Wir demonstrieren die Machbarkeit rückwirkungsfrei integrierter optischer Teilentladungssensorik für Aufschiebeelemente aus Silikonelastomer zur Verwendung in Kabelgarnituren. Zu diesem Zweck wurden sowohl ein Funktionsmodell eines optisch transparenten Silikon-Kabelendverschlusses mit integriertem Silikon-Lichtwellenleitersensor als auch ein rein optisches TE-Messsystem auf Basis von zwei Einzelphotonendetektoren und einer Koinzidenzschaltung (PD-COP) entwickelt, die hier vorgestellt werden. Die Leistungsfähigkeit und Stärken der optischen TE-Messtechnik zeigen sich sowohl in Kombination mit der elektrischen Messtechnik, als auch bei alleinigem Einsatz.
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.
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).

Fibre-optic acoustic detection of damage processes in elastomeric insulation under AC and DC stress
(2013)
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.
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.
We present a demodulation method that partially compensates for the nonlinear and random transfer function of fiber-optic direct detection coherent Rayleigh optical time-domain reflectometry (C-OTDR). 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.
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.
We propose the application of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) based on Rayleigh Coherent Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (C-OTDR) to unconventional sensing tasks in industrial condition monitoring. As examples we present results on the way to fibre-optic remote sensing of dielectric damage processes in high voltage cable joints as well as to condition monitoring of passive rollers in large industrial belt conveyor systems.
