals in the range of 300kHz to 20MHz. It has the characteristics of convenient non-contact installation and strong spatial electromagnetic interference suppression capability, and is suitable for switch cabinet environments with limited space.

[0063] In another optional embodiment, obtaining high-frequency pulse signals using a capacitive coupling sensor can also be achieved through an ultra-high frequency antenna detection method. A dedicated broadband antenna is used to receive electromagnetic wave signals in the 300MHz-3GHz frequency band generated during the partial discharge process. Signal processing is performed through a low-noise amplifier and a bandpass filter to effectively suppress power frequency and other low-frequency interference, while retaining the characteristic frequency band signal of partial discharge. It has strong resistance to external interference and high positioning accuracy, and is suitable for real-time online monitoring of partial discharge inside metal-enclosed switchgear.

[0064] It should be noted that the present invention achieves accurate acquisition of high-frequency pulse signals generated by partial discharge by installing a capacitive coupling sensor at the phase hole of the energized display device of the high-voltage switch cabinet, combined with a high-frequency filtering circuit and a limiting protection circuit; by utilizing the principle that the transient current signal generated by partial discharge has a specific frequency characteristic, the high-frequency signal is obtained in combination with a capacitive coupling method, thereby avoiding interference with the normal operation of the switch cabinet; the high-frequency filtering circuit effectively filters out low-frequency interference signals and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal; the limiting protection circuit ensures that the subsequent circuit will not be damaged when a large current pulse is generated, thereby enhancing the safety and stability of the equipment; the application of a high-speed analog-to-digital conversion chip ensures the complete acquisition of transient signals and provides high-quality original data for subsequent spectrum analysis; it solves the problem of difficulty in distinguishing local discharge signals from interference signals in traditional monitoring methods, improves the accuracy and reliability of monitoring, and provides a basis for early warning of partial discharge.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the NO2 gas concentration and the high-frequency pulse signal are processed to determine the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal, including the following steps C1-C2:

[0066] C1: Buffering the digitized NO2 gas concentration and the digitized high-frequency pulse signal, and transmitting the digitized NO2 gas concentration and the digitized high-frequency pulse signal.

[0067] C2: Perform FFT spectrum analysis on the digitized high-frequency pulse signal to obtain the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal.

[0068] Specifically, in step C1, the digitized NO2 gas concentration and the digitized high-frequency pulse signal are cached and the digitized NO2 gas concentration and the digitized high-frequency pulse signal are transmitted. The specific operations may be:

[0069] The FPGA chip is used to cache the digital NO2 gas concentration and the digital high-frequency pulse signal.

[0070] The digital NO2 gas concentration and the digital high-frequency pulse signal are transmitted to the microcontroller via the SPI interface.

[0071] Furthermore, in step C2, FFT spectrum analysis is performed on the digitized high-frequency pulse signal to obtain the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal. The specific operation may be:

[0072] A microcontroller is used to perform FFT spectrum analysis on the digitized high-frequency pulse signal to extract the characteristic frequency and waveform characteristics of the partial discharge, wherein the microcontroller refers to an STM32 microcontroller.

[0073] It should be noted that since the collected digitized high-frequency pulse signal is a time domain waveform, it contains a large amount of pulse information, but there is also interference and noise, which makes it difficult to intuitively see the characteristics. Therefore, the present invention performs FFT spectrum analysis on the digitized high-frequency pulse signal based on a microcontroller to extract the local discharge characteristic frequency and waveform characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal. Then, the characteristic frequency components of the local discharge signal can be clearly distinguished from the spectrum diagram, effectively distinguishing the interference signal from the local discharge signal.

[0074] For example, FFT spectrum analysis can be specifically expressed by the following formula:

[0075]

[0076] Where X(k) is the kth frequency component in the frequency domain; x(n) is the current signal at the nth sampling point in the time domain; N is the number of sampling points; n is the time domain sampling point index, from 0 to N-1; and j is the imaginary unit.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, an FFT spectrum analysis is performed on the digitized high-frequency pulse signal to obtain a complex number expression of the digitized high-frequency pulse signal in the frequency domain, that is, the form of the kth frequency component X(k) in the frequency domain is as follows:

[0078] X(k)=|X(k)|e j·arg[X(k)] ;

[0079] Where |X(k)| is the amplitude spectrum and arg[X(k)] is the phase spectrum.

