Thus,itisrecommendedtomakequalityandcompliancetests by PDanalysis. Also, considering cyber-physical system frame-works (e.g. [4]), the analysis of PD can be extrapolated as an redundantcomponent of power systems onalerting the active agents(electricalutilities,stakeholders,powersystemcompanies) inadvancewhenanycomponentitisabouttocollapseduetoPD. ThePDtestsareclassifiedaccordingtothemeasuringtechnique, andelectricmethodsarewidelyused[1].Electricalmethodscan beperformedonhighvoltageelectricalequipmentsuchaspower transformers,instrumenttransformers,medium,highand extra-highvoltagecables,highvoltagebushingsandrotarymachines[5]. Furthermore,theelectricalmethodsaredividedintoconventional andnon-conventional.ConventionalPDmethodsareperformed followingIEC60270-HighVoltagetestingtechniques:Partial Dis-https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sna.2021.112825

The time measurement efficiency of the PD relies on the signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio and gain of theHFCT sensor. How-ever, the PD’s time measurement efficiency decrease with the noisecoupledtotheHFCTinonsitemeasurements.Traditionally, thePDmeasurementapproachconsidersthenoiseremovalusing mathematical algorithmsandefficientsoftwareinthetimeand frequency domain,suchasspectral subtractiondenoising(SSD), discrete wavelet transform(DWT),wavelet shrinkagedenoising (WSD),PrincipalComponentAnalysis(PCA)[10,11],andComplex DaubechiesWavelet(CDW)[12,13].Overall,enablingthecorrect understandingofthePDphenomenonmagnitudeinonsite mea-surements.
However,thispaperaimstovalidatethehypothesisof improve-ment or deterioration of the HFCT signal response, through a transferfunctionoptimization,foraneventualredefinitionof phys-icalandgeometricalparametersoftheHFCTsensor.Thus,through theinvestigationofthephysicaleffects,modelling,andsimulation oftheHFCT,appliedtotimemeasurementsofthePDunderthe stronginfluenceofbackgroundnoises,expectedtoreach reason-ablehigherSNR.Therefore,themethodologyproposedinthispaper goesbeyondatraditionalsensoroptimizationapproach[14].It’s consideredHFCT’soptimizationandon-fieldemulationtaskstothe PDmeasurementsbyimplementingadditivewhiteGaussiannoise (AWGN)miscellaneous.
Theproposedmethodologywasdividedanddevelopedlinearly basedonthreestepsasshown inFig.1: 1.PDpulsegeneration andnoiseaddition;2.ModellingoftheHFCTsensor;and3. Per-formanceevaluation.Step1comprisesthePDsignalgeneration, modeledbytravelingwavesmethod[15]andapplicationof char-acteristicbackgroundnoisethroughAWGNtothesignalgenerated [1].Instep2,HFCTsensormodellingwasperformed,basedonthe ElectromagnetismLaws,accordingto[16],whereasthefrequency responseswerecarriedoutbasedon[14].Instep3,HFCTmodels werecreatedbasedonthevariationofconstructiveandelectrical parametersandsubsequentevaluationofTFs(TransferFunctions) performance[12].InFig.1s(i)representsthePDinputsignal,r(i) denotesnoise(AWGN),Z(i)meanstheTFsoftheHFCTmodels(g(s)) underanalysisand,iisthediscretetimeindex.
Traditionally,thedesignprocessofasensorusesstatistical oper-atorscustomarilyappliedasthelastevaluationstep,i.e.,step3of Fig.1.Themaingoalofstatisticaloperatorsistoevaluatethe sen-sorresponseperformanceregardingthesimilarityandprediction quality.Itisdonebycomparingtheoutput“pre-processed”signal fromthesensorandtheexactinputsignal(inthispaper,PDpulse) [12,13,17,18].Thereforeinthispaper,theHFCTsensorperformance was evaluatedbymean squarederror(MSE) and cross-relation (XCORR).AnoptimalresponsenearzeroisexpectedforMSEand oneforXCORR,consideringthenormalization.Thereby,the predic-tionandsimilarityofHFCTsensorperformancedrivethedecision onwhichisthebestmodel,bothintermsofelectricaland geomet-ricalparameters,i.e.,thebestfittedHFCTsensormodel.

Therepresentationof PDsignals isconductedthrough three categoriesofstandards[19]:1.resolvedphasedata,suchasthe −q−ndiagram(Fig.2a.);2.resolvedtimedata,i.e.q−t wave-form–whereqistheloadmagnitudeandttheanalysisinterval,or V−t–whereVrepresentsthevoltageovertimet;3.signaldata thatareneitherresolvedphasenorresolvedtime,e.g.theq−V diagram–magnitudevariationofdischargepulsebytestvoltage amplitudeorthePulseSequenceAnalysis(PSA)diagram–inthat datarelatedtoPDpulsesshouldbesavedasasequence[3]. 2.1. PDpulse
The characteristics of PD current pulse are analyzed using parametersrisetime(Tr),pulsewidth(Tw)andfalltime(Tf).All thePDcurrentpulsesarefromtheorigintimet0 ofthevoltage step,whichreferstothetimewhentheincreasingvoltagehas10% ofinitialvoltage(V0).Thatis,Trregardsthetimeintervalbetween 10%and90%ofthepulseamplitude,Tfisthetimeintervalbetween 90%and10%ofthepulseamplitude,andTwisthetimeinterval between50%oftherisingsignaland50%ofthefallsignal,pulse height,andmaximumpulseamplitude(100%ofthepulse magni-tude)[19].Therefore,thePDcurrentpulseexpressedbyequation (1)isbasedonthemodelingofthetravelingwavesconceptofPD pulsesinhighvoltagecables[15]:
V (t)=V0.(10−˛t−10−ˇt), (1)
where˛andˇaretimeconstantsparametersrelatedtothecable signalwaveform[15].Thus,consideringOHM’sLawI(t)=U(t)/R andresistanceas1,thePDcurrentpulse’sinitialvaluewaswith themagnitudearound200mA,asdescribedinstudiesaddressing PDpulses[16].Therefore,thepulseparametersassumed inthis paperare:peakat246mA,Trof0.34435s,Tf =3.2174s,Twof 1.8503s,˛as7.108,andˇas3.109.

