One of the most effective means of testing insulation systems in high-voltage/high-field electrical systems is using partial discharge (PD) measurement; it is often the case that PD measurement is the only effective means of determining the health of the insulation system while energized.
The detection and analysis of PD are among the fundamental measurements performed on high-voltage components and have a long history.
Due to the continuous advancement of PD applications under both laboratory and field conditions, there is an ongoing need to support this technology with guidelines for PD detection and testing which describe both proven and new methodologies.
As a result, PD measurement has become a globally recognized method for insulation diagnosis and a mandatory part of acceptance testing for most AC high-voltage installations.
Furthermore, this diagnostic method is also gaining importance in the MV sector, HVDC installations, and power electronics/drives.
In this workshop, we aim to present the current state of knowledge from a CIGRE perspective, with a focus on current trends, new applications, and new technical approaches, all combined with insights from the field of standardization.
