description In this study, a novel method based on deep learning was developed for partial discharge (PD) pattern recognition. Traditional PD recognition methods are crucial for extracting features from PD patterns. The method of extracting crucial features is the key to PD pattern identification. The fractal theory is commonly used to determine the features of discharge patterns. The feature distribution of different defect types can be determined according to the fractal dimensions and lacunarity. However, finding fractal features is a complicated process. In this study, a PD image was entered as an input into a deep learning system to reduce the complexity of finding features. First, four defect type of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) experimental models are established. Then, an LDP-5 inductive sensor (L-sensor) was used to measure the ground line signals caused by PD phenomenon. Second, these electrical signals were transformed into the most representative 3D ($n$ -$q$ -$\varphi$ ) PD patterns. Finally, a convolutional neural network was employed for PD image pattern recognition. A total of 160 sets of PD patterns were measured using a 15-kV GIS. The results obtained with the proposed method were compared with those obtained with the fractal method. The results revealed that the proposed method is easy to use and can easily distinguish various defect types. The proposed approach can determine the GIS insulation status and provide information to construction units for maintenance.
