However, conventional detectors suffer from gas consumption, unrepeatable measurement and regular calibration. Based on Lambert Beer's law, this paper put forward near-infrared absorption spectrum method to detect acetylene. Experimental platform is set up in the laboratory, mainly including a tunable laser light source, two adjusted optical fiber collimators, a acetylene gas cell and a built-in InGaAs photodetector (PD). The strongest acetylene gas absorption wavelength of 1530.374 nm is determined. Results have demonstrated that it is possible to get access to dissolved acetylene by measurement of characteristic spectrum in power transformer oil with obvious advantages of time-saving and without consuming the to-be-measured gas.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"1 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":"129231090","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}

Under actual operation conditions, GIS will withstand different kinds of voltages, such as DC, AC and impulse voltages. Under these conditions, there will be charges accumulated on the surface of GIS insulators, which can enhance the local electric field and even affect the flashover. In order to study the surface charge accumulation characteristics of actual GIS disc insulator in SF6 under different voltages, a disc insulator surface charge measurement system based on electrostatic capacitive probe is established in this paper. The surface charge measurement devices are controlled by the designed three-dimensional control mechanism, which can drive the probe to scan the insulator surface in both the circumferential and radial direction with high precision (1mm of radial direction and 1° of circumferential direction). The calibration experimental results shows the high precision and high sensitivity of this system. The charge resolution of the probe for the bevel surface could be up to 0.02106pC/(m2·nV) and the space resolution could be up to 6.3 mm2, the charge resolution of the probe for cambered surface could be up to 0.0303pC/(m2·nV) and the space resolution could be up to 4.4 mm2. The preliminary experimental results of surface charges accumulation on GIS insulator under AC voltage in SF6 which are obtained by designed system ensure the feasibility.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"47 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":"131339407","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}

XLPE is a widely used insulation material for HVDC cables. However, dealing with space charge accumulation in XLPE cables still remains a challenge. New insulating materials offer new possibilities facing these challenges, if their properties are well understood. Two model-cables with equal dimensions but different XLPE insulation are investigated in this study. One material is “conventional” XLPE, which is normally used for AC-cables, while the other is treated to introduce additional functionality into the polymer composition. The cables were exposed to a number of different combinations of applied electric field and isothermal temperature conditions, while space charge measurements on the samples were performed, using the PEA-method. The slight modification of the polymer composition of XLPE leads to considerable changes in space charge development. The modification influences injection, transport and recombination of charges in the sample.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"48 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":"122590883","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 addition, the susceptibility of the model parameters to the isolated sites during the aging period have also been studied. The simulation work is performed on a 2D square grid that is assumed to represent a part of the insulation. The mesh structure is divided using the finite element method. Based on the nature of polyethylene, its structure is semi-crystalline with a spatially varying morphology. Consequently, each bond in the grid is assigned a set of parameter values. One of these parameters is the critical fraction of trapped charges C*, which needs to be reached in order to fail a bond. It is chosen at random values from a range centered on the characteristic value obtained from the experimental results. This indicates that the insulation life at varying parameter C* is lower than its characteristic value.","PeriodicalId":432404,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"28 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":"115152106","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}
