Challenges of Using Partial Discharge Measurements for Predictive Maintenance

This paper addresses the existing partial discharge (PD) measuring and detecting techniques which can be utilized by the utilities in their predictive maintenance programs. It also identifies the challenges which face utility engineers in collecting and analyzing partial discharge data. After addressing and highlighting these challenges, the paper discusses necessary research effort and methodologies to overcome these challenges
