Abstract

The emergence of Wide Band Gap (WBG) technology has significantly enhanced the efficiency and power density of motor drives. As a result, WBG motor drives have widely been adopted in aircraft and transportation applications, particularly in More Electric Aircraft (MEA) systems. However, the reliability of the WBG high-power drive system is still a major concern. The reliability of medium and high-voltage motor drives sees an increased insulation degradation due to a more intense partial discharge (PD) exposure. Hence, PD condition monitoring, detection, and analysis are valuable for reliable operation and timely maintenance. This paper deals with PD detection at various voltage levels, dV/dt, and waveform shapes. This paper provides robust detection and analysis of PD events deriving the key relationship between PD probability and factors impacting PD events. This paper provides novel PD detection based on pattern recognition which is adaptable to varying voltage and frequency of supply. This algorithm can help the computation of charge per PD event as well as PD probability.
