A Partial Discharges Acquisition and Statistical Analysis Software

Partial Discharges (PDs) are responsible forunexpected failures in power system equipment, so theirmeasurement is a fundamental tool for electrical equipmentmaintenance. In order to characterize PDs activity, somestatistical magnitudes are necessary. For this purpose, PDsacquisition and processing is an important tool for criticaldecisions related to power systems. In this paper, the maindifficulties and challenges facing PDs detection, acquisition andprocessing are presented. Results will be compared to acommercial PDs detection system.Publicad
