Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system and apparatus for monitoring a partial discharge in a switchboard, including a plurality of partial discharge sensors provided in each of a plurality of switchboards to acquire partial discharge data generated in at least one switchboard, and a noise sensor provided in any one of the plurality of switchboards to acquire noise data to be differentiated from the partial discharge data acquired from the at least one partial discharge sensor, and it can be applied to other exemplary embodiments.

Claims (15)

1. A system for monitoring a partial discharge, comprising:

a plurality of groups, each group including a plurality of switchboards, each switchboard including a partial discharge sensor and one switchboard in each group including a single noise sensor for that group; and

a control device, wherein:

each partial discharge sensor acquires partial discharge data generated in a corresponding switchboard, and transmits the partial discharge data to the control device; and

the single noise sensor for each group acquires noise data for that group and transmits the noise data for that group to the control device; and

the control device monitors the partial discharge based on a result value obtained by differentiating the partial discharge data received from partial discharge sensors associated with a given group of the plurality of groups against the noise data received from the single noise sensor associated with the given group.

2. An apparatus for monitoring a partial discharge, configured to:

set a plurality of switchboards into a plurality of groups that each include a subset of the plurality of switchboards, wherein each switchboard of the plurality of switchboards is provided a corresponding partial discharge sensor from a plurality of discharge sensors, and wherein each group of the plurality of groups is set such a single noise sensor is included in that group that is included in a given one switchboard set within that group;

receive partial discharge data acquired from the plurality of partial discharge sensors provided in the plurality of switchboards, and noise data acquired from the single noise sensor provided in the given one switchboard associated with each group of the plurality of groups; and

monitor a partial discharge based on a result value obtained by differentiating the noise data from the partial discharge data.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein setting the plurality of switchboards into the plurality of groups further comprises confirming from an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a first partial discharge device communicating with a given partial discharge sensor a location of the given partial discharge sensor and the first partial discharge device, and confirming from an IP address of a second partial discharge device communicating with the noise sensor the location of each single noise sensor associated with each group.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , further configured to allocate channels for receiving the partial discharge data and the noise data from a given partial discharge device included in each group.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , further configured to confirm an IP or channel of the given partial discharge device that has transmitted the partial discharge data and the noise data, respectively, and to confirm which groups of the plurality of groups from which the partial discharge data and the noise data are generated based on the IP or channel of the given partial discharge device.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , further configured to, when the partial discharge data and the noise data are generated in the same group, insert a timestamp into the partial discharge data and the noise data for storage.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , further configured to analyze a pattern of the partial discharge data in which the timestamp is inserted, call noise data having the same timestamp as the partial discharge data to analyze a pattern of the noise data when a noise gate mode is activated, and compare the pattern of the partial discharge data and the pattern of the noise data.
