T1 - Fibre-optic sensors for partial discharge-generated ultrasound in elastomeric high-voltage insulation materials N2 - Recent progress in the development of ultrasonic fibre-optic sensors for detecting acoustic emission from partial discharge in elastomeric insulations is presented. These sensors are an important part of a proposed comprehensive scheme for the fibre-optic monitoring of cable accessories. After specifying the underlying design goals the improved fibre-optic sensor design is outlined. It is experimentally shown that it offers about ten-fold improvement over a previously investigated resonant cantilever-type design in terms of detection limit, making it competitive with conventional piezoelectric transducers, however with the added compatibility with strong electrical fields and electromagnetically noisy environments.

T1 - All fibre-optic simultaneous detection of optical and acoustic emission from partial discharges in silicone elastomer N2 - In high-voltage facilities of power stations and transmission networks, discharge activities leading to catastrophic failure can occur. Early detection of partial discharges (PD) in polymeric insulations of HV cable terminations and joints is therefore increasingly important. This paper describes a monitoring methodology to detect PD activity in silicone elastomer by two independent fibre-optic sensor types. Fluorescent fibre-based sensors are sensitive to plasma optical emission already at the onset of PD while an acoustic fibre-optic sensor responds to acoustic emission from the PD during its progression. The sensitivities of both sensor types are compared, and it is demonstrated that they provide complementary information for fibre-optic sensor-based monitoring of high-voltage cable accessories.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Daher werden für Prüfung und Überwachung im Feld zu-nehmend unkonventionelle elektromagnetische (HF, VHF, UHF) und akustische Detektionsverfahren eingesetzt. Wegen ihrer prinzipiellen Immunität gegen elektromagnetische Störungen sind darüber hinaus faseroptische Verfahren der TE-Detektion in Erprobung. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden zwei Typen akustisch-faseroptischer Sensoren (a-FOS) vorgestellt und auf ihre Eignung untersucht, Teilentladungen in elastomeren Isolierkörpern, wie etwa Silikon-Feldsteuerelementen von Kabelgarnituren, zu detektieren. Die hier präsentierten Laborergebnisse zeigen, dass die zur Detektion von TE mit kritischer Intensität (z.B. in Kabelgarnituren) notwendige Empfindlichkeit erreicht werden kann. Darauf basierend wird das Potential der faseroptisch-akustischen Detektion von TE in der hochspannungstechnischen Zustandsüberwachung allein und in Kombination mit fasergekoppelten fluoreszenzoptischen Sensoren diskutiert.

Specifically, the proposed method is shown to improve the detection of small amplitude, high frequency dynamic optical fiber strain as it occurs in acoustic emission sensing. The method is applicable provided that the dynamic fiber strain to be sensed is known to affect a longer section of sensing fiber in a spatially homogeneous way. It is shown that this knowledge can be used to extract more quantitative information from the measured C-OTDR signal by averaging signal components from the affected fiber section in a suitable and efficient way. The theoretical basis of the method is developed and supporting experimental results are presented.

T1 - Fluorescent fiber optical partial discharge sensor in high-voltage cable facilities N2 - New sensors for the detection of partial discharges (PDs) in high-voltage (HV) cable accessories are being de-veloped consisting of a fluorescent polymer optical fiber (F-POF) as sensing element. Depending on the fiber material F-POFs can be attached to and even integrated into the translucent silicone rubber insulation of HV cable terminations. As the embedment into the insulation material plays an important role, the sensor should not weaken the dielectric strength of the insulation material and should not be the origin of PD incidents. A sensor consisting of a commercial F-POF has been tested in the high-voltage lab regarding its PD detection ability un-der AC in comparison to a conventional electrical sensor. New silicone rubber F-POF (Si-F-POF) fiber models functionalized with coumarin dyes have been produced. The optical properties of these dye functionalized silox-anes are presented. These potential sensor fibers are highly flexible and might be embeddable at medium to high-voltage level. An additional way to further improve the level of PD light detection is to modify the translucent type of silicone rubber used in HV cable accessories in terms of optical transparency. In this context we present our first results of the optical and mechanical properties of new elastomeric transparent silicone materials specif-ically designed for the application as HV insulation materials in stress cones.

