Then, the multiphysics energy release power (ERP) is extrapolated based on the amplitude of the measurement signal amplitude. Also, three ERP values are normalized to analyze the proportional relationship of energy releases at different stages of discharge, which is further mapped in a ternary power pattern. In addition, we develop a probability recognition model based on the ternary error-correcting output coding (ECOC) united with a support vector machine (SVM). Meanwhile, by introducing discharge data of the same type with different defect scales, it can be verified that the proposed model possesses significant robustness. Besides, Gaussian process regression (GPR) is applied to fit the relationship between the ternary power pattern and apparent discharge energy (ADE). Also, the risk index and risk level are defined based on the temporal information of ADE during the entire discharge process, which is incorporated with the pulse repetition rate to achieve the visualization of discharge risk assessment.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"55-62"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106315","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, the aging of the polymers in composite insulators is a key issue affecting the reliable operation, posing challenges for the condition diagnosis of composite insulators. Knowledge graph is an emerging technique for structuring existing experience and knowledge, which shows promising prospects on maintenance efficiency enhancement for composite insulators. This article introduces the condition diagnosis approach for composite insulators based on knowledge graph. First, the annotated corpus of composite insulator was constructed based on the technical reports, handbooks, open published articles, and standards. This work defined nine types of entities and nine types of relations. Then, the a lite bidirectional encoder representations from transformer (ALBERT)–bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM)–conditional random field (CRF) model and the ALBERT-bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU)–attention model are employed to realize the entities and relations recognition and the <inline-formula> <tex-math>${F}1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> scores of which reach 92.49% and 92.36%, respectively, exhibiting better performance than any other models. At last, the first knowledge graph on composite insulator was constructed. There are 820 entity-relation–entity triplets, covering the basic information, environmental conditions, test methods, fault mechanisms, and so on. This work will provide an artificial intelligence tool for condition diagnosis of composite insulators.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"28-35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106312","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}

Wide ranges of voltage parameters (frequency, voltage, rising edge, and dc bias) and environmental stresses (temperature, humidity, gas, and pressure) are applied to the sphere-gap-insulation-plate structure for PD aging analysis. New patterns are found in this study. For example, the shape of the rising edge affects the lifetime, and the influences of humidity and dc bias are nonmonotonic. Surface charge decay and voltage dV/dt have key effects on the discharge pattern. Early failures with pulse frequencies of 50 and 100 kHz are attributed to the interaction of humidity and electric field. The erosion rate is lower at oxygen-free ambient, while higher with CO2 gas. PD parameters (PD number, PD amplitude, PD delay, PD ignition voltage, and PD frequency) and phase-resolved PD (PRPD) patterns are measured with the ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) method and discussed for all aging conditions. Cumulative PD amplitude and cumulative PD energy have a good correlation to experimental lifetime values. However, due to the transition of the PD regime, the fit model has less explainability on the influence of voltage, humidity, gas, and pressure on the lifetime, which is rarely revealed before.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"45-54"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106314","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}

After 672 h of thermal exposure, there is no sludge, but the color of the samples is significantly changed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is used to assess the occurrence of degradation products, the neutralization value is used to determine the total acidity, and the relative permittivity is used to correlate the influence of degradation products on the dielectric properties of the synthetic ester. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and color analysis are used to investigate the appearance and composition of the degradation products of seven selected samples. The NMR study shows that the change observed in the FTIR spectra, the neutralization value, and the relative permittivity as a function of aging conditions correspond very well with the size and shape of the 1 H NMR peak of 3.51 ppm, confirming that the formation of alcohols, ethers, and cross-links is responsible for the aging of the ester.

