Abstract

The main method for monitoring the condition of stator insulation in hydrogenerators is the measurement of partial discharge pulses through capacitive couplers. However, ozone concentration, produced by partial discharges exposed to air, can also be measured and provides valuable insights into the machine's condition. Ozone is highly reactive and can cause chemical damage to generators, especially when combined with atmospheric nitrogen and humidity to form nitric acid. The chapter delves into the historical understanding of ozone's role in insulation degradation, the chemical reactions involved, and the practical implications for diagnostic methods. It highlights the importance of continuous ozone monitoring and the challenges associated with interpreting ozone concentrations in relation to partial discharges. The chapter also discusses the various types of sensors used for ozone measurement and their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it explores the environmental and health implications of ozone production in electrical machinery, emphasizing the need for proper monitoring and maintenance practices. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the value of ozone measurements as a diagnostic tool for predictive maintenance, offering a valuable perspective on the complex interplay between electrical discharges, ozone formation, and insulation degradation in hydrogenerators.
