Partial discharge (PD) detection is an effective way to evaluate the insulation condition of electrical equipment in power systems. The non-intrusive TEV-detecting method which detects transient earth voltage (TEV) signals from the external surface of equipment does not require interruptions of electrical operations and is thus preferred by more and more researchers, engineers and users. However, as a new technique, TEV based PD measurement is not well developed in many aspects, for example, the measuring system and the de-noising methods. Consequently, the research and development of the TEV based PD measurement has become an interesting topic in recent decades. This thesis presents an investigation on the sensing system and the de-noising methods of TEV based PD measurement system. First of all, the mechanism, popular measuring systems, noise types and existing de-noising methods of PDs are reviewed. Secondly, based on the characteristics of TEV signals, a TEV based PD measuring system was proposed and its effectiveness has been demonstrated by an experimental test. Next, the optimal settings of a popular de-noising method for non-impulsive noise, wavelet thresholding, are selected and its processing efficiency is enhanced by using parallelism algorithm in C environment. Furthermore, the wavelet entropy is proposed to classify PD pulses from impulsive noises. Finally, a noise reduction system using Fourier transform and time-frequency entropy is proposed to reject various kinds of noises. The non-intrusive PD measuring techniques have been more and more popular in recent years. In this thesis, a TEV based PD measuring system is proposed. The major parts: non-intrusive sensor and high-pass filter are designed according to the characteristics of TEV signals. The performance of proposed system is demonstrated by an experimental test where the PD signals are collected by both TEV and HFCT sensors. By considering the features of proposed system, the detected TEV signals are well simulated. Due to the external locations of TEV sensors, the performance of TEV based PD detection is limited by noises. To remove non-impulsive noises, wavelet thresholding is often used.
