Discrimination of partial discharge from noise in XLPE cable lines using a neural network

This paper describes an experimental study of the discrimination of partial discharge (PD) signals from external noise in a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) power cable by using a neural network (NN) system. Measurement of PD signal and external noise was carried out with a PD pulse recorder for a 66 kV XLPE cable with an artificial defect and a drill. The NN was a three-layer artificial neural system with feedforward connections, and its learning method was a backpropagation algorithm. Its input information was a combination of the discharge magnitude, the number of pulse counts, and the phase angle of applied voltage.<<ETX>>
