It is co-extruded with a carbon black-filled semiconducting “semicon” polymer layer, which is significantly more conductive than XLPE. Understanding the electrical properties of the XLPE/semicon bilayer and the interface between the layers is critical due to their common use in high-voltage cables, and so, XLPE/semicon bilayers were developed, examined, and compared to XLPE in isolation. These materials were examined using current-voltage and dielectric displacement-voltage [D(P)–E] loop measurements. Current-voltage measurements were meant to examine the changes in leakage current while D(P)–E loops were used to examine the changes in dielectric loss, in both cases due to the addition of the semicon interface. Both techniques were used to analyze the charge transport response and development of space charge polarization in the bulk polymer and across the bilayer interface as a function of polarity at \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$90~^{circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000C. An increase in the apparent conductivity of the XLPE was measured when layered with the semicon, attributed to the increase in charge injection at the XLPE/semicon interface. Additionally, increases in the conductivity were observed with the application of higher electric fields. The addition of the semicon layer resulted in an increase in both the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss, and greater increases in both as the field is increased. Thus, it led to an enhancement in space charge polarization. Based on the experimental measurements from high-voltage D(P)–E loop measurement, a nonlinear circuit model was developed to fit the data and provide a close match to experimental values for resistivity and capacitance. The high-field circuit model was based on forward and reverse biased resistor and diode pathways in parallel with each other and with the bulk damped capacitor, and it predicts space charge limited conduction with a semicon electrode and Poole-Frenkel conduction with a metal electrode, highlighting the importance of interfaces on XLPE insulation performance.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 5","pages":"2632-2641"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868863","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, a feature fusion algorithm based on the stacking-attention mechanism is proposed. The ratios of decomposition products from C4F7N/CO2/O2 mixtures in various proportions under different discharge conditions are utilized as the dataset. Multiple feature extraction algorithms are employed as base learners to derive feature subsets from diverse dimensions. Subsequently, these feature subsets are fused using the attention mechanism as the meta-learner, and the contribution of each feature value is determined, thereby identifying the optimal feature subset. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimal feature values extracted by this method, when applied to classification algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN), effectively distinguish between defects including corona discharge, spark discharge, and suspended discharge in environmentally friendly gas-insulated equipment. Based on the decomposition characteristics, the ratios of CO/(C3F6+CF4) and CF4/C3F8 are proposed as diagnostic indicators for identifying discharge faults in engineering applications of C4F7N/CO2/O2 gas-insulated equipment.

Acquiring moisture content accurately and promptly at different points in oil-paper insulation is crucial to assess the risks associated with oil-filled equipment. Moisture primarily resides in the insulating paper within oil-paper insulation, and the change in moisture content in pressboard is a dynamic process, especially after localized dampening. Besides the exchanges between oil and paper, the predominant movement of moisture occurs within different regions of the insulating paper. Previous studies have primarily focused on moisture exchange at the interface between insulating paper and insulating oil. Due to the lack of nondestructive testing methods, exploration of the migration and diffusion of moisture within the internal structure of insulating pressboard is limited. This aspect is pivotal for accurately assessing moisture distribution within the insulation, thereby directly influencing the evaluation of insulation risks. In this study, the rapid and nondestructive sensing capabilities of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy are used to quantify moisture content in solid insulation. The integral value of the absorption coefficient spectrum within the frequency range of 0.3–1 THz serves as a characteristic parameter for quantifying moisture content in insulating paper. A 2-D moisture-diffusion model for localized dampening in pressboard is established based on the Fick model. Using this approach, the diffusion behavior of localized dampening in new and aged oil-impregnated pressboard is demonstrated, and the diffusion coefficient within the pressboard is calculated. A relationship between this coefficient and moisture concentration is determined. Finally, the obtained diffusion coefficient is used to numerically deduce 3-D localized moisture-diffusion behavior within the pressboard.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 5","pages":"2621-2631"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769477","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}

These conditions may cause significant space charge accumulation, potentially leading to premature breakdown of the film. However, due to the limitations in space charge measurement techniques, there are few reports on the relationship between space charge accumulation and prestress breakdown in micrometer thin films. In this work, the relationship between the space charge and the prestress failure in double-sided metalized biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film with a thickness of \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$3.8~mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000m is investigated. Both dc prestress treatment and breakdown testing of the thin films are conducted using a ball plate electrode. The Weibull breakdown distribution illustrates the impact of prestress voltage and duration on the breakdown strength of the thin films. The residual electric field of the films, induced by space charge accumulation during prestress treatment, is measured using the thermal pulse method (TPM). The data indicate that the breakdown strength of the samples subjected to prestress treatment decreases, with the degree of decrease in breakdown strength basically consistent with the highest residual electric field of prestress treatment in numerical values. This experimentally demonstrates that the accumulation of space charges is the direct cause of the decrease in breakdown field strength in micrometer-thin films.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"31 5","pages":"2389-2397"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769478","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}
