The term partial discharge (PD) refers to a partial bridging of insulating material between electrodes that sustain an electric field in high-voltage (HV) systems. Long-term PD activity can lead to catastrophic failures of HV systems resulting in economic, energy and even human life losses. Such failures and losses can be avoided by continuously monitoring PD activity. Existing techniques used for PD localization including time of arrival (TOA) and time difference of arrival (TDOA), are complicated and expensive because they require time synchronization. In this paper, a novel received signal strength (RSS) based localization algorithm is proposed. The reason that RSS is favoured in this research is that it does not require clock synchronization and it only requires the energy of the received signal rather than the PD pulse itself. A comparison was made between RSS based algorithms including a proposed algorithm, the ratio and search and the least squares algorithm to locate a PD source for nine different positions. The performance of the algorithms was evaluated by using two field scenarios based on seven and eight receiving nodes, respectively. The mean localization error calculated for two-field-trial scenarios show, respectively, 1.80 m and 1.76 m for the proposed algorithm for all nine positions, which is the lowest of the three algorithms.

This paper proposes a Improved positioning algorithm of electrical partial discharge applied for substations. This algorithm is based on received signal strength indication, and taken practical condition of sensors into consideration by replenishing beacon nodes. Compared with traditional trilateral weighting positioning algorithm, this paper introduces indefinite amount of localization perpendicular lines and combined them with trilateral districts to calculate the weighting result, which can reduce error. This model meets the requirement of reality that the height of electrical discharge spots differentiate from the height of the plane formed by beacon nodes (signal sensors). The experimental result indicates that the revised position model proposed by this paper can effectively fit the condition of monitoring hardware. Error of this algorithm is less than that of traditional trilateral localization.

The localization of partial discharges in air-insulated substations using ultra-high frequency technology is widely studied for power equipment early warning purposes. Ultra-high frequency partial discharge localization systems are usually based on the time-difference of electromagnetic wave signals. However, the large size of test equipment and the need for a high sampling rate and time synchronization accuracy limit their practical application. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a power-based partial discharge direction of arrival method using a received signal strength indicator from an ultra-high frequency wireless sensor array. Furthermore, the Gaussian mixture model is used for noise suppression, and the Gaussian process classifier is used for line of sight received signal strength indicator data identification. Laboratory tests are performed and the results show the average error of direction of arrival is less than 5°. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed partial discharge localization system.

Salah satu inovasi untuk menanggulangi longsor adalah dengan melakukan pemasangan Landslide Early Warning System (LEWS). Media transmisi data dari LEWS yang dikembangkan menggunakan sinyal radio Xbee. Sehingga sebelum dilakukan pemasangan LEWS, perlu dilakukan kajian kekuatan sinyal tersebut di lokasi yang akan terpasang yaitu Garut, Tasikmalaya, dan Majalengka. Kajian dilakukan menggunakan 2 jenis Xbee yaitu Xbee Pro S2B 2,4 GHz dan Xbee Pro S5 868 MHz. Setelah dilakukan kajian, Xbee 2,4 GHz tidak dapat digunakan di lokasi pengujian Garut dan Majalengka karena jarak modul induk dan anak cukup jauh serta terlalu banyak obstacle. Topologi yang digunakan yaitu topologi pair/point to point, dengan mengukur nilai RSSI menggunakan software XCTU. Semakin kecil nilai Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) dari nilai receive sensitivity Xbee maka kualitas sinyal semakin baik. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan meninggikan antena Xbee dengan beberapa variasi ketinggian untuk mendapatkan kualitas sinyal yang lebih baik. Hasilnya diperoleh beberapa rekomendasi tinggi minimal antena Xbee yang terpasang di tiap lokasi modul anak pada 3 kabupaten.
