In this study, a methodology for automatic recognition of multiple simultaneous types of partial discharges (PDs) in hydro-generator stator windings was proposed. All the seven PD sources typical in rotating machines were considered, and up to three simultaneous sources could be identified. The functionality of identifying samples with no valid PDs was also incorporated using a new technique. The data set was composed of phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) patterns obtained from on-line measurements of hydro-generators. From an input PRPD, noise and interference were removed with an improved version of an image-based denoising algorithm previously proposed by the authors. Then, a novel image-based algorithm that separates partially superposed PD clouds was proposed, by decomposing the input pattern into two sub-PRPDs containing discharges of different natures. From the sub-PRPDs, one extracts features quantifying the PD distribution over amplitudes and the contour of PD clouds. Those features are fed as inputs to several artificial neural networks (ANNs), each of which solves a part of the classification problem and acts as a block of a larger system. Once trained, ANNs work collaboratively to identify an unknown sample. Good results were obtained, with overall accuracies ranging from 88% to 94.8% for all the considered PD sources.

A partial discharge (PD) classification methodology based counting PD pulses in the spectral domain is proposed and presented in this paper. The spectral counting data are processed using the proposed PD Spectral Pulse Counting Mapping technique (PD-SPCM), which leads to a Frequency-Resolved Partial Discharges (FRPD) map. The proposed map is then used for PD detection and classification. In this work, corona and slot FRPDs are presented in frequency bands up to 500 MHz, obtained from laboratory measurements performed using two hydro-generator stator bars. The electromagnetic signals from the PDs were captured using a patch antenna designed for this purpose and a spectral analyzer. The corona and slot PDs were chosen because one can be mistakenly classified as the other because they may present similar Phase Resolved PD (PRPD) maps and may occupy shared spectral bands. Furthermore, corona and slot PDs can occur concurrently. The obtained results show that the corona and slot PDs can be properly identified using the developed methodology, even when they occur simultaneously. This is possible because, as it is experimentally demonstrated, corona and slot PDs have appreciable levels of spectral pulse counting in particular bands of the frequency spectrum.
