  • Patent number: 11644498
    Abstract: A partial discharge detection apparatus for detecting partial discharge in a power cable and recognizing an insulation deterioration state of the power cable. A low-speed AD converter converts an analog signal of an AC waveform flowing through a power cable into a digital signal. A high-speed AD converter converts an analog signal of a partial discharge current into a digital signal. The partial discharge is detected based on the maximum value or the sum of a current value obtained from the digital signal of the partial discharge current obtained by the conversion of the high-speed AD converter, for each phase of the AC waveform, which is obtained from the digital signal of the AC waveform flowing in the power cable. The digital signal is obtained by the conversion of the low-speed AD converter.

  • Patent number: 11567143
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to propose a partial discharge determination device and method that can highly reliably determine the degree of progress of partial discharge occurring in an underground power transmission cable without preparing plural standard patterns. A distribution pattern of a set of the charge amount and the occurrence phase angle of each partial discharge occurring in a period of one or more cycles of an applied voltage of a power transmission cable is sequentially generated, a first classification process in which the pattern is classified into any one of classes on the basis of a standard distribution pattern for each class and a second classification process in which the distribution pattern are executed, a classification result by the first classification process is evaluated on the basis of a classification result by the second classification process, and the degree of progress is determined.

  • Publication number: 20220131681
    Abstract: In the related art, since there is a difference in communication delay time in a round-trip communication path due to packet clogging in a network configuration using a network relay device, there is a problem that time cannot be synchronized. In order to solve the above problem, in the present invention, a time synchronization unit 131 is controlled by the time synchronization control unit 130 to perform time synchronization once, delays of an egress path and an ingress path of the time packet on the basis of the synchronization time are calculated, and time synchronization processing is executed using a time of the time packet in a case where the calculated values are equal to each other.

  • Publication number: 20210373065
    Abstract: A partial discharge detection apparatus includes low-speed and high-speed AD converters. The low-speed AD converter converts an analog signal of an AC waveform flowing through a power cable into a digital signal. The high-speed AD converter converts an analog signal of a partial discharge current into a digital signal. The analog signal is in a plurality of Nyquist frequency domains defined for each of two different types of sampling frequencies. The partial discharge is detected by a partial-discharge-detection digital signal processing unit based on the maximum value or the sum of a current value obtained from the digital signal of the partial discharge current obtained by the conversion of the high-speed AD converter, for each phase of the AC waveform, which is obtained from the digital signal of the AC waveform flowing in the power cable. The digital signal is obtained by the conversion of the low-speed AD converter.
