Description
Summary:Antennas can be used as a sensor for detecting and measuring partial discharges (PD) by receiving the electromagnetic waves emitted by the PD phenomenon, and using the captured signal, the size of the observed PD may be determined. Antenna sensors for PD measurements have been studied quite extensively at the High Voltage and High Current Laboratory of ITB in the last decade, resulting in a number of antenna designs. One of the previous studies done by a member of the lab has summarized the performance results of the designs available and ranked them according to their bandwidth. In this study, several of the antenna models that have previously been studied in the lab will be retested to characterize the PD measurement results of these antennas as well as to evaluate their functionality as a PD sensor. The antennas tested include a microstrip antenna, bowtie antenna, log periodic antenna, cube antenna, and loop antenna. Based on the tests done, the best antenna for PD detection and measurements is the microstrip antenna. However, the microstrip antenna can still be improved as it currently has unsatisfactory sensitivity for negative PDs, an oddity with the polarity of its measurement, and quite high levels of background noise.