T1 - Elastomeric fluorescent POF for partial discharge detection - recent progress N2 - We present recent progress in our development of fibre-optic sensors for the detection of partial discharge (PD) in silicone cable accessories, based on detecting related low-level optical emission. We experimentally show that the sensitive optical detection of PD can dramatically enhance the performance of conventional electrical PD measurement in electromagnetically noisy environments, and that it can yield high sensitivity and specificity even when no synchronous electrical PD measurement is conducted. This is demonstrated using a real-scale model of a high voltage cable accessory with a surface-attached conventional thermoplastic fluorescent polymer optical fibre (F-POF) sensor. In order to increase light collection efficiency, as a prerequisite for a commercially competitive implementation using cost-efficient detectors, sensing fibres will have to be integrated into the silicone rubber insulation, close to the potential origin of PD-induced damage. This is the rationale for our efforts to develop elastomeric fluorescent sensing fibres, tailored to the requirements of the application. We discuss specific challenges to be tackled and report on the successful implementation of all-silicone rubber fluorescent POF, to our best knowledge for the first time. © (2015) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

T1 - Improved fibre-optic acoustic sensors for partial discharge in elastomeric insulations N2 - Partial discharge in elastomeric high voltage insulations is a major reason for device failure. The special challenges of the high voltage environment limit the use of conventional acoustic emission sensors. Fibre-optic sensors can cope with these challenges thanks to their optical sensing principle and the use of all-dielectric materials. In this contribution, improvements to a previously introduced design of ultrasonic fibre-optic acoustic partial discharge sensors for elastomeric insulations are presented. The improved performance of fibre-optic acoustic sensors in detecting AC partial discharge is demonstrated. Furthermore, their ability to detect low-level damage processes in elastomeric insulation under DC dielectric stress is shown to outperform the highly sensitive electrical detection method.

T1 - Dielectric strength behavior and mechanical properties of transparent silicone rubbers for HV cable accessories N2 - Modern optical partial discharge (PD) detection system based on fiber-optic sensors for PD on-line health monitoring in high-voltage (HV) cable terminations necessarily requires optically transparent or translucent insulation materials. The optically compatible silicone rubbers are the key to facilitate such innovative technology. In this work, AC 50 Hz dielectric strength Eb and mechanical properties of three types of commercially available silicone rubbers have been investigated. The investigations revealed that the translucent silicone rubber has a good mechanical performance but its Eb value is considered too low. However it is sufficiently good for use as base material for rubber stress cones. Unfortunately, its optical transmittance is poor compared to optically clear transparent silicones. On the other hand, the mechanical properties of transparent silicone rubbers do not comply with those demanded from push-on stress cones. In particular, their elongation at break is considered too low for that application. However they provide the Eb values of about 28 kV/mm to 29 kV/mm at 0.5 mm thickness, which are higher than those of the translucent type. Moreover, it was found that the post-curing process does not provide a positive impact on the ultimate elongation of silicone rubbers.

T1 - Acoustic emission from DC pre-treeing discharge processes in silicone elastomer N2 - Partial discharge in polymeric insulation of high voltage equipment causes cumulative damage that progressively deteriorates the insulation, leading to eventual failure. The electrical detection of related discharge current pulses may be challenged by electromagnetic interference from the environment. In such situations the detection of acoustic emission from partial discharge can greatly enhance its detectability, especially when electromagnetically immune fiber-optic acoustic sensors are used. During experiments involving such fiber-optic sensors that were specifically designed for the detection of partial discharge in elastomeric insulation, an unexpected type of acoustic emission was observed in silicone elastomer specimens with tip–plate electrode configurations and under DC electrical stress. We present and discuss experimental results that indicate space charge injection and subsequent spontaneous dynamical processes as the source of the detected acoustic emission. We use sensitive conventional partial discharge measurement instrumentation to show that the apparent acoustic efficiency of the processes leading to the observed acoustic emission is very high. Acoustic emission triggered by discharge events with individual apparent charge values of only a few femtocoulombs could be detected.

T1 - Distributed acoustic sensing: Towards partial discharge monitoring N2 - We report on the successful application of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) to the detection of partial discharge (PD). A detection limit of about 1 nC discharge magnitude was achieved for PD in a real-scale model of a high voltage termination. Dedicated ultrasonic fibre-optic transducers were interrogated using coherent optical time-domain Rayleigh backscatter reflectometry (C-OTDR). Random quadrature demodulation was employed for retrieving relevant acoustic information from the raw C-OTDR backscatter traces. To our knowledge, our results are a first-time demonstration that quasi-distributed fibre-optic acoustic sensing is a candidate technology for the acoustic partial discharge monitoring of power cable joints and terminations.

This method was experimental proven to be suitable for distributed dynamic strain measurement in a thermally unstable environment. Signal-to-noise ratio analyses for detecting a signal peak within the time-dependent spectra were performed. Results show an increase in SNR and additionally that the occurrence of total loss of sensitivity (SNR <1) could be decreased by a factor of six when compared to an untreated standard fiber.
