Online partial discharge detection: LENA and UFSM strengthen their collaboration
Im April 2026 startete an der UFSM ein neues Forschungsprojekt zur Entwicklung und experimentellen Validierung eines Hochfrequenz-Stromwandlers (HFCT) für die Online-Überwachung von Teilentladungen an Betriebsmitteln des brasilianischen Stromnetzes. Das bis Ende 2028 angelegte Vorhaben unter Leitung von Prof. Aécio de Lima Oliveira (LAPES) wird von OVGU-Seite durch Dr.-Ing. Mauro Dos Santos Ortiz und M.Sc. Christoph Andres begleitet und ergänzt thematisch das vom LENA-Lehrstuhl koordinierte Projekt DeTEkt. Es vertieft damit die Zusammenarbeit zwischen UFSM und OVGU auf dem Gebiet der Online-Teilentladungsmessung, die bereits beim PROBRAL-Treffen im Juni 2026 in Santa Maria sichtbar wurde.
