Design of a High Voltage Arbitrary Wave Shape Generator for Dielectric Testing

The integration of wind and solar energy through power electronic converters has introduced new challenges to High Voltage (HV) equipment in the electrical power system. Switchgear, cables, and transformers are now subject to higher dV/dt stress and complex wave shapes due to solid-state switching. This poses a threat to the reliability of the...

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...
