Pattern Recognition of Partial Discharge by Using Scale parameters-Energy Entropy Characteristic Pairs

In this paper, the complex wavelet transform (CWT) was used to process the ultra-high frequency partial discharge (UHF PD) signal in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) at different scales. The trend curves of complex wavelet transform energy entropy (CWT-EE) under different decomposition scale were analyzed, and it was found that the PD feature information mainly distributed in the scales, in which the gradient of CWT-EE is big. Besides, The CWT-EE characteristics and their scales were extracted to the structure characteristic pairs for PD type identification. The recognition results show that the characteristic pair could effectively identify four typical defects in GIS and obviously reduce the feature dimension.
