Multi-point distributed partial discharge detection and location are important for electrical equipment. In this paper, a distributed partial discharge location and detection scheme based on optical fiber Rayleigh backscattering light interference is experimentally demonstrated. At the same time, the location and extraction algorithm is used to demodulate the partial discharge signal; furthermore, the high-pass filter is used to reduce the system low-frequency noise and environment noise. It is clear that the proposed system can detect a partial discharge signal generated by metal needle sensitivity, and the detectable frequency range is 0\u20132.5 kHz. We carried out 10 locating tests for two sensing units, the experimental results show that the maximum location error is 1.0 m, and the maximum standard deviation is 0.3795. At same time, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of sensing unit 1 and sensing unit 2 are greatly improved after demodulation, which are 39.7 and 38.8, respectively. This provides a new method for a multipoint-distributed optical fiber sensor used for detecting and locating a long-distance electrical equipment partial discharge signal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23041828","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]],"date-time":"2023-02-07T01:35:17Z","timestamp":1675733717000},"page":"1828","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Distributed Partial Discharge Locating and Detecting Scheme Based on Optical Fiber Rayleigh Backscattering Light Interference"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Zhengxian","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectric Materials Science and Technology, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectric Materials Science and Technology, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Dawei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Optical-Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, China"}]},{"given":"Yashuai","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectric Materials Science and Technology, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Xinyan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectric Materials Science and Technology, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Xianfeng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectric Materials Science and Technology, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Optoelectric Materials Science and Technology, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu 241002, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1049\/hve2.12123","article-title":"Oil-paper insulation partial discharge ultrasonic multifrequency sensing array based on fibre-optic Fabry-Perot sensor","volume":"7","author":"Zhang","year":"2021","journal-title":"High Volt."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2279","DOI":"10.1109\/TDEI.2018.007065","article-title":"Localization of partial discharge in transformer oil using Fabry-P\u00e9rot optical fiber sensor array","volume":"25","author":"Gao","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
