Partial discharge (PD) is a problem for the high-voltage power equipment. Long-term and intense PD activities can greatly shorten the service life of electrical equipment and endanger the safe operation of the power system. Research on PD has been done to observe its characteristics and reveal the mechanism. Currently, characterization methods for PD behavior mainly include PRPD (phase-resolved partial discharge), pulse shape and pulse sequence analysis, chaotic sequence analysis, and so on.

An artist, musician, and avid outdoorsman, Thomas Andritsch never imagined he would go to university, never mind become an academic. Today, he is both engineer and academic, an active member of DEIS, and someone who “once learned more about Nikola Tesla than any sane person perhaps should.” During a call from his office in sunny Southampton, England, he shared stories about the coffees, conversations, and happenstance that brought him to where he is today.

This issue features three articles, the first of which is Zhou and Chen's article titled “Enhancing High-Temperature Capacitive Energy Storage Performance of Dielectric Polymers via Electrical Conduction Suppression.” It gives an overview of high-temperature capacitive energy storage performance of dielectric polymers. The article not only summarizes the efforts of up-to-date research, but also provides conclusions about primary conduction mechanisms in dielectric polymers under increased temperatures and high electric fields, including hopping conduction, Schottky injection, and Poole-Frenkel emission. Solutions to suppress these mechanisms are suggested with evidence and theoretical analysis supported by literature. The knowledge outlined in this comprehensive article may be of significant interest for electrical engineers working in the field of electrical insulation materials, particularly in insulating polymers of film capacitors.
