Electrical treeing is one of the most common pre-breakdown degradation mechanisms in polymeric insulating materials. Addition of appropriate quantities of nanoparticles to bulk polymers has been reported to hinder tree progression. A clear understanding of the electrical tree growth mechanism in nanodielectrics would help in their deployment as reliable insulating materials for high voltage apparatus. In the current work, a numerical model based on the Weismann-Zeller model is adapted for application to nanocomposites. The model is used to computationally study the effect of the inclusion of nanoparticles, including the effect of their size and material permittivity.

This paper presents an analysis of acoustic pressure wave distribution in a power transformer due to partial discharge (PD) using the finite-element-method (FEM) based software COMSOL Multiphysics. The acoustic PD is simulated at four different locations of the transformer in the core, in the low voltage (LV) winding, in the high voltage (HV) winding and in the oil duct, respectively. The acoustic pressure wave generated by the PD is investigated in the transient state. Results suggest that the acoustic pressure wave propagation inside the transformer depends on the PD induced location. Moreover, a more significant acoustic pressure gradient is perceived in the region with a higher speed of sound.

With increased voltage and faster switch rise time, the major issues faced while designing insulation systems for inverter-fed rotating machines is how to measure PD correctly and evaluate PDIV-RPDIV in type and qualification tests for Type I insulation. The current PD measurement techniques as per IEC 60034-27-5 involve the use of high pass filters to suppress the switching disturbance and retain the PD. This approach, however, may be not effective for fast risetime and high-amplitude voltages, where the disturbance spectrum spreads out in the higher frequency range and can overlap with the PD spectrum, rendering any frequency domain approach poorly effective. Therefore, new techniques for separation of PD from voltage switching disturbance must be investigated. This paper presents a time-domain approach for PD measurement under fast impulses and high voltage values. Results show that this approach has several advantages over the conventional one, and it can be used alone or in combination with filtering techniques.

Power system networks mainly use porcelain disc insulators for insulating live conductor from supporting structure. Insulators, used in power system network are generally employed for open-environment applications. Outdoor porcelain insulator discs get easily contaminated due to different types of pollutants such as salt, kaolin, heavy rain, fog, humidity. Further, these pollutants provide path for leakage current to flow along the surface of the insulator. This leakage current magnitude increases with increase in contamination and humidity. Therefore, identification of contamination level for porcelain insulator disc is necessary for uninterrupted and smooth power system operation. Hence, in the present work, a methodology is proposed to estimate the levels of contaminations using leakage current measured from an 11kV porcelain disc insulator (simulating different contamination levels). Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) has been applied on the measured leakage current profiles to provide meaningful information about contamination deposited on insulator surface.

One of the major challenges in power transmission is the losses incurred during transmitting power from the isolated power generation source to substation. Transmission through High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) is an economically reliable alternative and a promising solution to minimize losses over long distance transmission. The aim of our work is to replace the conventionally used cross linked poly ethylene (thermo set material) by an alternative thermoplastic material in order to increase the life of the cable. Thermoplastic materials are highly desirable for HVDC cable insulation because of its recyclability and absence of bye products. In this work the dielectric properties of the isotactic polypropylene (iPP) is improved by introduction of inorganic nanoparticles. Investigation is done on the break down strength of the iPP/nano composites thin film with different weight percentage for HVAC and HVDC applications. A comprehensive analysis of iPP/nano composites its suitability in HVDC cable insulation application.

New nanostructured insulating materials are investigated, within the European project GRIDABLE, to be used for DC cable and capacitors. Besides electrical, thermal and mechanical properties, and life behavior, work is being done to evaluate their capability to endure highly stressing conditions as those cause by the inception of partial discharges, PD. This paper, in particular, analyzes what happens during energization of a DC cable or capacitors, when voltage goes from zero to the nominal value in a few seconds, while the internal electrical field takes longer time to reach the DC steady state configuration. During an energization transient, indeed, electrical field in insulation, and insulation defects (as cavities), is driven by permittivity, not conductivity as in steady state. Hence, PD might occur with high repetition rate, which would not occur, or at much lower repetition rate, in steady state. The way to evaluate the time constant of the transient, that is, through charging current measurement, is described and successfully fitted to the results of PD measurements performed on two types of polypropylene, PP: neat and nanostructured, and a crosslinked polyethylene, XLPE, having significantly different electrical characteristics.

Under operation, insulating materials undergo ageing due to multiple stresses such as electrical, thermal, mechanical etc. Due to ageing life expectancy of the electrical equipment is reduced. In this work, life and ageing of XLPE cable insulation is studied under electro-thermal stress considering the concept of free energy barrier. Due to applied stresses, ageing of insulation occurs and thereby reduces the free energy barrier gap. The change in free energy barrier due to ageing is estimated considering a phenomenological linear model. The estimated life of XLPE insulation is comapred with DC-DMM model. Further the correlation between applied stress and free energy barrier is studied. It is observed that the estimated lifetime of XLPE matches fairly well with DC-DMM model. The free energy barrier is seen to change with applied electro-thermal stress. The local electric field or accumulated charge density increases with decrease in barrier gap.

Any defect in the form of an axial crack or a circular defect in the propeller induces additional component in the centrifugal force and thereby producing an additional vibration characteristic in the propeller. The objective of this paper is to determine the translation of vibration to the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) which drives the propeller and in turn a triaxial accelerometer is used to detect the faults. A finite element based model is created consisting of the propeller, shaft, bearings and PMSM. The FEA modal analysis is performed to determine the natural frequency of the system and a harmonic response analysis is performed to determine the vibration harmonics at the natural frequency of the system. A comparison of the natural frequencies of the healthy system and the defective systems are obtained along with vibration characteristics for the different profiles and the load dependency of the vibration characteristics. It is observed that the x-axis and z-axis vibrations increase significantly for the defective propeller and it increases with load.

One of the most strenuous task is to locate the position of fault in power cables. There are many techniques which are available to locate faults, but each one have its own advantages and disadvantages. Contrary to the conventional reflectometry based methods, this paper explores a technique based on Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA) in which reflection of the wave are not required. Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA) are mostly used in transformer for checking the healthiness of its winding and to locate different faults and defects in it. In this paper using the same concept of SFRA in transformer, detection and location of fault in a cable has been investigated using PSpice simulation.
