Abstract
A system for detecting partial discharge activity in an electrostatic precipitator is provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to receive and transmit signals representative of voltage or current behavior of the electrostatic precipitator. The system also includes a processor configured to receive the signals from the one or more sensors and configured for detecting one or more occurrences of partial discharge activity in the electrostatic precipitator.
Claims26
A system for detecting partial discharge activity in an electrostatic precipitator, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to receive and transmit signals representative of voltage or current behavior of the electrostatic precipitator;
- and
- a processor configured to receive the signals from the one or more sensors and configured for detecting one or more occurrences of partial discharge activity in the electrostatic precipitator.
An electrostatic precipitator system, the system comprising:
- an electrostatic precipitator for extracting pollutants;
- and
- a partial discharge analyzer coupled electrically to the electrostatic precipitator and configured for detecting one or more occurrences of partial discharge activity in the electrostatic precipitator.
A method for monitoring partial discharge activity in an electrostatic precipitator, the method comprising
- obtaining current or voltage data from the electrostatic precipitator;
- detecting patterns in the data indicative of partial discharge;
- and
- analyzing the patterns for determining a normal condition or an aging condition of one or more components of the electrostatic precipitator.
