Abstract

AbstractA new method for locating the position of partial discharge (PD), which occurs on distribution line, is presented. The method uses the direction‐of‐arrival (DOA) of electromagnetic (EM) waves emitted from PD source. The DOAs of EM waves in azimuth and elevation angles are estimated by using the two‐dimensional improved coherent signal subspace method (2D I‐CSM). The position of PD can be located as the intersection of DOAs estimated at two points. In this paper, the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is applied to simulate the propagation of EM waves emitted from PD, which occurs on distribution line. The proposed method is applied to locate the position of PD based on the simulation results. The method is shown to be useful for locating the position of PD in multipath environment. © 2012 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