[0080] It should be noted that partial discharge signals have typical high-frequency pulse characteristics in the spectrum. These characteristic frequencies can be clearly located through FFT spectrum analysis. At the same time, this method can intuitively display the spectrum characteristics of partial discharges of different degrees, making it easier for technicians to make judgments.

[0081] It should be noted that the present invention realizes efficient processing and feature extraction of transient current signals and NO2 gas concentration signals by adopting a signal processing module combining an FPGA chip with an STM32 microcontroller and applying FFT spectrum analysis technology; by utilizing the high-speed parallel processing capability of the FPGA chip, high-speed digitized signal data is cached in real time and transmitted to the microcontroller through the SPI interface for further processing, thereby avoiding data loss and processing delay; FFT spectrum analysis technology converts time domain signals into frequency domain signals, making the characteristic frequency components of partial discharge clearly visible, and effectively distinguishing between real partial discharge signals and external interference signals; the present invention solves the problem of difficulty in real-time processing of large amounts of data in traditional monitoring systems, and improves response speed and diagnostic accuracy; at the same time, the processing of NO2 gas concentration data provides a second level of verification for partial discharge diagnosis, enhances reliability, enables the monitoring device to accurately identify partial discharge characteristics in an electromagnetic environment, reduces the false alarm rate, and provides a scientific basis for preventive maintenance.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, the data transmission module uses an RS485 interface or a wireless communication module to transmit the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal to the remote background monitoring platform, thereby providing remote monitoring and data storage for further analysis.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, determining the result of a partial discharge fault based on the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal includes the following steps D1-D2:

[0084] D1: Determine the judgment result of the first partial discharge fault based on the frequency spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal.

[0085] D2: Use the NO2 gas concentration to verify the judgment result of the first partial discharge fault and determine the judgment result of the second partial discharge fault.

[0086] Specifically, determining the judgment result of the first partial discharge fault in step D1 refers to performing high-frequency discharge feature detection based on the frequency spectrum feature of the high-frequency pulse signal to preliminarily determine whether the partial discharge fault exists.

[0087] Specifically, determining the judgment result of the first partial discharge fault in step D2 means verifying the result of the preliminary determination of whether the partial discharge fault exists by analyzing the NO2 gas concentration, and determining whether the partial discharge fault exists and the severity.

[0088] Exemplarily, the present invention utilizes a dual verification strategy during data analysis and partial discharge fault diagnosis to improve the reliability of partial discharge fault diagnosis. This process is implemented in a host computer. First, a high-frequency pulse signal is acquired using a transient current method. After processing through FFT spectrum analysis, the resulting FFT spectrum is observed to determine whether high-frequency discharge characteristics exist. The severity of the actual partial discharge fault is then further verified by measuring NO2 gas concentration. If a significant partial discharge characteristic frequency appears in the FFT spectrum of the high-frequency pulse signal acquired using the transient current method, a preliminary judgment is made that a partial discharge fault may exist. If the NO2 gas concentration measurement signal indicates an increase in concentration, this further confirms that the partial discharge fault persists and is of high severity, thereby effectively improving diagnostic accuracy.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, dual verification and diagnosis of partial discharge faults based on the spectral characteristics of NO2 gas concentration and high-frequency pulse signals can also be achieved through a fuzzy expert system; wherein, by regularizing expert experience knowledge, a fuzzy rule base containing gas concentration levels and high-frequency signal characteristic intensities is constructed, and the fuzzy reasoning mechanism is used to calculate the membership and match the rules of the input NO2 gas concentration value and the spectral characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal, and comprehensively evaluate the type, location and severity of the partial discharge fault. Through defuzzification processing, a clear fault diagnosis conclusion and confidence level are output, which effectively handles the uncertainty and ambiguity of the system monitoring data and improves the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis.

[0090] In another optional embodiment, dual verification and diagnosis of partial discharge faults based on the spectral characteristics of NO2 gas concentration and high-frequency pulse signals can also be achieved through a hybrid model of deep learning convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory networks; wherein the deep learning convolutional neural network is used to extract the spatial characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal spectrum graph, and the long short-term memory network is used to capture the temporal variation pattern of NO2 gas concentration. The two features are deeply integrated in the network to establish a mapping relationship between gas concentration, current signal and fault type, and the network parameters are trained through historical fault case data to realize automatic classification and recognition of partial discharge fault types and severity assessment.

