In this paper, the relative permittivity of TiO2/silicone elastomer composites was measured in the uniaxial stretching experiment assuming the state of use of dielectric elastomer. The relative permittivity of TiO2/silicone elastomer composite was higher than that of unfilled silicone elastomer and also increased with the increase in the volume fraction of TiO2particles. The uniaxial stretching reduced the relative permittivity of the composite. The decreasing ratio of the stretched composites was larger than that of the stretched silicone.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117278233","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}

The widespread use of High voltage dc (HVDC) connections increase the demand of voltage source converters (VSCs) which, as a consequence, has brought about new challenges in the field of partial discharge measurements. In fact, the output voltage waveforms generated by AC/DC modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are affected by a significant harmonic content which influences the Partial Discharges (PDs) activity. For this reason, previous research mainly investigated the PD phenomenon on the AC side of the converter. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the PDs behavior applying a voltage waveform containing ripple at the DC side of the converter. At first, a pure DC voltage has been used to stress the tested specimen and then harmonic content has been added by chancing the number of modules of the simulated AC/DC converter. For the different generated waveforms, measurements of PDs have been carried out and a comparison of the different PDs pattern have been made. The effect on the PDs behavior has been also evaluated for different switching frequencies.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130985819","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 develop a framework for materials design, it is crucial to assess the robustness and versatility of our model. Thus, in this study, carrier transfer properties in benzene doped PE oligomer, which gives implications of that in polystyrene (PS) is investigated. Both the partial density of states of benzene/PE oligomer cluster and the ionization energies of benzene molecules and PE oligomers show that hole localized states at benzene molecules are energetically favorable compared to those at PE oligomers. Indeed computed hole hopping rates from PE oligomers to benzene molecules are larger than those from benzene molecules to PE oligomers. However, since (1) the reorganization energy of hole transfer between PE oligomers (- 900 meV) are larger than those between PE oligomers and benzene molecules (~ 600 meV), and (2) the electronic couplings between PE oligomers are (~ 10meV) smaller than that between PE oligomers and benzene molecules (several tens of meV), hole hopping rates from benzene molecules to PE oligomers are larger than those between PE oligomers. Accordingly, the hole mobility in benzene doped PE oligomer increases with increasing benzene concentration. This is in line with experimental findings that the hole mobility in PS is larger than that in PE. These findings emphasize the necessity of evaluating the microscopic parameters that are relevant to carrier transfer.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127482534","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}

For XLPE insulated cables, the maximum temperature during short circuits should not exceed 250 °C. This temperature must not adversely affect the conductor or the lead sheath. However, the effect of the thermo-mechanical stresses generated on the speed of degradation of the insulation system is of great importance. This paper analyses the influence of short circuit current on the interface between the cable sheath and insulation. Based on the theory of elasticity, a finite element thermomechanical model is proposed of a single core cable, incorporating temperature-dependent properties. The model demonstrates the importance of the mechanical properties of the insulation material, which plays a critical role in understanding the internal thermomechanical stresses within a cable.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114675552","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}

So, we have investigated the discharge phenomena under GFRP and CFRP insulation barriers. In this study, we used a needle-plane short air gap in the discharge chamber. The insulation barrier was placed 2 mm below the brass needle electrode and 5 mm above the plane electrode. Synthetic air (N2 (79%)/O2 (21%)) or room air was injected into the chamber at atmospheric pressure. The steep impulse voltages were repeatedly applied to the needle electrode. As a result, the surface discharge (SD), it developed in both gases on GFRP insulation barrier. However, it didn't develop on CFRP insulation barrier. Regarding the discharges under GFRP insulation barrier (barrier-plane discharges: BPDS), they mainly appeared in its center area at synthetic air. On the other hand, the discharges under CFRP insulation barrier appeared in overall area at both gases.

The local electric field enhancement is the intrinsic reason for the surface discharge. To clarify the relationship between insulator surface flashover and its surface electric field distribution, we manufactured insulator samples with various shapes and embedded electrodes, then studied their flashover voltage under the standard lightning impulse in a vessel filled with 0.2 MPa pure SF6gas. In addition, we simulated the surface electric field distribution of samples by the finite element method, and analyzed the relationships between the maximum and average value of surface electric field strength. As a result, conclusions come as follows. As the size of the embedded electrodes increases, the flashover voltage of wave and concave insulators decreases, while that of the convex shape increases. The total surface electric field is of the greatest impact on the flashover voltage. The tangential component of the surface electric field contributes more than the normal component in the flashover voltage, but the latter could affect the flashover arc direction. In all case, the surface flashover initiation condition in this paper is about 75 kV/(mm·MPa) which is lower than the critical condition of 88.5 kV/(mm·MPa) in the SF6 gas gap.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121465177","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}
