TL;DR: It is concluded that an RSS-based PD WSN is a plausible solution for the monitoring of insulation integrity in electricity substations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the calibration of four types of partial discharge (PD) emulators used in the development of a PD Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been addressed, and a new method of estimating the absolute PD activity level from radiometric measurements is proposed.

TL;DR: The vulnerability of Zigbee technology to noise in an electricity substation environment is assessed and a Symmetric α-Stable process is modelled to investigate the likely BER performance of Zigbees deployed in a substation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wireless sensor network is proposed that utilizes only received signal strength to locate areas of PD activity within a highvoltage electricity substation, which consists of low power and low-cost radiometric sensor nodes which receive the radiation propagated from a source of PD.
