IEEE/PES General Meeting 2016
Panel Session: Electrical Signatures of Power Equipment Failures
Chair: Wilsun Xu; University of Alberta
Summary: In recent years, the wide spread use of disturbance
monitoring tools have enabled industry to use disturbance data to determine
the health conditions of T&D equipment. Examples are incipient faults of
underground cables and overhead lines, and malfunction of switchers and tap
changers. Experiences show that many equipment failures contain unique
signatures in their voltage and current waveforms. There is, therefore, a
great opportunity to develop specialized algorithms that make use of the
signatures for equipment condition monitoring. The objective of this panel
session is to share experiences on detecting and analyzing various
electrical signatures related to equipment failures. The panel session will
also discuss the efforts of developing an equipment signature database for
research community. The ultimate goal is to create innovative condition
monitoring applications based on power quality data analytics.
