However, the fast switching power converter based interface of dispersed DGs to the distribution network is a potential source of harmonic injection; hence a considerable distortion in the voltage waveforms. With increased DG penetration, such harmonics may become a potential source of high frequency; high dv/dt stresses on the insulation system of vital power system. Additional stresses implies faster degradation rate of insulation system. Understanding such harmonic based stresses will help in designing an improved insulation system to withstand high stresses created by the switching devices. The paper presents the electric field simulation results, of a transformer model winding, which is a representative of a typical distribution class transformer, under various distorted voltage waveforms.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"37 1","pages":"284-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84779573","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}

On the other hand the measurement results and, in the same manner, their identification and interpretation can be different, because this is depending on the measurement or evaluation conditions. Therefore some typical corona basic arrangements representing corona needle-plane, needle-plane with insulating material and needle-sphere are investigated. The measurements are carried out under different measurement conditions especially the selected frequency range of the measuring system. For some effects the reproducibly, the voltage dependence and the changes over time of the PD behaviour are investigated. These results were evaluated using the applied and the updated version of IEC 60270. Furthermore the IEC 60270 and additional publications provide a lot of possible of the post evaluation of the measured PD signals. In this paper the most and most recognized values are compared at the well defined laboratory set ups as defined. Additional these results are compared with the results of the Pulse-Sequence-Analyzing method. The presented results show surprisingly characteristic shapes of the PD pattern, which allow the better classification of the types of PD sources and their identification respectively.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"1 1","pages":"275-279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80714658","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}

Crosslinking will lead to enhance both dimensional stability at elevated temperatures and physical integrity under high electrical stress of the compounds for HV and EHV power cables. Thermal decomposition of organic peroxides from cable compounds in cable fabrication process will retain some of decomposition byproducts within the compounds, which increase dielectric loss and generate voids as cable defects. The productivity for the high quality power cable manufacturing depends on optimization of production rates from extrusion, thermal treatments for crosslinking and cooling, and degassing. In this study, it is investigated about distribution of various types of decomposition byproducts levels in XLPE insulation in high voltage cables under the incomplete crosslinking condition from the continuous vulcanization (CV) process. It is correlated for mechanical and crosslinking properties of the insulation. This can help to design practical byproducts degassing procedure for high quality power cables.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"100 1","pages":"615-619"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79500392","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}

Before the experiments, the PVDF films were dried and thermally annealed. The sub-micrometer films on substrates show clear ferroelectric hysteresis behavior. A remanent polarization of about 60 mC/m2 was detected by means of two independent methods: Non-linear current-voltage characteristics and time-dependent current response after application of voltage steps. The coercive field decreases from 190 to 165 MV/m when the width of triangular bipolar/unipolar electric-field cycles increases from 3 to 300 ms. Quasi-static pyroelectricity increases from 14 to 18 μC/(m2 K) between -20 and +40 °C. X-ray diffraction prove that the ionic liquid enhances the crystallinity. The dipolar interaction between anions of the ionic liquid and CH2 groups in the PVDF chain during spin coating is considered to facilitate the formation of the β phase.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"43 1","pages":"710-713"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78931211","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}

Contamination accumulation on the insulators is the precondition of the pollution flashover, while the contamination accumulation characteristics of the insulators depend on the motion characteristics of the dust particles moving around the insulators in service to a great degree. This paper researched the combined effect of the electric field, the air fluid field and the gravitational field on the dust particles' motion by means of experiments and numerical calculation. The distribution of the electric field and the electric potential around an actual insulator were calculated. The results indicate that the polarization force is very weak. Once the particles are charged, the electric field force acts and can drive the particles to move along the electric field lines. When there is a strong wind, the steady-state drag force is dominant and the particles move with the wind. These results can better explain the contamination accumulation characteristics of the insulators, and some measures are suggested to reduce the contamination accumulation.","PeriodicalId":6317,"journal":{"name":"2011 Annual Report Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena","volume":"94 1","pages":"373-376"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77042444","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}
