The Denoising Method for Transformer Partial Discharge Based on the Whale VMD Algorithm Combined with Adaptive Filtering and Wavelet Thresholding

Partial discharge (PD) is the primary factor causing insulation degradation in transformers. However, the collected signals of partial discharge are often contaminated with significant noise. This makes it difficult to extract the PD signal and hinders subsequent signal analysis and processing. This...

description Partial discharge (PD) is the primary factor causing insulation degradation in transformers. However, the collected signals of partial discharge are often contaminated with significant noise. This makes it difficult to extract the PD signal and hinders subsequent signal analysis and processing. This paper proposes a denoising method for transformer partial discharge based on the Whale VMD algorithm combined with adaptive filtering and wavelet thresholding (WVNW). First, the WOA is used to optimize the important parameters of the VMD. The selected mode components from the VMD decomposition are then subjected to preliminary denoising based on the kurtosis criterion. The reconstructed signal is further denoised using the Adaptive Filter (NLMS) algorithm to remove narrowband interference noise. Finally, the residual white noise is eliminated using the Wavelet Thresholding algorithm. In simulation experiments and practical measurements, the proposed method is compared quantitatively with previous methods, VMD-WT, and EMD-WT, based on metrics such as SNR, RMSE, NCC, and NRR. The results indicate that the WVNW method effectively suppresses noise interference and restores the original PD signal waveform with high waveform similarity while preserving a significant amount of local discharge signal features.
