It has been reported that nanoparticles can improve the insulation properties of transformer oil. However, there has been no evidence showing the effect of nanoparticles on insulation properties of aging transformer oil, and the modified mechanism of nanoparticles is not clear. To reveal the modified mechanism of nanoparticles on aging transformer oil, this paper presents the effects of TiO2 nanoparticles on the insulating properties, space charge characteristics and trap characteristics of aged transformer oil. The results show that the insulation properties of transformer oil with different aging degree are improved by adding TiO2 nanoparticles. The AC breakdown voltage of aged nanofluid is increased significantly to the one of non-aging transformer oil. The lightning impulse breakdown voltage is increased by 30%∼40%. Besides, the partial discharge inception voltage is increased by 12%. Moreover, the space charge characteristics measuring by the pulse electro-acoustic technique show that the charge dissipation rate of the aged transformer oil is increased by 57% with the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles, which reduces the accumulation of space charges. The thermally stimulation current shows that more traps with shallower energy level are induced by TiO2 nanoparticles. The charge trapping and de-trapping process in shallow traps are beneficial to the rapid dissipation of charges and restrains the accumulation of space charges. Therefore, TiO2 nanoparticles can effectively modify the charge accumulation and dissipation characteristics in aging transformer oil and significantly reduce the distortion of electric field, resulting in the improvement of the insulation property.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123043719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to extend the aging lifespan of transformers, scholars all over the world have spared no effort to delay the aging rate of the insulation paper. Recently, our group has proposed a novel 3-element mixed insulation oil, whose main parameters meet the current IEC 60296-2012 standard for mineral oil, indicating the novel 3-element mixed insulation oil can be used for replacing mineral oil directly. In this paper, different oilpaper systems which consist of 3-element mixed insulation oil, mineral oil and Kraft paper, were used for accelerating thermal aging test at $130^{circ}C$. In the middle aging period, aged mineral oil in some samples was replaced with new mineral oil and 3-element mixed insulation oil respectively, and then the accelerating thermal aging test continued. Comparison on thermal aging rate and AC breakdown of oil shows that the 3element mixed insulation oil could not only keep excellent insulation property in aging process after oil replacement, but also indeed decrease the thermal aging rate of aged insulation paper. Oil replacement with 3-element mixed insulation oil increases 1.5 times aging lifespan of insulation paper in the thermal aging experiment, which suggests that the service life of aged transformer may be extended by oil replacement with the novel 3-element mixed insulation oil.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115306367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, transformers are expected to operate stably and reliably. However, their functions may fail during operation. Dissolved gases analysis is one of the worldwide accepted diagnostic techniques to examine the insulation integrity of the transformers. This paper presents the analysis of dissolved gases generated from partial discharge (PD) experiments i.e. corona discharge, surface discharge and internal discharge which were conducted in the test cell filled with natural ester (FR3). To simulate corona discharge, a needle electrode with a tip radius of 10, 20, and 40 micrometers was used as high voltage electrode and the plane electrode with a diameter of 45 mm was used as a grounded electrode. The gap distance was fixed at 32 mm. The corona discharge experiment was performed for 2 hours at the test voltage level of 35, 40, 45 kV respectively. In case of surface discharge, the pressboard samples i.e. non-impregnated pressboards, 8-hour impregnated pressboards, and 16-hour impregnated pressboards were inserted between the 20-micrometer tip radius needle and grounded plane. Then, the test voltage of 25 kV was applied to the electrode system for 1 hour. Besides, the surface discharge was tested at 35 and 45 kV respectively. For internal discharge, the pressboard samples i.e. non-impregnated pressboards, 8-hour impregnated pressboards, and 16-hour impregnated pressboards were inserted between the plane-plane electrodes. Then the test voltage of 25 kV was applied to the electrode system for 1 hour. Moreover, the internal discharge was tested also at 35 and 45 kV. Their natural ester samples were sampling from the test cell for each experiment and the dissolved gases were measured and analyzed. From the test results, it was found that the types and quantity of dissolved gases depended strongly on the type of discharge and material samples.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130885407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field-induced ionization of the molecules, like in insulating liquids, is thought to be one of the processes of charge generation. In this paper, space charge measurement is realized to probe the effect of cumyl alcohol as one of the crosslinking byproducts. Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is used as polymer matrix, and soaked in cumyl alcohol. We show that polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) layers constitute efficient barriers to the evaporation of cumyl alcohol from LDPE films. The space charge behavior of soaked LDPE is compared to that of reference LDPE with PEN. Significant charge build-up occurs at the LDPE/PEN interfaces due to the conductivity gradient. PEN appears not suited for such analysis as the field is concentrated in the layer and is weak in the bulk LDPE.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126832489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the theory the flow over each electrode pair is most of the time directed from to small electrode to the large one but unpredicted flow patterns have also been obtained. It can be noticed that an unexpected reversed flow has even been observed in some configurations.
