Three-Point Technique for Partial Discharge Location on XLPE Armoured Underground Cable

Abstract:

Recently, a new partial discharge location technique called three-point technique had been introduced to locate partial discharge on underground cable. It is the improvement of double-end technique. In this paper, the mathematical formula of three-point technique had been simplified from previous research. Alternative Transient Program (ATP) was being used to simulate both double-end and three-point technique. The results of the simulation were compared and analysed based on the accuracy, cost of implementation and algorithm complexity of the technique. Three-point technique had shown significant improvement in the accuracy of partial discharge location on underground cable.
