Condition monitoring of 6…36 kV cables• Goal of condition monitoring

– To reveal potential defects in materials and installation during their warranty period

– To prevent unplanned interruptions caused by deterioration of the cable and cable accessories during operation due to electrical, mechanical and thermal stresses

– To extend the useful life of cables at the end of their lifecycle– To produce condition information for

Page 4: D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring method …sgemfinalreport.fi/files/D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring... · • Proposed condition monitoring method for cable network

Priorisation of the cables• The extent and methods of condition monitoring should be

defined based on the priority of the cable

• The priority depends on, among others, – Criticality of the cable from the customer point of view

• Number and importance of the customers fed by the cable• Harm due to fault (outage costs)

– Criticality of the cable from structural and installation environment point of view

• Cable type and accessories (e.g. resilience to environmental stresses, the amount and degree of difficulty of handcrafting in the installation phase)

• Installation method and soil type (e.g. ploughing in rocky soil is a risk)• Environmental stresses (humidity, salt, impurities of air, temperature,

temperature variations)

Condition monitoring methods• Proposed condition monitoring method for cable network

– High priority cables• Continuous on-line PD monitoring, disturbance records• Periodic thermal imaging and ultrasonic mapping of terminations• Periodic tan-delta

– Medium priority cables• Periodic on-line PD, disturbance records• Periodic thermal imaging and ultrasonic mapping of terminations

Page 7: D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring method …sgemfinalreport.fi/files/D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring... · • Proposed condition monitoring method for cable network

High priority cables• Primary method: continuous on-line PD measurement• Secondary methods: periodic thermal imaging, analysis of

disturbance records (see Task 6.12)• Supporting methods: continuous or periodic ultrasonic monitoring

– discrimination between internal (harmful) and external discharges in terminations

7

• Preferred PD measurement method– Inductive PD sensor installed permanently

at the cable terminations above the ground strap (see figure) to measure PD pulses in the phase conductor

– 50 Hz synchronization of the PD data• From MV busbar voltage transformer

secondary (primary substations) or voltage sensor integrated into the cable termination

• From the LV phase voltages (if MV measurement is not available)

Recommeded installation(least susceptible to interference)

Alternative installation(more susceptible to interference)

Pertti Pakonen et al.

Page 8: D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring method …sgemfinalreport.fi/files/D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring... · • Proposed condition monitoring method for cable network

Medium priority cables• Periodic inspections for example 12, 20, 60, 120, 180, 240, 270, 300 etc. months

from commissioning (twice during guarantee period, then 5 year intervals and 2.5 year intervals after e.g. 20 years)

• Primary method: periodic on-line PD detection, disturbance records• Supporting methods:

– Thermal imaging: detection of discharges in terminations– Ultrasonic mapping: discrimination between internal (harmful) and external

discharges in terminations• Methods to enable periodic on-line measurement

– Installation of permanent low cost inductive sensors on the cable termination • Preferably above the ground strap (see figure on the previous page) to measure PD

pulses in the phase conductor or alternatively• On the ground strap (more susceptible to disturbances)

– or modification of the cable termination ground strap routing so that PD sensor can be safely installed without supply interruption. Modification could be done e.g. during scheduled secondary substation maintenance or repair outage.

Periodic on-line measurement - procedure1. PD sensor test/calibration, aiming to:

– check that all sensors and cables work and a correctly connected– determine the amplitude correction factor of each sensor– store the calibration pulse waveforms (for use in the interpretation of

the PD measurement results)2. Pulse injection test, aiming to:

– to determine the pulse propagation velocity in the cable if the cable length is known based on the network information system or cable path measurement (or if the propagation velocity is known, to detetrmine the cable length)

– store a reference waveform of the pulse reflections (joints, cable end)3. PD measurement, aiming to:

– to store several (or preferably tens or hundreds of) 50 Hz cycles of 3-phase PD data and 50 Hz phase voltage reference for further analysis

PD measurement:

• Important considerations:– Install the sensors at the cable terminations above the ground strap (see figure) to measure

PD pulses in the phase conductor– make sure that the volts/div setting is high enough so that there are no range overflows in

the measurement data (if some of the pulses are clipped, filtering and data analysis results will be degraded)

Documentation of the PD measurements• The following information is proposed to be documented from PD

measurement setup:– Measuring device + sensor(s), firmware/software version– Connection method/place of the sensor– Measurement date/time, temperature and humidity (outdoor locations)– Network configuration, cable load currents

• From PD measurements of each phase:– Background noise level [pC], approximation between the PD pulse trains– Measurement voltage (optional)– PD levels [pC] in each phase - largest repeatedly occurring pulse

(LROP), max pulse– PRPD (phase resolved PD) patterns in each phase– PD location(s) in each phase

Which PD magnitude is harmful?

