Throughout its aging process, the cellulose paper generates moisture, while the insulating oil contains varying levels of oxygen. Understanding the aging mechanism of cellulose paper necessitates an exploration of the synergistic interplay between moisture and oxygen. This article establishes models incorporating varying moisture, oxygen, and cellobiose concentrations. Molecular dynamics simulations employing the reactive force field (ReaxFF) are employed to investigate the effects of moisture and oxygen addition on the decomposition of cellobiose. The mechanisms underlying the effects of moisture and oxygen on cellobiose decomposition are examined. The changes in the content of the major end products, including H2O, CO2, CO, HCHO, and HCOOH, are also analyzed. It is found that oxygen promotes the formation of C = O bonds and the production of free H from cellobiose. Moisture provides free H and promotes further reactions. The synergistic effect of moisture and oxygen accelerates the aging process of cellulose paper. This investigation provides theoretical support for further research into the aging mechanism of cellulose paper.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"1008-1016"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, scientific design and research on the mechanism responsible for the breakdown of solid-solid interfaces (e.g., cable joints), which are weak points in electrical insulation, is lacking. Therefore, in this study, the insulating strength of the interface in relation to the electric field form and voltage endurance time is examined. Specifically, the increase in the insulation strength and the ablation of cross-linked polyethylene–silicone rubber (XLPE–SiR) interfaces are investigated based on the ramped breakdown and step-stress methods. The results illustrate that the dc breakdown strength surpasses the ac breakdown strength, while the ac field fails to reach the composite (ac–dc) electric field breakdown strength. Furthermore, the interfacial breakdown strength is influenced by both long-term and transient stresses. The interfacial breakdown process can be divided into three stages. The breakdown voltage increases in the short term with decreasing step-up rate. Step-stress tolerance experiments and simulations indicate that the highly distorted electric field at asperity contacts leads to cavity discharges and electrothermal losses, resulting in the ablation of the asperities on the rough surface. The electric field distortion decreases with decreasing interface roughness, leading to an increase in breakdown strength. Moreover, as the endurance time increases, the improvement of the ac breakdown strength is more significant than that of the composite electric field, while the dc breakdown strength shows the least improvement.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"690-698"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, based on a 2-D fluid model, we investigated the validity of similarity laws for streamer propagation in combined air gaps, which have a floating metal structure between the high voltage and ground electrodes. The dynamic similarities of high-pressure streamer propagation inside combined air gaps are demonstrated by keeping the product of geometrical length and gas pressure constant in the original and downscaled gaps. The streamer propagation represented by the electron source term and the streamer velocity in single and combined gaps are obtained and compared, which also confirms the influence of floating metal on streamer characteristics. Temporal behaviors of the streamer propagation represented by the electron density distributions are found to be rather the same, which validates the dynamic streamer similarity. In addition, the simulation results show that similarity properties could be undermined by the photoionization effect whereas its impact can be excluded if the quenching pressure of the photoionization source term is linearized. By further excluding the nonlinear processes, such as the three-body electron attachment process, similarity laws are more rigorously verified. The results from this study confirm the applicability of similarity laws for streamer discharge in combined air gaps under designed conditions, which are beneficial for the exploration and conduction of downscaled aircraft ground tests for simulating lightning strike effects.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"1017-1026"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142212992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PD current forms were observed over polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films, widely used as insulating films. The PD current waveforms over PI, PET, and PEN films exhibited approximately 5 ns peak time for both positive and negative pulses, with a pulsewidth time at half height of the peak value ranging from about 5–15 ns. These times vary depending on the material kind and discharge gap length. The frequency dependence of those times showed little change over applied voltage frequencies.

The results show that the introduction of DCBP reduces the density of deep trap, increases the density of shallow trap and the degree of crosslinking, is more conducive to the detrapping and migration of charge, and accelerates the attenuation of the surface potential of the composite. Under the condition of sinusoidal voltage of 7 kV and frequency of 10 kHz, the composite material can effectively inhibit the development of the along-surface discharge compared with PSG, and the total discharge times are reduced by 65.08%, 48.71%, and 18.27%, respectively.

Furthermore, a transient model for acoustic wave propagation in a multilayer power cable is established. Numerical analysis with finite element analysis is conducted to analyze the effects of different discharge magnitudes under the same cavity height and different cavity heights under the same discharge magnitude on the acoustic waves at the surface of the power cable. The simulation reveals that higher discharge magnitude results in greater intensity of the acoustic wave and longer cavities result in lower acoustic frequencies. Ultimately, a series of validation experiments are implemented to acquire the statistical acoustic characteristics.