In the early stage of aging (0–168 h), the dielectric properties of epoxy resin are slightly improved, which are characterized by the reduction of dielectric loss and conductivity and the slightly enhancement of breakdown strength. These are attributed to the molecular rearrangement and postcuring reactions inside the epoxy resin, as evidenced by the improved glass transition temperature. With the continuous increase of thermal aging time, oxidative decomposition and scission reactions start to dominate. The cross-linked network of epoxy resin is gradually destroyed, leading to the increase of carrier quantity and the reduction of trap energy level and density. The dielectric polarization and charge injection are intensified, while the partial discharge initiation voltage (PDIV) and breakdown strength are decreased significantly. After aging for 1440 h, the conductivity could be increased by 59.64%, and the breakdown strength is decreased by 18.14%. The insulation performance of epoxy resin is determined by the competition results of the molecular rearrangement, postcuring, and oxidative cleavage reactions during thermal aging, which could provide a theoretical basis for the aging assessment of epoxy resin for high-voltage applications.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"254-262"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106402","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}

The effects of metal particle materials, the Gaussian equivalent radius, and the bounce heights on the cut-off frequency of the AE signal were obtained. Through the AE measurement experiments of metal particle colliding with an aluminum plate, the accuracy of the cut-off frequency calculation model was verified. Besides, the experiment confirmed that the propagation mode of the AE signal on GIS enclosure was primarily the S0 mode Lamb wave. The attenuation of the AE signal was analyzed. The geometric attenuation and the energy loss attenuation were determined as the primary attenuation processes. A calculation model for the attenuation of AE signal was established. Based on this, the variation of the cut-off frequency after propagation on the GIS enclosure was clarified.

How to rationally deal with waste SF6 has become an extensive research topic for scholars at home and abroad. Studies have shown that ZIF-8 has certain superiority as a catalyst, while metal doping in ZIF-8 may promote its catalytic ability. In this article, the undoped ZIF-8 model and the Cu-doped ZIF-8 model (Zn:Cu =1:5; Zn:Cu =3:3) were constructed, and the most stable adsorption structures of SF6 at three typical sites were obtained based on density-functional theory (DFT), with the 6-membered ring (6MR) window as the optimal adsorption site. The stable adsorption energy was the largest in the Zn:Cu =5:1 doped model (−98.352 kcal/mol), and during the adsorption process, the SF6 molecular bond lengths changed most drastically, and even the bond breaking phenomenon appeared. The catalytic ability of the Zn:Cu =3:3 doping model was in between that of the ZIF-8 and Zn:Cu =1:5 doping models. The results of the Mulliken charge transfer and the HOMO-LUMO energy level showed that in the Zn:Cu =5:1 doping model, the Cu atom can both transfer a large number of electrons (−0.606 e) to SF6 and enhance the ability of Zn atoms to lose electrons, effectively weakening the S-F bond strength of SF6 gas molecules and thus promoting SF6 gas molecule catalysis. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) wave function in the system is mainly distributed around the doped Cu atoms, the energy gap is significantly reduced, and the catalyst reactivity is enhanced.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"408-415"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106360","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}

This study elucidates the insulation failure process of PI under high-frequency electrical stress by employing a combined approach of aging experiments and reactive force field molecular dynamics (ReaxFF MDs) simulation, with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) used. The investigation reveals that the primary causes of PI insulation failure are partial discharge (PD) erosion and electrothermal aging. PD progressively erodes the PI surface, with the erosion intensity initially intensifying before diminishing over the material’s lifespan. The synergistic impact of electrothermal stress instigates the fracture of various chemical bonds within PI molecules. These include the C-H and C-N bonds in the imide ring and C-C bonds connecting the imide structure to the benzene ring, leading to the generation of gaseous byproducts like CO and H2 O. Concurrently, the rupture of the C-O–C bond between the benzene ring and the disintegration of the imine ring result in the main chain’s fragmentation. This process leads to the continual degradation and recombination of molecular chains with varying polymerization degrees and a small hydrocarbon product C2 H2 is produced. The influence of electrical stress on PI’s molecular configuration manifests in the alteration of the electric dipole moment and the elongation of polar bonds, notably the C-N bond in the imine ring, which rapidly fractures under electric heating stress.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 1","pages":"246-253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143106401","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}
