Online GIS PD monitoring system according to IEC61850 protocol

Partial Discharge (PD) Detection in GIS
Both UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) and ultrasonic methods are effective for detecting partial discharges (PD) in Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), each with distinct advantages:
  • UHF Method: Detects PD pulses via high-frequency electromagnetic waves generated by PD activity within GIS.
  • Ultrasonic Method: Identifies ultrasonic waves produced by bubble shocks caused by PD.

Key Monitoring Data

The main data monitored by a GIS PD monitoring system includes:
  • UHF PD signals
  • Ultrasonic PD signals
  • Transformer voltage signals
The online monitoring system collects these signals and generates alarm information based on the GIS’s operational status.
System Composition
A GIS PD monitoring system comprises three core components:
  • Sensors: Capture PD-related signals.
    • UHF PD sensors detect electromagnetic signals.
    • Ultrasonic sensors measure acoustic signals.
  • Data Preprocessing System: Conditions and prepares signals for analysis.
  • PD Monitoring IED (Intelligent Electronic Device): Processes, stores, and displays data at the bay level.

Signal Flow and Communication

  • Process Level: UHF and ultrasonic sensors acquire electrical and acoustic signals, which are conditioned and transmitted to the PD monitoring IED.
  • Bay Level: The IED stores, displays, and processes data. Specific communication service mapping (per IEC 61850) defines network transmission standards for sampled values between the process and bay levels.
  • Station Level: Data is reported from the bay level to the station level via predefined communication services for centralized monitoring.

How does a transformer work?
Transformer Operation PrincipleA transformer is an electrical device that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another. It enables the adjustment of voltage levels within an alternating current (AC) system, either stepping up (increasing) or stepping down (decreasing) voltage while maintaining the same frequency.Working Principle:Basic ComponentsA transformer consists of two coils, known as windings—the "primary winding" connect

What is the difference between a dielectric and an insulator?
Dielectrics and insulators are distinguished primarily by their applications. One of the main differences is that a dielectric can store electrical energy by becoming polarized in an electric field, whereas an insulator resists the flow of electrons to prevent current conduction. Other key differences between them are outlined in the comparison chart below.Definition of DielectricA dielectric material is a type of insulator that contains few or no free electrons. When subjected to an electric fi

What is GIS Equipment?
What is GIS Equipment?GIS is the English abbreviation for Gas Insulated Switchgear, which is fully translated into Chinese as Gas-Insulated Metal-Enclosed Switchgear. It typically uses sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas as the insulating and arc-quenching medium. GIS integrates, through optimized design, the main primary equipment in a substation—excluding the transformer—such as circuit breakers (CB), disconnectors (DS), earthing switches (ES/FES), busbars (BUS), current transformers (CT
