description Partial discharge (PD) localization in an air-insulated substation (AIS) can be used to assess insulation conditions efficiently. Many localization methods have been reported during the past few years. However, the error of the localization results has been large or the localization algorithm too inefficient. The reason is that the localization equation set is nonlinear and non-symmetrical. In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to improve the localization accuracy in 3D. Firstly, the proposed localization method is based on the symmetrical antenna array and the location error distribution is analyzed. Secondly, the objective function of PSO is constructed using the error distribution. Specifically, the 3D location target is divided into two steps—plane coordinates and height. The two targets are optimized respectively. To verify the method, a test is carried out by a prefabricated fault bushing in the laboratory to compare with the existing methods. According to the results, the localization error is 0.21 m, which can locate the PD source accurately. A complete calculation takes 42.29 s, and the efficiency is increased by 16.13 times under the same accuracy. The comparison results show that the proposed method can greatly improve the efficiency while ensuring accuracy.
