The invention relates to a hydro-generator
partial discharge pulse extraction method based on Taylor-S transformation. The method comprises the following steps: collecting a
partial discharge signal of a
stator winding of a hydro-generator; preprocessing the
partial discharge signal to obtain a preprocessed
signal; performing time-frequency transformation on the preprocessed signal to obtain a time-
frequency matrix; estimating an instantaneous frequency based on phase information of the time-
frequency matrix; synchronously extracting the time-
frequency matrix according to the instantaneous frequency to obtain a time-frequency
energy matrix; extracting a time-frequency
ridge line based on the time-frequency
energy matrix, and performing feature optimization on the time-frequency
ridge line to obtain an optimized
ridge line; and determining starting and ending positions of the partial
discharge pulse according to the time-frequency
energy matrix and the optimized ridge line. According to the method, Taylor-S transformation is combined with synchronous extraction operation, so that the problems of
energy dispersion and serious
cross term interference in a strong
noise environment of a traditional time-
frequency analysis method are effectively solved, and the definition and focusing property of partial
discharge pulse time-frequency representation are remarkably improved.
