Ultrasonic Localization of Partial Discharge in Power Transformer Based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

The partial discharge source localization by ultrasonic measuring in a power transformer has been evolved into a multidisciplinary subject with a definite application background and important theoretical research value. In this paper, the signal parameter estimation model for ultrasonic localization has been developed by referring to the propagation properties of the ultrasonic wave. Thus, the localization problem is transformed into a nonlinearly continuous function optimization problem. Within the framework of optimization and inspired by certain mechanisms in sociology, psychology and ecology, the problem is solved with the recently proposed particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The results of calculating examples show that the solution of the algorithm proposed possesses high calculating efficiency and converging speed. PSO can effectively prevent the results from becoming locally optimized, which is evidently better than the least-square algorithm.
