By comparing the effects of different nano-SiO2 contents and the effects of the same content of micro-SiO2 and nano-SiO2, the results showed that the glass transition temperature, electrical conductivity and thermal stimulation current all exhibited novel trends. After the introduction of nano-silica, the glass transition temperature decreased, which indicated that the molecular chain was easier to move, and consequently the charge carriers were easier to migrate, leading a higher electrical conductivity. On the contrary, the effects of micro-SiO2 were not obvious.","PeriodicalId":6763,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application (ICHVE)","volume":"200 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80110464","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}

An autonomous diagnosis method, which is based on the Faster RCNN network and the Mean-Shift algorithm, is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the Faster RCNN network is trained to implement the autonomous identification and positioning of the objects to be diagnosed in images (cable terminations and grounding boxes are included in this paper). Then, the Mean-Shift algorithm is used for image segmentation to rapidly and accurately extract the area of overheating. This is achieved via comparing key regions of the three phase accessories. Next the temperature related characteristic parameters of the overheating region are calculated, and the diagnosis results are obtained in accordance with the relevant cable condition assessment criteria. The proposed method has been applied to test against actual infrared images, and results show that the cable accessories and their overheating regions can be located at different shooting angles and under various background conditions.

The insulation defects of the cable may lead to safety problems and economic losses. Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) technology can be used to show the distribution of dielectric constants of insulation layer, and thus detecting insulation defects of XLPE cable and its accessories. Because of the ‘soft field’ effect in the sensitivity field of ECT system, it is necessary to optimize the structure and parameters of capacitive sensor for more accurate images. In this paper, the model of 8-electrode ECT sensor is constructed, and its geometrical parameters, including electrode thickness, electrode angle and the ratio between the radius of the shielding and the cable, are optimized by orthogonal experiment design. The signal strength and the uniformity of sensitivity field distribution are taken as the evaluation indicators. The simulation results show that the setting of the shield has a great influence on the indicators. When the shielding layer is too close to the cable, the uniformity of the sensitivity field is influenced. However, the influence of electrode thickness and angle on signal strength and sensitivity field uniformity is relatively small.","PeriodicalId":6763,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application (ICHVE)","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82269018","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}

However, further analysis of discharge characteristics and fault location need to screen and identify discharge pulses from a large number of signals, including interference signals.

The strength of partial discharge and the formation of soil discharge channels are closely related to the magnitude of the critical breakdown field strength. Therefore, how to accurately obtain the variation law of the critical breakdown field strength of typical soil is the key to realize the safe operation of the grounding device and the cable in the ground and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. In this paper, a simulation experiment of soil impact characteristics is used to study the variation law of typical soil critical breakdown field strength with soil properties. X-ray transmission imaging technology is used to obtain the morphology of the discharge channel, and its non-intrusive observation method will not disturb the discharge channel itself, making the measurement more accurate. This paper first selects a variety of typical soils to study the influence of soil moisture, salt content, compactness and other factors on the discharge channel morphology, and then studies the calculation method of the critical breakdown field strength of the soil under different discharge channel morphologies. And further explore the reasons for the influence of typical soil media factors on the critical breakdown field strength. The experimental results show that under the same conditions, the relationship between the critical breakdown field strength values of different soils is: Ec of sandy soil <Ec of loam soil <Ec of pastoral soil; It is precisely because of the different reasons that different factors of the soil medium affect the critical breakdown field strength, the content of water and air inside the soil and the conductivity of the soil are different, so that the variation law of the critical breakdown field strength is different.","PeriodicalId":6763,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application (ICHVE)","volume":"67 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76035253","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}

Infrared (IR) was used to characterize surface chemical structure of specimens before and after ozone treatment. IR results show that oxygen atoms (O) are introduced into LDPE surface layer and carbonyl groups (C=O) are formed after surface treatment. Surface conductivity of specimens was tested and the results show surface conductivity increases with the extending of surface ozone treatment time. For untreated LDPE, surface conductivity is 4.39× 10−18S, and it increases to 1.01×10−15Swhen LDPE specimen is surface treated for 6h with ozone. Surface potential decay (SPD) was used to characterize surface trap distribution of specimens, and the results show surface potential decays faster and faster with the increasing treatment time, which is resulted from the shallower trap centers introduced into LDPE surface layers after ozone treatment. Surface flashover performance measurement results show that surface flashover voltage of LDPE specimens is improved by surface ozone treatment, and the optimum value of flashover voltage for treated 4 hours specimen is improved by 25.59% compared with untreated LDPE. Finally, the mechanism of surface flashover is discussed and it concludes that the change of surface chemical structure resulting from surface ozone treatment leads to the variation of surface trap distribution and surface conductivity which influences the surface charge accumulation properties, and then improves surface flashover performance of LDPE in vacuum.","PeriodicalId":6763,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application (ICHVE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87811744","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}
