Space charges accumulate in oil-paper during HVDC converter transformers operation, which is often responsible of insulation failure. To clarify the dynamic properties of space charge, this paper processed the oil-paper with the electrical-thermal aging test at 90 °C and7.6 kV pulsating DC and AC voltage respectively. The behaviors of space charges in aged oil-paper samples were investigated by pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) technique. It is concluded that the DC component of pulsating DC voltage facilitates the negative charges injection from the cathode, which leads to the accumulation of hetero-charges near anode. Moreover, deep traps excited by the DC component of the pulsating DC aging voltage slightly outnumber by the AC aging voltage, and also the probability of space charges falling into deep traps is bigger when the oil-paper suffers the pulsating DC voltage.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129282334","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}

This implies involving dielectric response analysis and PD measurements respectively. The dielectric integrity of chosen samples are ascertained through frequency dependent dielectric properties. The PD measurements include recording the PD level or apparent charge level (QIEC) of chosen samples and analyzing their respective phase resolved PD pattern.

The anti-icing behavior of the as-prepared SHP surface was investigated by an artificial climate chamber. Results showed the as-prepared SHP surface can effectively mitigate the freezing process and reduce ice accumulation. Only isolated ice points formed on the SHP surface. Due to the micro/nano binary structures of the SHP surface, a large amount of air was trapped in the textures, which contributed to the superhydrophobicity.
