摘要

This study demonstrated an improvement in partial discharge (PD) recognition for underground cable joints by saturating the images. The recognition rate increased as the phase-resolved PD (PRPD) images transitioned from sparse to saturated through the accumulation of more PD signals. Difference hashing (dHash) was used to calculate similarity scores among sequentially accumulated images. Furthermore, an image was identified as that corresponding to a saturated PRPD when its similarity score exceeded a set threshold. For validation, a PD dataset containing three different types of defects in cable joints was used to train a convolutional neural network model. Additionally, four thresholds—0.9, 0.95, 0.9925, and 0.997—were tested. The threshold of 0.95 is recommended as it effectively balances accuracy with power cycle efficiency, yielding accuracy rates of 93.12%, 95.14%, and 90.84% for defects A, B, and C, respectively. The proposed method effectively improves pattern recognition accuracy, particularly in scenarios with unclear or sparse measured data.
