As a key step of the ultra-high frequency location method, the extraction of the time difference of arrival can generate large errors due to interference. To achieve accurate time difference extraction and further multi-source partial discharge location, a location method with comprehensive time difference extraction and a multi-data dynamic weighting algorithm is proposed. For time difference extraction, the optimized energy accumulation curve method applies wavelet transform and mode maximization calculations such that it overcomes the effect of interference signals before the wave peak. The secondary correlation method improves the interference capability by performing two rounds of correlation calculations. Both extraction methods are combined to reduce the error in time difference extraction. Then, the dynamic weighting algorithm effectively utilizes multiple data and improves the location accuracy. Experimental results on multi-source partial discharge locations performed in a transformer tank validate the accuracy of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e25040572","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]],"date-time":"2023-03-27T05:34:30Z","timestamp":1679895270000},"page":"572","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Multi-Source Partial Discharge Fault Location with Comprehensive Arrival Time Difference Extraction Method and Multi-Data Dynamic Weighting Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2679-9802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Disheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610097, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6052-4290","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering and Electronic Information, Xihua University, Chengdu 610097, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiuna","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1109\/TDEI.2016.005951","article-title":"Identification and location of PD-sources in power-transformers and power-generators","volume":"24","author":"Fuhr","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
