Abstract
One of the major challenges in power transmission is the losses incurred during transmitting power from the isolated power generation source to substation. Transmission through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is an economically reliable alternative and a promising solution to minimize losses over long distance transmission. The aim of our work is to replace the conventionally used cross linked poly ethylene (thermo set material) by an alternative thermoplastic material in order to increase the life of the cable. Thermoplastic materials are highly desirable for HVDC cable insulation because of its recyclability and absence of bye products. In this work the dielectric properties of the isotactic polypropylene (iPP) is improved by introduction of inorganic nanoparticles. Investigation is done on the break down strength of the iPP/nano composites thin film with different weight percentage for HVAC and HVDC applications. A comprehensive analysis of iPP/nano composites its suitability in HVDC cable insulation application.
