However, the role of nanoparticles on the thermal aging properties of cable insulation is still unclear. In this paper, the influence of thermo-oxidative aging on the space charge characteristics and physicochemical properties of pure XLPE and XLPE/Al2O3 nanocomposites were comparatively investigated. Space charge accumulation characteristics, crystallinity and carbonyl index were tested by pulse electroacoustic method (PEA) system, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), respectively. It was found that appropriate number of nanoparticles can improve the crystallinity of XLPE, reduce the low-molecular impurities containing carbonyl groups generated and also has an excellent effect on limiting the injection of homo-charges during the aging process. Compared with pure XLPE, XLPE/Al2O3-A with appropriate number of nanoparticles still has excellent space charge distribution and physicochemical properties when aged for 672 hours. The dispersive interface region between nanoparticles and matrix may be the reason for the anti-thermal aging ability exhibited by the nanocomposites.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"395-398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75500092","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 date, the role of PD in the ageing and definitive fault of HVDC cables has been poorly investigated. This is mainly due to some practical difficulties in the performing of the measurements. Compared to the PDs occurring under AC stress, the higher inception voltages and the lower repetition rates, obtainable under DC voltage, make the exclusion of the measurement noise more difficult. This paper is focused on the study of the characteristics of the PDs occurring in an artificial defect located in proximity of the outer dielectric’ surface of an HVDC model cable. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the PD characteristics during load transients in the proposed experimental setup. The investigation on the PD activity in an artificially defected HVDC model cable has been experimentally performed on a segment of cable 6 m long jointed and heated up by means of a current transformer. The PD activity has been measured by means of an antenna sensor during all the duration of the experiment. After a period during which no PD are detected, a PD repetition rate increasing over time has been found, attributable to the rising of the electric field intensity in proximity of the outer dielectric surface.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"75 1","pages":"631-634"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73531022","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}

Electron microscope imaging is the main method to detect the dispersion of nano fillers in solid dielectrics, but this method is easily limited by the detection range, so the evaluation of the overall dispersion of materials still needs to be further explored. In this paper, according to the mechanical constitutive relationship in nanocomposite dielectrics, we first theoretically analyzed the feasibility of nonlinear acoustic detection method. Then the samples with different dispersion degree were prepared by adjusting the dispersion factors, and the feasibility of the detection method was verified by scanning electron microscope (SEM), broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and nonlinear ultrasonic test results. Finally, we use this method to detect functionally graded materials (FGM), and realize the nonlinear acoustic imaging of FGM, which provides a new way for the dispersion detection of nano materials like nanocomposite dielectric and FGM.","PeriodicalId":6837,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena (CEIDP)","volume":"69 1","pages":"347-351"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86416968","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}
