Abstract
With growing demands of offshore wind energy, condition assessment of power infrastructures in offshore wind farms becomes crucial. Among the electrical equipment, diagnostics of inter-array cables is essential owing to its role of interconnecting between the facilities and power transmission. In this paper, we propose a new online fault localization algorithm that locates a failure of cable by applying deconvolution to acquired signals considering the propagation characteristics of the cable. When propagated fault signals are acquired by the time-synchronized fault recorders located at both ends of the cable, the fault signals are restored in both directions for each unit distance based on the estimated cable transfer function. After the process of pairing the bidirectionally restored signal with the signal on the same point, the similarity between each paired signal is measured by normalized cross-correlation. Finally, the fault location is estimated from the point with the highest similarity. In order to verify the robustness of the proposed method, experiments estimating various locations of faults are conducted, and failure scenarios are emulated at every unit distance using a computational simulation tool. We expect that the proposed method can improve the reliability of system operation on wind farm.