Accordingtothecharacteristics of time–frequencydomain,the disturbancescanbeclassifiedaswhitenoise(WN),Discrete Spec-tralInterference(DSI),periodicpulseinterference(PPI),stochastic pulseinterference(SPI)[20].ConsideringPDaspulsesofa stochas-ticandnon-stationarynature[21]andthat,consequently,thenoise acquiredintheonsitemeasurementsignalhasarandom charac-teristic,itisimportanttoinserttheconceptofGaussianProcess.

4. HFCTperformanceevaluation
BasedonthesimulationresultspresentedinSection3.3,Ithas beenconsideredadecreaseinmagnitudeandanincreaseinBW withincreasedwindingsinthesecondarycircuit(modelN30).In themodelN30, thereis aphase advanceconcerningfrequency. Also,itwasfoundthatincreasingthevalueofr,inthecaseof mur2300,didnotleadtoaconsiderablechangeinmagnitudeand phaseresponse,comparedtoPAD.However,tocomplementthe HFCT performance evaluation analysis,the meansquared error (MSE)andcross-relation(XCORR)wereconsidered.
4.1. Dataanalysisevaluationmetrics
Twometricshasbeenusedinthispaper,theMSEandXCORR, betweensignalsobtained(Z(i))andtheinputsignals(s(i))(referto Fig.1).TheMSEisgivenby[12]:
MSE= N1 N
i=1
|z(i)−s(i)|2. (13)
TheMSEis generallyusedtoassessthedegreeof distortion causedby removingnoise froma signal,sothelower theMSE value,thesmallertheerror.Incontrast,theXCORRcoefficient( sz) isexpressedby[12]:
sz(n)= N

TheXCORRcoefficientassessesthesimilarityintheshapeofthe signals’wave;itwasnormalizedinorderthatazeroXCORRfactor indicatestotal asymmetrywhileanXCORRfactorof1indicates completesymmetry.Therefore,theXCORRisappliedbetweenthe Z(i)ands(i)(seeFig.1)ondiscrete-time.Also,sincethisEq.(14) returnsavector,thesequencesoftheXCORRhavebeennormalized. TheMSEobtainedforallHFCTsensormodelsitisexpressedin Fig.7.TheMSEfortheRL250model(Fig.7)isthegreatestone.On theotherhand,increasingthenumberofwindings(N30model), thesimilaritybetweenthes(i)andtheZ(i)(HFCTsensorresponse) increases,giventhatthemutualinductanceisthehighestamong themodels,Mc=1.5mH,whileinthePADmodelthemutual induc-tanceisMc=0.17mH,i.e.,anincreaseof20inthenumberofturns ofthewindingresultsinanincreaseof8.82timesthevalueofMc (seeEq.(6)).Furthermore,ithasbeenobservedthatfromSNR=6 dB,theMSEremainsbelow1forallthemodelsexceptingRL250. Therefore,inthecaseofPAD,N30,mur2300,andRLNmurtheZ(i) mustbeatleast2twicethes(i)toreachanacceptablemeasurement error.

5. Conclusionsandprospects
Thispaperaddressedthephysicaleffects,modelling,and simu-lationofthehigh-frequencycurrenttransformer(HFCT),appliedto timemeasurementsofthepartialdischarges(PD)underthestrong influenceofbackgroundnoises.
SeveralfactorslimitthefrequencyresponsesoftheN30,RL250, mur2300,andRLNmurmodels.IntherealHFCTsensor,the fre-quencyresponseentailsseveralparameters.Themainonesbeing reactive components with origin in construction and electrical phenomena since a coil has(i)capacitance and (ii)inductance, duetotheassociationofturns.Hence,thesereactivecomponents contribute to self-capacitanceand self-inductance, respectively. However,state-of-the-artstudiesdescribethattheloadresistance valuemustbe50,duetotheresistivecouplingwiththe measur-inginstruments,toeliminatelosses.Thepresentpaperemploysa variationofupto250toverifychangesinresponsetotheinput signalandperformanceevaluationundernoisyconditions.
Thus, thehypothesisofimprovement ordeterioration ofthe HFCTsignalresponse,throughatransferfunctionoptimization,for aneventualredefinitionofphysicalandgeometricalparametersof theHFCTsensor,canbevalidated,dependingonwhich parame-tersarechosentobechanged.Additionally,theHFCTmodelN30 providedmorereliableS-domainvaluesbyincreasingthenumber ofcoilturnsadaptivelytothenoisysignalcomparedtotheother modelsanalyzed,i.e.,RL250,mur2300,andRLNmur.
Therefore, the proposed transfer function optimization approachgivesarobustpre-processingbychangingthefeatures oftheHFCT’selectricalcircuitandcoilconstructionparametersto reachahighsignal-to-noise(SNR)ratio.Furthermore,thispaper
servesasaninspiration forpotentialsolutions throughartificial intelligence.In thisway,itis possibletooptimizetheelectrical parameterstoobtainidealcharacteristicsofmagnitudeandphase inthefrequency responsetorejectdifferentcharacteristic field noise(onsitemeasurement).
