Abstract
Partial discharge (PD) measurements can be regarded as an
effective and reliable tool for on-line condition
monitoring and asset management of high voltage (HV)
apparatus. Recently, a novel application is observed in
the monitoring of falling trees on covered-conductor (CC)
overhead distribution lines. In this paper, Rogowski and
Pearson coils are used as sensors to detect PDs for this
specific application. These sensors are non-intrusive and
superior to the conventional PD detecting methods. In the
next stage of future developments, the wired sensor will
be converted into a wireless one. The challenges faced
while implementing future wireless technology are also
described here. In future, the wireless sensors will be
integrated into distribution management system (DMS) to
detect and localize the falling trees. The proposed
intelligent fault diagnosis system will improve the
safety of CC lines and make them more attractive to
utilities due to reduced maintenance costs and visual
inspection work. In addition, the reliability of the
distribution system will improve which is one of the
significant characteristics of the future smart
distribution networks.
