Abstract

The presence of normally distributed random fluctuations in power system signals can be used to extract valuable information about the condition of system equipment. One such component is the power cable, which is the primary focus of this work. This paper describes a unique methodology that allows online monitoring of a power cable. It uses frequency domain analysis techniques on the voltage signal and the behavior of resonant frequencies to monitor the condition of a power cable. The approach is initially explained using theoretical calculations followed by simulations in MATLAB/Simulink. The validity of this methodology is proved by comparing the results obtained from theory and simulation to actual measurement data.
