| Sumario: | Abstract This study focuses on the feature extraction and classification of surface discharges of ice-covered insulator strings during process of alternating current flashover. The test specimen was the five units suspension ceramic insulators, which was artificially accreted with wet-grown ice in the cold-climate room of CIGELE. Based on the IEEE Standard 1783/2009, flashover experiments were conducted on iced insulators to measure the minimum flashover voltage (VMF) and record the propagating process of surface discharges to flashover by using a high-speed video camera. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method has been used to extract four parameters of arc discharge images features that characterize different stages of flashover process. The parameters are angular second moment (ASM), contrast (CON), inverse difference moment (IDM) and entropy (ENT). These statistical parameters of GLCM can be extracted to reveal the underlying properties of ice flashover on the insulator surface from the quantitative perspective. The different values of these indicators are representative of the different stages in the process of arc discharge. Once the value of quantitative indicators (ASM, CON, IDM, ENT) of surface discharges exceeds the threshold value, the higher flashover risk of iced insulators will appear. Hence, the proposed methods are helpful to understand and monitor surface discharge on iced outdoor insulator strings for preventing flashover accidents. |
