For instance, the inaugural 400-kV DC interconnection, linking Belgium and the UK using cables insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), was established in 2019 [1] and has been operational to accommodate fluctuating power requirements, particularly in the UK. This HVDC link between Belgium and the UK, called the NEMO link, was constructed using innovative voltage source converters (VSC). On the other hand, numerous 350- to 450-kV HVDC systems employing conventional line-commutated converters (LCC) remain in the world, and some have been operated for over 25 years. In such LCC HVDC systems, cables insulated with oil-impregnated paper, such as self-contained fluid-filled (SCFF) or mass-impregnated (MI) cables, are used. However, some have deteriorated after a long service due to malfunctions such as oil migration and fatigue fracture of lead sheaths around insulation caused by heat cycles. In general, LCC, probably receiving lighter external stresses than undersea cables, seem to be more robust and require less maintenance than cable systems. Consequently, replacing outdated paper-insulated cables with XLPE cables is a beneficial upgrade, while keeping the same converter.","PeriodicalId":444,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine","volume":"40 6","pages":"23-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10721379","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142447144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using modulated pump light to heat the cobalt-doped fiber results in a dynamic temperature response in the wind speed sensor. Wind speeds are related to the amplitudes of the dynamic temperature response rather than the static steady-state temperature, which enhances measurement precision. The response sensitivity is higher under lower wind speeds. The temperature of the cobalt-doped fiber rises as it absorbs the pump light energy and then drops when the pump light is turned off. The center wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) exhibits periodic shifts with temperature variations. A part of the sensor’s heat is taken away in a wind field, which causes various temperature response amplitudes under the same pump light energy. The amplitudes of the FBG center wavelength vary with different wind speeds. By using the edge-filtering intensity demodulation method, the wavelength variation amplitudes with temperature are converted into the amplitudes of the photodetector’s output voltage variation. The specific relationship between the amplitudes of voltage variation and wind speeds is used to measure wind speed. Measurements were taken within a wind speed range of 0–3 m/s. Experimental results demonstrate that the sensor has good repeatability and stability. Its sensitivity can reach −9.79 mV/(m\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$cdot $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000s\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$^{-{1}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000) at low wind speeds.

Through careful analysis, the new high-order mode TE45,18 is chosen as the operation mode. Simultaneously, the magnetic injection electron gun is researched to meet the operation requirement of the gyrotron. A novel curved gradient structure is proposed instead of the traditional linear folding structure for obtaining high-quality electronic beams. Through the linear theory and the time-dependent multimode self-consistent nonlinear theory of gyrotron, the detailed study of mode competition is conducted in the resonator cavity. The TE45,18 mode can maintain operational stability while suppressing other competition modes at the magnetic field of 9.9600 T, the operation voltage of 80 kV, and the beam current of 35 A. When considering the ideal electron beam, the output power is 1070 kW and the operation efficiency is 38.21%. The output power and operation efficiency are reduced to 1041 kW, and 37.17%, respectively, when considering the realistic electron beam from the magnetic injection gun (MIG) electron gun.","PeriodicalId":450,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science","volume":"52 8","pages":"3103-3110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
