TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of discharge detection, and in particular to a partial discharge optical detection system and method based on pulse width and amplitude cooperation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Partial discharge detection is a key technology in power equipment state monitoring, used for early detection of insulation defects and prevention of equipment failure. Traditional detection methods mainly rely on electrical signal measurement, such as pulse current method and ultra-high frequency detection method, but these methods are susceptible to electromagnetic interference and difficult to accurately capture discharge characteristics. In recent years, optical signal measurement technology has gradually attracted attention due to its advantages such as anti-electromagnetic interference and high sensitivity, and can effectively detect ultraviolet or visible light signals generated by partial discharge.
[0003] Patent document "System and method for calibrating and evaluating optical performance of partial discharge optical sensor based on integrating photometry" (publication number: CN119439025A) proposes a system that uses an integrating sphere system to evaluate the optical performance of a partial discharge optical sensor based on integrating photometry. Signal amplifiers and filters are used to reduce noise interference to some extent. However, this method measures standardized light signals generated artificially and does not consider the capture of weak light signals under electromagnetic interference.
[0004] Patent document "Multi-channel optical detection system for partial discharge of power equipment based on emission spectrum method" (publication number: CN111624449A) proposes a multi-channel spectral measurement system equipped with filters of different wavelengths, which can diagnose different characteristic spectral band signals in partial discharge. However, this system does not consider the capture of weak light signals under electromagnetic interference.
[0005] Patent document "GIL partial discharge detection device and method based on emission spectrum" (publication number: CN115436764A) proposes a partial discharge spectral diagnosis system containing a light collection assembly, suitable for weak partial discharge scenarios with weak light signals. However, this system only amplifies the input signal, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of system noise, and cannot handle the noise carried by the light signal itself.
[0006] Patent document "GIS partial discharge combined detection device and GIS with the device" (publication number: CN116699320A) proposes a partial discharge combined detection device that combines ultra-high frequency signal detection and spectral diagnosis system, using spectral diagnosis to compensate for the problem of ultra-high frequency signal detection being susceptible to electromagnetic interference. However, this system does not consider the capture of weak light signals under electromagnetic interference.
[0007] The patent document "A kind of power automatic seamless switching device" (publication number: CN118040867A) proposes a technical means of double-path measurement voltage, one signal mode for determining whether there is voltage, and another AD sampling for displaying actual voltage. However, this method is not applied to spectral signal acquisition.
[0008] In summary, how to capture weak optical signals in a complex electromagnetic environment and further distinguish partial discharge is a direction worthy of research. Therefore, we propose a partial discharge optical detection system and method based on pulse width and amplitude cooperative discrimination. SUMMARY
