The invention belongs to the field of cable
partial discharge monitoring, and particularly relates to a cable
partial discharge positioning system. The invention provides a cable
partial discharge positioning system, which comprises the following steps of: dividing different areas according to
signal propagation characteristics of a
cable line, arranging monitoring sensors at different intervals, and arranging calibration sensors at the abrupt
change positions of the intervals; transmitting a reference UHF pulse
signal through a calibration sensor, and calibrating time
delay measurement data of an adjacent monitoring sensor; each monitoring sensor receives a
discharge source
signal of a
discharge cable, and extracts signal time
delay data after preprocessing; time
delay data of multiple monitoring sensors and cable characteristic parameters are fused, and the position of a
discharge source is calculated through a positioning
algorithm. According to the cable partial discharge
positioning system provided by the invention, on the basis of the maximum allowable spacing calculated by the time delay error-sensor spacing correlation model, the monitoring sensor spacing is determined in combination with the signal attenuation characteristics of the directly-buried section, and sparse deployment is realized.
