HV Power Equipment Diagnosis Based on Infrared Imaging Analyzing

Abstract

Infrared imaging detection is an important method detecting the high-voltage(HV) power equipments running state. It is a kinds of non-contact on-line measurement that can determine the HV power equipment running state, find the fault position and predictive its future state. In the process of the infrared images analyzing, the computer captures remote equipments images, calculates images' moment invariants as characteristic vector of recognition, recognizes power equipments by support vector machine (SVM). The system further analyzes images and find if images has convex hull, intensive stochastic noise, or false edges, sequently make a conclusion whether the running state of equipments is in order. Replace of scouting by people themselves, the use of image recognition in power system can timely find troubles and potential troubles of power equipments.