24

In product standards of cables and cable accessories the following requirements are specified for maximum apparent charges • XLPE cables < 5 pC• terminations and joints of XLPE cables < 20 pC

The harmfulness of the discharge depends on, among others: • The dielectric material in or on which the partial discharge takes place• Magnitude and direction of electric field at the discharge location• The gas in which the partial discharge occursPractical apparent charge limits for XLPE and paper-oil insulated cables:

Thermal imaging• Thermal imaging may detect

– loose contacts e.g. in cable lugs– internal and external partial discharges in cable terminations and

support insulators/metal oxide arresters (MOAs)• the existence of PD should be confirmed by electrical PD measurements• thermal imaging supports PD location based on electrical PD measurement

• Equipment:– Thermal camera

Page 28: D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring method …sgemfinalreport.fi/files/D2.3.24 Proposal for condition monitoring... · • Proposed condition monitoring method for cable network

Thermal imaging• Important considerations related to thermal imaging:

– Before making any maintenance or repair decisions based on partial discharges detected, verify that

• Detected hot-spots are really due to internal discharges and not, e.g. due to

– External discharges on the surface of the termination, which are usually caused by condensed moisture at the surface of the termination and, according to termination manufacturers, not harmful (if necessary, they can be removed by cleaning and drying the termination surface)

• This may be verified e.g. based on – ultrasonic measurements (internal discharges usually cannot be detected

using the horn or parabolic sensor)– location of the hot-spots in thermal image (internal discharges are usually

located around the end of the insulation screen)– the extent of temperature rise compared to surrounding surfaces (in

internal discharges this is usually relatively small)– Detection of loose contacts requires that there is a considerable (e.g. 50

% of the nominal) load current running through the cable

– Harmful internal discharges e.g. due to problems in stress control at the end of insulation screen (e.g. installation faults)

• Usually not detectable by ultrasonic measurement– Usually less harmful external discharges due to condensed moisture and dry

band forming on the surface of the termination• Detectable by ultrasonic measurement

• Equipment: Ultrasonic detector with• Center frequency f = 40 kHz• Bandwidth (-6 dB) f = ±2 kHz

• Documentation of the results:– Ultrasonic detector model and software version– Date and time, temperature and humidity (outdoor locations), cable load currents– Location of the highest ultrasonic source in each phase, average and maximum

ultrasonic noise voltage in dBµV at those locations, measured at a distance of 1,5 m from the termination

– Detector with cone form concentrator• Most suitable for measurement

distances of 1-2 m– Detector with parabolic reflector

• Most suitable for measurement distances of 5-50 m

• Detector with parabolic detector– Note that depending on the

construction of the detector there may be a considerable parallax error between the focus points of the laser pointer and parabolic reflector (ultrasound) if the measurement is done closer to the target than recommended (e.g. < 5 m)

Measurement from primary vs. secondary substation

37

Primary substation (PS) Secondary substation (SS) - Recommended

+ many cables available for measurement (efficient) + often lower noise level compared to PS

+ MV phase voltages available from busbar PT’s for sync. - no potential transformers for 50 Hz sync of PD meas.

+ warm and dry environment - usually only 1-4 cables available for measurement

- often higher noise level compared to SS - usually outdoor environment especially at rural SS

Measurement from phase conductor vs. ground strap

38

Phase conductor - Recommended Ground strap

+ less phase to phase crosstalk and disturbances compared to ground strap

+ lower 50 Hz current

- higher 50 Hz current -> HFCT saturation + usually accessible

- not accessible in plug-in terminations - more susceptible to phase-to-phase crosstalk and disturbances compared to phase conductor

Conclusions: proposed condition monitoring methods for cables of different priority

x = mandatory, o = optional, c = conditional, to monitor or to locate and evaluate the harmfulness of PD detected earlier by other means 1) If PD is detected by continuous or periodic monitoring, on-line PD analyzer measurement (or off-line PD

measurement) is used to locate and assess the harmfulness of the discharge2) If cable is repaired, these measurements are conducted before re-energizing the cable, otherwise optional (may be

used as an alternative to PD analyzer measurements in noisy environments, requires a supply interruption)
