Defect Identification through Partial Discharge Analysis on HVDC: Partial Discharge Fingerprinting

The electricity grid spanning hundreds of thousands of kms is one of the most complex man-made network built in human history. Today, after a century of growth, progress and innovation, the electricity grid is in the process of undergoing another landmark shift in its operation. The introduction of renewable energy sources, especially, offshore...

Measurement of key dielectric properties for surface PD model under HVDC

The discharge over dielectric interfaces popularly known as surface discharge is a very common defect type that is associated with its respective discharge pattern under AC voltages. However, the same designs behave differently under DC voltages leading up to erratic PD behavior. To understand the process of surface discharge an equivalent...