[0091] It should be noted that the present invention analyzes the FFT spectrum characteristics of the transient current signal to determine whether there are high-frequency discharge characteristics, and then combines the NO2 gas concentration measurement results to further verify the existence and severity of local discharge, effectively avoiding the misjudgment that may be caused by a single measurement method and improving the diagnostic accuracy; compared with the traditional single measurement method, the present invention can more comprehensively evaluate the local discharge status, reduce false alarms caused by environmental interference or sensor errors, and enhance credibility; secondly, the quantitative processing of data analysis results makes the monitoring results between different devices comparable, provides an objective basis for the evaluation of the health status of the equipment, solves the problem that the diagnostic results of the traditional monitoring system are unstable and susceptible to interference, provides technical support for the preventive maintenance and life assessment of power equipment, and effectively reduces the risk of accidental equipment failure.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, the NO2 gas concentration and the spectral characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal are visualized, and an alarm measure is determined based on the judgment result, including the following steps E1-E2:

[0093] E1: Based on the spectrum characteristics of NO2 gas concentration and high-frequency pulse signal, it provides digital concentration real-time value and data curve display.

[0094] E2: By setting the alarm threshold of the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal, the alarm measures are determined based on the comparison between the NO2 gas concentration and the spectrum characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal and the alarm threshold.

[0095] Specifically, the alarm measures determined in step E2 include:

[0096] By setting the alarm threshold of the NO2 gas concentration and the spectral characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal, and comparing the spectral characteristics of the NO2 gas concentration and the high-frequency pulse signal with the alarm threshold, it is determined whether to issue an alarm signal, and the alarm information is uploaded to the remote background monitoring platform.

[0097] For example, in the present invention, the user can set the alarm threshold of the NO2 gas concentration and the spectral characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal, and then compare the real-time monitored NO2 gas concentration and the spectral characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal with the alarm threshold in subsequent online monitoring. When the NO2 gas concentration or the spectral characteristics of the high-frequency pulse signal exceeds the alarm threshold, the device will automatically issue an audible and visual alarm, and upload the alarm information to the monitoring center so that technical personnel can take timely countermeasures.

[0098] It should be noted that the present invention realizes the intuitive presentation and timely warning of the partial discharge status by displaying the transient current waveform spectrum and NO2 gas concentration information in real time and setting a customizable alarm threshold, so that operation and maintenance personnel can intuitively understand the equipment status and judge the health status of the equipment without professional knowledge; secondly, the design of the custom alarm threshold enables the monitoring system to be personalized according to the characteristics and operating environment of different equipment, avoiding the problems of excessive alarms or missed reports that may be caused by fixed thresholds; the sound and light alarm function ensures that on-site personnel can be reminded in time when abnormal situations occur, and at the same time, alarm information is sent to the remote monitoring center through the communication module to form a multi-level early warning mechanism; it solves the problems of untimely information feedback and imperfect early warning mechanism of traditional monitoring systems, improves the initiative and pertinence of power system operation and maintenance, provides protection for the safe operation of equipment, and reduces the risk of accidents caused by partial discharge.

[0099] In summary, the present invention integrates the dual monitoring technology of NO2 gas detection and transient current signal acquisition, and combines signal processing, data transmission, data analysis and diagnosis, and user display and alarm modules to achieve high-precision and high-reliability online monitoring of partial discharge of high-voltage switchgear. It overcomes the shortcomings of traditional single methods that are susceptible to electromagnetic interference, have low sensitivity, and are not suitable for long-term online monitoring, and improves the anti-interference ability, diagnostic accuracy and operational stability of the monitoring system; effectively reduces the false alarm rate through the dual verification mechanism and improves the credibility of the monitoring results; not only reduces the operation and maintenance costs of high-voltage switchgear and reduces the workload of manual inspections, but also improves the safety and reliability of power system operation, provides a scientific basis for preventive maintenance, and effectively prevents major safety accidents caused by insulation failures.

In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through experiments.

[0106] This embodiment uses a standardized high-voltage switchgear test platform to fully verify the partial discharge monitoring system of the present invention. Defects of varying degrees are artificially created in the insulating material to simulate partial discharge phenomena that may occur during actual operation. The NO2 gas detection module is installed at the bottom of the switchgear, closest to the discharge point.
