The polluted insulator is modelled using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software. Two cases of pollution condition and one case of unpolluted insulator condition were investigated. When voltage was applied to the insulators, it was observed that higher power dissipation characterized the narrow edges of the insulator as compared to other regions in both cases of pollution. Similarly, high electric field stress was experienced in these regions, confirming that the power dissipated in these parts is directly proportional to the electric field strength. Due to these conditions, these areas become prone to dry band formation and partial discharges (PD). This is not the same for the unpolluted insulator were low power dissipation was observed; implying that the conditions experienced were caused by the pollution. Results from this work are expected to be applied in asset management of high voltage (HV) equipment, in detection of PD and predictive maintenance activities, thereby mitigating insulator flashover resulting from pollution and increase the reliability of power transmission systems and railway catenary networks.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"168 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":"124680605","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}

Compared with well-established PD test technologies at sinusoidal voltages, more issues should be considered when PD detection are carried out using repetitive impulsive voltages, because PD pulses coming from the samples and the disturbance coming from impulsive voltage generator often have similar features in both time and frequency domains. Among all PD measurement methods, ultra-high frequency (UHF) technologies are recommended to be used under repetitive impulsive voltage conditions because the UHF sensors with appropriate bandwidth can receive PD energy in high frequency range with high signal to noise ratio (SNR). However, when performing PD tests using UHF method at impulsive voltages, the test sensitivity depends largely on the performance of the antenna in frequency domain. This paper, therefore, aims to present a design of a novel Archimedes Spiral Antenna (ASA) specially used for PD tests at impulsive voltages. Through the electromagnetic simulation, the optimized parameters of the antenna are selected and discussed. The PD tests at repetitive impulsive voltages show that the designed ASA can receive PD signals with high SNR and can be used for partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) tests on insulation systems/models according to the IEC 60034-18-41 and IEC 60034-27-5.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"19 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":"122009029","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}

It is shown that at lower field strengths only charges of one polarity prevail at the interface while at higher field strengths charges of opposite polarity evolve. Furthermore, it was found that with rising field strengths, charge moves from the interface to the enclosing electrodes leading to a decreasing overall amount of charge at the interface. By analyzing the time dependent charge decay it was shown that decay constants significantly differ at the interface and at the enclosing electrodes.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"8 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":"125456716","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 the partial discharge pattern recognition, the feature extraction will directly affect the ability of the classifier to identify the fault type. So, it is a key problem to extract features that can reflect the essential characteristics of faults by adopting appropriate feature reduction methods currently. Therefore, in this paper, the feature reduction method is deeply studied, and the application results of several representative methods in partial discharge feature reduction are compared. Based on a large number of existing partial discharge test data, firstly, the fingerprint features of the partial discharge are extracted to construct the feature space. Then, three representative feature reduction methods are used to optimize and reduce dimension of feature space, including kernel principal component analysis(KPCA), rough set theory(RST) and correlation coefficient matrix respectively. Finally, the feature space with reduced dimensionality is taken as the input of the back propagation (BP) neural network. The advantages and disadvantages of the three different Feature reduction methods are comprehensively considered in terms of convergence time and recognition accuracy. This paper compares the commonly used feature reduction methods in the process of feature extraction, and combines it with BP neural network for partial discharge pattern recognition. It can be concluded from this paper that these methods can be applied to the feature reduction of the feature space of the partial discharge. Applying these methods to existing experimental data, we can find that the combination of feature space reduction method and BP neural network can significantly improve the accuracy of partial discharge pattern recognition.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"1 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":"128421476","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}

A RR tape is little load to the environment and indicates highly thermal conductivity. On the other hand, conventional impregnation process can be used for a VPI tape. Generally, as a stator coil of a generator, a two-layered mica tape comprising a mica-layer and a glass fabric-layer is used. In order to satisfy high thermal conductivity, superior insulation properties and impregnation properties simultaneously, we designed the composition of a mica-layer and a glass fabric-layer. Both types of developed mica tapes show 2.2 times higher thermal conductivity and have a thermal resistance of 54-55%, comparing with the conventional ones. Furthermore, they showed superior insulation properties at practical use electrical intensity. In addition, impregnation properties for VPI tape is equivalent to conventional ones. Thus the developed highly thermal conductive mica insulating tape may be applicable to the high efficiency of the large-capacity thermal generators, contributing the reduction of the environmental load.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"23 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":"133992090","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}

Nevertheless, the existing simulation analysis of electric power equipment's lightning withstand performance almost doesn't consider the effects of some materials, like varistors, whose permittivity vary with frequency. Moreover, in the IEC, the lightning impulse withstand voltage test of zinc oxide arrester's polymeric house is without the varistors or with transformer oil instead of the varistors. In this paper, the variation of permittivity with frequency is considered, and material parameters for calculation are acquired from experiments. By using software MATLAB and Fourier analysis, the lightning wave is resolved into a sum of different frequency waveforms. The transient electric field (TEF) distribution of a zinc oxide arrester under lightning impulse voltage is computed with finite element software COMSOL. Other two same models without considering the variation of permittivity and with transformer oil instead of the varistors are computed separately. The three results are compared and the relative increase of maximum electric field strength can be as high as 20.18%. Therefore, this method for calculating the transient electric field (TEF) distribution of the zinc oxide arrester is more accurate and more meaningful, and can be promoted to other electric power equipment.","PeriodicalId":377544,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"44 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":"132587541","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}
