The results revealed that buoyancy is dominant in low electric fields, while high electric fields affect bubbles' rise. Bubbles stretch and oscillate while moving. When the electric field is not strong, the AC field reduces the duration and volume of bubble detachment. Vibration stress on the other side is leading the bubble motion including detachment frequency and migration speed. Under the combination of AC and vibration stresses, the bubble distortion degree aggravates and bubble gathering formation is easy. This research can provide a deeper acumen of the bubble's actions beneath a power transformer under a combination of vibration and electric fields.

However, PD signals are often overwhelmed by interference, resulting in inaccurate detection results. Aiming at this problem, this study proposes a PD detection method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and improved spectral subtraction. First, the test signal is constructed as a Hankel matrix, which is used as a trajectory matrix for the SVD. Next, the singular value mutation point in the feature matrix is set as the threshold for removing the narrowband interference (NBI), and a signal containing only white noise is obtained. Finally, the improved spectral subtraction is used to remove white noise and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The method proposed herein, along with the variational mode decomposition, the empirical mode decomposition, and the improved threshold wavelet method, are applied to the processing of PD signals. Also, the SNR value, waveform similarity coefficient, and mean square error of the denoizing signal of the four algorithms were calculated, considering the noise suppression and feature preservation abilities. The simulation and measurement results show that the SVD-spectral subtraction method has a strong suppression effect on narrow-band interference and white noise.

A high-frequency current transformer, optical recorder, and ozone sensor are used to capture the information released during the PD erosion process. In addition, a 3D optical profilometer is employed to record the erosion profile, from which the erosion depth and the surface roughness can be extracted. Carrier trap distribution is derived from the isothermal surface potential decay measurement. The influences of elastomer type and content on the PD resistance are analyzed. The results show that the resistance is improved with the addition of elastomer, and the blend containing EOC of 20 wt% has the best PD resistance among all samples, which is 61.9% higher than that of the pure PP.

Therefore, it is necessary to be able to quickly and accurately find the optimum locations to mount a number of antenna systems, in a restricted space, whilst considering a number of different and sometimes contradictory antenna performance parameters. Thus, defining the optimum antenna locations is a multi-objective problem (MOP) and lends itself to the use of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA).
