Condition Monitoring Based on Partial Discharge Diagnostics Using Machine Learning Methods: A Comprehensive State-of-the-Art Review

摘要

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on machine learning (ML) based intelligent diagnostics that have been applied for partial discharge (PD) detection, localization, and pattern recognition. ML techniques, particularly those developed in the last five years, are examined and classified as conventional ML or deep learning (DL). Important features of each method, such as types of input signal, sampling rate, core methodology, and accuracy, are summarized and compared in detail. Advantages and disadvantages of different ML algorithms are discussed. Moreover, technical roadblocks preventing intelligent PD diagnostics from being applied to industry are identified, such as insufficient/imbalanced dataset, data inconsistency, and difficulties in cost-effective real-time deployment. Finally, potential solutions are proposed, and future research directions are suggested.
