This study successfully detected SF6 decomposition products using a micro sensor array and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A recognition model based on SDAE was established to identify discharge faults in power equipment. This work provides a promising novel method for rapid on-site inspection of SF6-insulated power equipment.
SF6 decomposition products could reflect the running status and inner faults of power equipment, and it's expected to realize a timely warning. In this work, six faults including spark and corona discharge were simulated, and SF6 decomposition products with various types and contents were obtained as well. Different from previous investigations employing precision instruments, such as gas chromatography and infrared spectroscopy, a micro sensor array loaded with three gas-sensitive nanomaterials was used to discriminate fault characteristic gases, performing obvious advantages in small size, high integration, and rapid detection. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) indicated that seven analytes had significant differences in types and contents. Meanwhile, the as-prepared micro gas sensor array also outputted significantly various signals for seven analytes, which provided a basis for gas identification. With the assistance of stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE)-based discrimination algorithms, the recognition model between the response signals of the array and the discharge faults in power equipment could be established. In comparison with KNN (66.67 %), decision tree (70.47 %), and BPNN (73.33 %), SVM has achieved the highest average accuracy of 75.23 %. Totally, this work provides a promising novel method for rapid on-site inspection of SF6-insulated power equipment.
