Insulator filth monitoring and situation awareness based on ultraviolet pulse and least square method

To monitor the filth state of insulators in time, a method based on ultraviolet pulse method is proposed to monitor the filth status of insulators, which can detect the early corona discharge of insulators by detecting UV signals and determine the degree of insulator filth. On this basis, the response characteristics of spot area to electrical pulse signal are studied and theoretical analysis is carried out, the relationship between spot area and electrical pulse signal amplitude is studied, and the correlation curve is obtained. By observing the change law of image size with the observation distance in ultraviolet image. the experiment found that the image size of UV channel and the image size of visible light channel increased or decreased in approximate proportion with the observation distance and proposed a new method to estimate the “discharge imaging area ” of discharge on the surface of the insulator by using the image information of the visible light channel. According to the discharge “relative spot area mean”, one minute time “number of large spot area image frames” two ultraviolet imaging parameters used to characterize the filth discharge characteristics, combined with the ambient humidity to establish a fuzzy logic reasoning model of the filth state, to achieve the assessment of the filth state of the insulator. By using the proposed UV image processing method, the accuracy of insulator filth detection is improved.
