The invention provides a partial discharging positioning method based on time
delay error stochastic
simulation and statistic analysis. The partial discharging positioning method comprises the following steps that firstly, four
time delays needed by positioning are obtained according to the generalized cross-correlation
algorithm based on a set of waveforms received by a
quaternary ultra-
high frequency antenna array; secondly, the time
delay error range is set with the
time delays as base points, n sets of
time delays are simulated in the time
delay error range in a random mode, random functions are distributed in a
normal mode, and the time delays worked out in the first step are adopted in the center; thirdly, the two-dimensional positioning information of a discharging source is calculated according to the n sets of time delays, and a
direction angle distribution diagram is obtained; fourthly, the angle with the maximum angle distribution probability is set to be the positioning angle according to the
statistical analysis method; fifthly, a search area is spread with the positioning angle as the center, grid searching is carried out, and the positioning angle and the radial distance of the discharging source are calculated. The partial discharging positioning method based on time delay error stochastic
simulation and statistic analysis can improve the accuracy of partial discharging positioning.
