This can be enhanced by pollution, damage and raindrops. Within this paper, a superhydrophobic coating was applied to a conductor to examine whether it can reduce the audible noise under a positive DC voltage. Partial discharge was measured to explore the correlation between corona discharge behavior and audible noise. Unlike the noise reduction with using superhydrophobic coating on the HVAC conductor, the coated conductor shows a higher audible noise level than the uncoated conductor under positive DC voltage. The total partial discharge magnitude also has trend similar to the audible noise performance. It is shown that the A-weighted sound pressure level is correlated to the total partial discharge magnitude.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"5 1","pages":"586-589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84609873","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}

Partial discharge (PD) measurement is well-known as one of the most effective technique for defect detection and identification in electrical insulation systems. PD measurement according to IEC standard 60270 is known as the conventional technique, in which PD is quantified in terms of apparent charge. Moreover, non-conventional technique, like UHF detection, can also be used for partial discharge measurement to enhance the signal/noise ratio in GIS. For AC electrical insulating systems both techniques are effectives, widely used and give the same signature of defect. Unfortunately, very little information is available for DC systems, especially regarding the comparison of the defect fingerprint between the two methods. The aim of this paper is to investigate the partial discharge signals recorded with both conventional and UHF methods in DC voltage. The results showed that the defect fingerprints are similar between the conventional measurement and the UHF measurement, regardless the UHF antenna position in the equipment.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"37 1","pages":"607-610"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81404438","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 risk of surface flashover is increasing in many of the latest applications owing to their high voltage rating, high power density, and high dv/dt. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the critical flashover voltage (CFO) for enhanced dielectric robustness. In this study, a novel technique to increase insulator CFO with the incorporation of electret film on dielectric surfaces is proposed. The CFO of insulator with and without the incorporation of electret films is compared experimentally. The electret-based approach increases the CFO by either acting as a potential barrier that impedes surface charge migration or by reducing the local electric field near the triple point.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"37 1","pages":"109-112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80277467","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}

Therefore, new insulation resins with different filler types are investigated in detail to prevent electrical breakdowns and to increase the thermal conductivity of the whole insulation system. In contrast to the development and optimization of new materials, the application technology, process control and testing still remains largely unchanged. As a result, the transfer of the optimized material properties of new insulation resins to the specific component properties is restricted. In the worst case, this leads to an inappropriate processability of the resin and subsequently to the failure of the electrical machine. Furthermore, end-of-line tests only allow a qualification of the final insulation system after impregnation and curing. Thus, defective components can only be identified and discarded or repaired at the end of the process chain, which causes additional costs in production. The aim presented in this work is to identify and measure the dielectric properties of the insulation material along the encapsulation process of a coil structure for WPT systems, to derive information about the overall quality of the insulation system. Therefore, a test setup for qualifying the insulation system capability during the encapsulation process will be elaborated. The results of the in-line measurements are then validated with partial discharge measurements and micrographs of the conductor structure.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"4 1","pages":"167-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88954317","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}

To this end, an insulating material that is proper for this application is vital. In this paper, five kinds of insulating materials are compared, and the one-component room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTVSR) is selected. Through the experiments, the best ratio of low and high viscosity α, ω-dihydroxy polysiloxane silicone rubber is obtained.

It is necessary to study the dielectric properties and their changes during the aging process to improve grid efficiency, stability, reliability. This paper proposes a comprehensive physical model to simulate and illustrate the electrical insulation degradation phenomenon in XLPE insulated medium voltage power cables. The statistical analysis of aging concerning the change in dielectric polarization is conducted to characterize XLPE insulation degradation in a 24 kV power cable. A three-dimensional finite-element analysis (FEA) cable model is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics software to illustrate the aging phenomenon. Six different cases with varying stress effects in the insulation region are evaluated and compared. Namely, the voltages stress on power cables when the progressive change in the electric polarization process in the insulation region takes place for a prolonged period. It also presents the electric polarization variation in the insulation region for different numbers of voids. The results of the study show the impact of the electric stress through the measurement of the polarization index in the insulation region.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"10 1","pages":"133-138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81671275","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}

Therefore, the insulating substrate is required to have high insulating properties at high temperatures. In this research, we focus on epoxy resin to apply them as the substrate, and we especially investigated the space charge accumulation behaviors in them, because they were expected to affect the insulating performance at high temperature under high electric field.
