Unified modelling based on experimental validation of near-DC noise in amplifiers is a long-standing open problem. This article develops a model for low-frequency noise by deriving new bounds for carrier capturing and releasing. According to the proposed model, a measurement system is suggested that operates in a wide frequency range and even at very low frequencies. The system is noise-tolerant, since the amplifier is selected based on acceptable noise levels. Among the advantages are the independence from specialized structural noise models for each component and the low cost of the measurement system. The evaluation results show that the proposed method leads to a promising improvement in the low-frequency noise measuring and is superior to conventional models in the normalized root mean square error indicator.

A supplementary research paradigm is here put forward for the interest of a greater understanding of corona-assisted unipolar ion flows in atmospheric air. In this respect, the auto-pulsing mode of glow-type coronas in air is modelled as a source of momentum whose conservation is substantially preserved across the external transfer region. The tangible prospect of charge-bearing flows in the form of a filamentary convection, with negligible drifting component, in buffer gas is put forward in relation to spontaneous symmetry-breaking instability. This setting bears some resemblance to the self-organised collective behaviour of self-propelled (active) particles. The value of this scheme gains strength precisely in relation to the strong inhomogeneity of the electric field surrounding electrodes prone to go into corona.

Low-voltage varistors, with maximum operating voltages ranging from 130 to 750 V, are adopted here in the OrCAD/PSpice environment to analyze the influence of varistor coupling on the output characteristic of the combination wave generator (CWG) in test levels of 0 to 20 kV. Simulation results show that, owing to varistor coupling, the reverse oscillation phenomena will arise in the open-circuit voltages (OCVs). Also owing to varistor coupling, compared with those generated directly by a CWG, the peak value, the front time, and the tail time for both OCV and short-circuit current will decrease, whereas the virtual impedance will increase. Moreover, the lower the test level, or the higher the maximum operating voltage of the varistor, the more serious this effect. Experiments have also been conducted here, and our simulation results are found to match the experimental ones well. It seems that, compared with the conventional capacitor coupling, the range of the voltage of power supply networks and the levels of combination wave test by varistor coupling have to be limited to a great extent.

Based on the multiscale permutation entropy (MPE), the multiscale equalization is firstly used to replace the coarse grained process, and the value of mean is extended to variance to avoid the dynamic mutation of the original signal. Finally, the parameters of LSSVM are optimized by the grey wolf optimization algorithm to achieve accurate identification of fault modes.

Compared with the traditional oil-impregnated AC transformer, the main insulation of the converter transformer bears more complex electric field aging stress during long-term operation. The influence of the proportion of AC components in the AC/DC composite electric field on insulation aging is still unclear. Therefore, a combined aging test platform of composite electric field and thermal was built in the laboratory, and accelerated aging tests of oil-paper insulation under different AC/DC ratios were carried out. Through the time-frequency domain dielectric response characteristics of oil-paper insulation, the quantitative relationship between the time-frequency domain dielectric response characteristic parameters and AC proportional coefficient in different aging stages was obtained. The results show that the influence of the AC component on the aging of the oil-impregnated pressboard is more prominent. The maximum relaxation polarization time and the maximum exponential coefficient of polarization–depolarization current (PDC) can effectively characterize the aging of oil-paper insulation. Meanwhile, to accurately assess the insulation state of the converter transformer, this paper established the equivalent dielectric relaxation model for the main insulation structure. A quantitative assessment method for moisture content and aging of oil-paper insulation based on time-frequency domain dielectric response was proposed. The influence of transformer oil conductivity, test temperature, and main insulation structure was eliminated.
