Partial Discharges (PD)

PARTIAL DISCHARGES (PD) -- DETECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND LOCALIZATIONExplore state-of-the-art partial discharge measurement techniquesIn Partial Discharges (PD) -- Detection, Identification and Localization, a team of distinguished electrical engineers delivers a comprehensive treatment of the behavior, modeling, measurement, monitoring, localization, and evaluation of partial discharges. It includes coverage of all major advancements in the field that have occurred over the last few decades. It also discusses partial discharge phenomena, detection methods, and strategies for analyzing and processing collected data.Mechanisms of insulation failure are explored, as is the denoising of partial discharge measurement data and the localization of partial discharge in large, high-voltage equipment. Non-electric principles and procedures are discussed, and the book offers a variety of tables, figures, and photographs to illustrate the concepts discussed within. Partial Discharges(PD) also provides:* A thorough introduction to the physical behavior of partial discharges, including their causes and classification* Comprehensive modeling of partial discharge behavior, including classical and dipole discharges* Practical discussions of the measurement of partial discharges, including the electrical method, partial discharge decoupling, and pre- and post-processing of partial discharges* In-depth examinations of the monitoring of partial discharge behavior, including methods and realizationPerfect for electrical engineers engaged in electrical power engineering, Partial Discharges (PD) will also earn a place in the libraries of research and development specialists employed in the manufacturing, quality testing and operation of electrical systems.
