Abstract

This paper presents the methodology for phase-resolved partial discharge measurements in HVDC systems with a DC voltage containing trace AC harmonics or a DC voltage ripple. The measurement result of partial discharges is an indicator of the current condition of the high-voltage power devices’ insulation system. The voltage waveforms in HVDC systems are not ideal DC, because different disturbances occurring naturally in these systems can affect the DC voltage. The AC harmonics related to the AC source voltage, and the voltage ripples provided by the power converter topology, can be found in the HVDC voltage. This paper proposes a novel approach to partial discharge measurement in DC networks. The synchronization to the particular AC harmonics appearing in DC voltage was applied to the PD measurements. The analyses were performed on the model sample containing a void inclusion, which was placed between electrodes fed by the DC voltages with the imposed chosen AC harmonics. Two scenarios were analyzed at a constant DC level: one with a variable AC magnitude and the second with a variable frequency of an AC source adjusted to the harmonics: 50, 150, 300, and 350 Hz. It was observed that the superimposed AC voltage component resulted in an intensification of PDs.
