Abstract
The disclosure herein relates to a field-programmable gate array for detecting and normalizing partial discharges in a digital signal. The field-programmable gate array includes a filter that receives the digital signal and isolates high frequency information from the digital signal. The field-programmable gate array then normalizes the high frequency information by a compensation value to produce a normalized signal. Further, a comparator of the field-programmable gate array can determine whether the normalized signal exceeds a threshold input. In turn, a counter of the field-programmable gate array increments a counter value in response to each determination that the high frequency information exceeds the threshold input.
