TL;DR: A low-cost, radiometric, partial discharge (PD) wireless sensor network (WSN) has been proposed to provide continuous real-time coverage for an entire substation as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A sensor is proposed that utilizes a pipelined, sample-and-hold based, folding analogue to digital converter structure that features low power consumption when no signal is present, making it suitable for low-power data conversion of radiometric partial discharge.

TL;DR: An incoherent wireless sensor incorporating a transistor-reset integrator has been developed that reduces the measurement bandwidth of the PD events and alleviates the need for high-speed sampling.

TL;DR: A comprehensive supervisory system is proposed and designed that integrates broadband radiometric sensors into a robust wireless network that provides monitoring, visualisation and localisation of the partial discharge sources.

TL;DR: Results obtained show that increasing the number of measurement sensors reduces the estimation error, and a novel localization algorithm is proposed that performs satisfactorily with no prior information of path loss model parameters.
