The requirements for the construction of a new power system inevitably pose significant challenges and changes to the operation and maintenance of the power grid. To ensure the safe and stable operation of ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission equipment, this work reports on the principles and preliminary results of using electroluminescence (EL)-based photon counting (PC) methods for early detection of micro-defects in GIS/GIL insulation spacer. In this study, the impact of voltage, gas pressure, and gas composition on the photon response of insulation is examined. Furthermore, the corresponding relationship between defect status and photon response characteristics is explored, along with the discussion of the EL mechanism and its evolution induced by defects. The research results demonstrate that PC measurement exhibits high sensitivity to variations in millimeter-scale defect size, position, and morphology at lower electric fields before partial discharge (PD) initiation. With this regard, this paper reveals promising prospects for the early detection of micro-defects in UHV transmission equipment using PC measurement-based methods.
