Initially, three types of PD detection units are integrated into the flange to achieve a relatively uniform detection distance. Also, the synchronous PD detection platform is constructed based on intelligent sensor units, achieving extraction of sequential PD impulse information. 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}

The physicochemical and electrical performance of the silicone rubber are tested under different hygrothermal conditions. The results show that the surface structure of the material is increasingly destroyed and even pulverized as humidity or temperature rises. Compared with the original samples, the static contact angle of the aged samples decreases significantly, and the static contact angle of the aged samples that exhibit pulverization expands compared with those unpulverized samples due to the large amount of small-molecule siloxanes contained in the pulverized layer. The main chain and side chain of the aged silicone rubber are damaged to varying degrees. The absorption peaks of Si–O–Si and Si–CH3 bonds in the aged samples that exhibit pulverization are higher than those of the samples that do not exhibit pulverization since the siloxane also contains Si–O–Si and Si–CH3 bonds. The aged material combines with a large number of polar groups, leading to an enhanced polarity of the silicone rubber molecules and more dielectric loss of the material. The surface resistivity and volume resistivity of the aged samples are 6.5% and 70.3% of those of the original samples at 80 °C and 95%, respectively, showing that corona discharge mainly damages the surface, rather than the interior of the material.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 2","pages":"992-1000"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143761512","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 existing studies focused on the aging assessment of insulating paper at uniform aging conditions based on furfural, and there is a lack of reports on the insulating paper aging estimation in the hotspot region. Given this, an improved beluga whale optimization algorithm optimized multilayer perceptron (IBWO-MLP) model is proposed to predict the degree of polymerization (DP) value in the hotspot region. First, nonuniform aging experiments are conducted on oil-paper insulations. Furthermore, the DP values of insulating paper in the hotspot region were predicted by the IBWO-MLP model, and the accuracy of the prediction models was compared. Moreover, based on the enhanced data after the prediction of the IBWO-MLP model, a DP estimate model for insulating paper in the hotspot region applicable to field conditions was established. Eventually, the reliability of the constructed model was verified by data from the field transformer. In this regard, this study aims to contribute a novel approach to the aging estimation of the insulating paper in the hotspot region, which is supportive of the diagnosis of insulation failures.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 3","pages":"1660-1667"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144205863","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}

Their inferior lightning impulse breakdown voltage (LIBDV), however, hinders the development of high-voltage, large-capacity, eco-friendly transformers. This study compares the negative LIBDV of 25#mineral oil (25#MO) and self-developed pentaerythritol synthetic ester oil (SEO-KA). Subsequently, employing density functional, time-dependent density functional, and wave function analysis methods, calculations are conducted to propose the influence mechanisms of frontier orbitals and traps, ionization and electron affinity processes, excitation processes, discharge active sites, and molecular polarity on LIBDV for both oils. The results indicate that the negative LIBDV of 25#MO is over 1.4 times that of SEO-KA under tested oil gaps. SEO-KA exhibits greater inherent dipole moment, induced dipole moment, and molecular polarity than 25#MO. The frontier orbitals are easily movable, and the trap energy level distribution is denser. The uneven distribution of surface electrostatic potential triggers more discharge active sites. Fortunately, SEO-KA can maintain negative electron affinity and local excitation types, demonstrating similar electronic reactivity and molecular stability to 25#MO. Future work can focus on improving the ionization energy of SEO-KA to enhance its LIBDV.

Silicone gel is prevailing for encapsulation with excellent electrical properties. Subjected to direct current (dc) voltages, space charge accumulation will cause local electric field distortion and partial discharge. Thus, it is the intention of this article to study space charge accumulation and breakdown characteristics of silicone gel at high temperatures. Based on the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method, experiments are carried out to obtain space charge distribution at high temperatures and homocharge is found to accumulate in silicone gel. The electrical performance is also characterized and analyzed by systematic dc tests. Temperature plays an important role in affecting insulation properties of silicone gel, causing a decrease in breakdown field and an enhancement in dc conductivity. Analyses show that the decrease in dc breakdown strength of silicone gel attributes to two reasons. For one thing, the intensification of charge injection leads to an overall increase in distortion rate of partial electric field. For another, the shallow traps are dominant in silicone gel and the molecular chains show high activity on the freedom volume as temperature rises. The measurement and analysis will provide references for further application of silicone gel in power module encapsulation.","PeriodicalId":13247,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation","volume":"32 3","pages":"1387-1394"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144213648","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}

To address this issue, the FDS of oil-paper insulation samples is measured under various temperature gradients. Subsequently, logarithmic-derivative spectroscopy (LDS) is obtained from the measured FDS, and an improved equation is proposed to fit the LDS and extract four polarization parameters related to the oil-paper insulation’s aging state.
