However, previously published approaches cannot be relied on to model the phenomenon that higher number of failures of cable joint has been observed during summer time by Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN). Seasonal temperature higher than $20^{circ}mathrm{C}$ resulted in increasing failure rate of cable joints, especially for the joints which connect PILC cables. When the ambient temperature was lower than $15^{circ}mathrm{C}$, the failure rate of cable joint became smaller. This paper aims to improve the standard Weibull model to allow predictions of number of failures with consideration of seasonal temperature. The thermal stress caused due to seasonal temperature is treated as a variable to correct the failure rate obtained via standard Weibull analysis, as the number of failures has been heavily related to seasonal temperature. With the improved model, failure prediction can forecast higher number of failures during the summer season.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"18 1","pages":"609-612"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73628225","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}

A fumed nano-silica was modified with long oligomeric chains of a liquid rubber, connected via urethane bonds to the silica surface increasing the compatibility with the matrix. Additionally, a secondary amino-silane was grafted in order to alter the charge trapping properties of the silica. The long oligomeric chains provide good dispersibility of the nanosilica in polypropylene/poly(ethylene-co-octene) (PP/POE) blends, while the functional urethane group along with a secondary amino-silane affected the charge trapping properties of the nano-composites by reducing the charge traps density and simultaneously increasing their depth. Scanning Electron Microscopy along with Differential Scanning Calorimetry revealed that the silica is preferably located in the PP phase, most likely due to its lower viscosity in comparison to POE. The silica particles exhibit a nucleating effect visible in a noticeable increase of the crystallization temperature of the PP phase, especially when the silica surface treatment is performed.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"87 1","pages":"213-216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84008448","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}

The reaction is recombined to form gases such as CO, CO2, and H2. Because in the study of inverted oil-immersed current transformers, the gas generated by the head due to fault can only be detected by chromatographic analysis of the oil sample taken at the bottom of the transformer. Therefore, in order to study the law of gas diffusion from generation to stable diffusion in insulating oil, the gas diffusion distribution rule of 65kV inverted oil-immersed current transformer model was established by COMSOL simulation platform, and finite element analysis method, Multiphysics coupling analysis method were used to build the physical model and at the same time, to verify the experiment. The experimental and simulation results are mutually verified, and the diffusion distribution law of gas in insulating oil is obtained. The calculation model of gas diffusion distribution of current transformer is established, which provides a new idea for the maintenance of related equipment.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"30 1","pages":"724-727"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77852649","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}

This paper presents an attempt to clarify the effect of agglomerate size on two important insulation properties of epoxy/TiO2 nanocomposite (NC). One is intrinsic AC breakdown strength and the other is long-term partial discharge lifetime. We used a centrifugation technique to control the maximum size of the agglomerates in the range from 5 μm down to 0.05 μm in each sample. As the results, AC intrinsic breakdown strength was increased with decreasing the maximum agglomerate size and became even higher than the neat epoxy resin when the maximum size is less than around 0.05um. On the other hand, partial discharge lifetime decreased with decreasing the maximum agglomerate size. It should be noted that the PD lifetime distinctively decreased when the agglomerate size is less than around 0.2 um indicating the existence of a critical agglomerate size which contribute to the suppression of partial discharge development resulting in the extension of the partial discharge lifetime.","PeriodicalId":6795,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD)","volume":"24 1","pages":"253-256"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82435287","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}

Indeed, KPFM measurements permit to probe space charge density with a sub micrometric resolution. Results presented here emphasize that electrons and holes are injected and trapped close to cathode and anode, respectively. The charge clouds remain stacked to the interface $(2-3 mu mathrm{m})$. Moreover, the amount of injected charges increases with the applied bias.
