Improved Algorithm on Wide Range Positioning for Partial Discharge in Substation
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.
