Epoxy-hBN nanocomposites

A study on space charge behavior and effects upon material

The emergence of nano dielectrics for specialized high voltage applications sparked off a variety of research activities, which proved that nano-fillers are capable of improving the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of polymers. This paper primarily investigates th ...

Partial discharge (PD) field tests are widely used for cable assessment or cable commissioning. Usually, these tests are carried out by means of off-line tests where PD pulses are measured with capacitively coupled PD sensors. In off-line single-sided cable measurements, time- ...

Many researchers have reported an improvement of the properties of polymer dielectrics by introducing nanofillers. However, the influence of ambient conditions and sample storage under different conditions are often not taken into account. The epoxy matrix itself is a polar polym ...
In gas insulated switchgear(GIS) SF6 gas is widely in use because it has good electrical insulation and arc interruption capabilities. Due to environmental constraints the desire to use alternative gases is continuously growing. This paper focuses on dry air as an alternative gas ...
The design constraints of gas insulated switchgear(GIS) are changing due to an increasing power demand and decreasing available floor space for substations. Ideally, new GIS should operate at a higher nominal voltage with a minimal or no increase in size. Another ongoing developm ...
Nanocomposites have been known in the field of electrical engineering for more than a decade, albeit there are still uncertainties of how the filler properties influence the properties of the composite material. Filler size, shape, aspect ratio and the surface modification, which ...
The aging of the epoxy-paper insulation of an oil-impregnated transformer was studied through partial discharge analysis. Accelerated electrical aging tests were carried out on samples of transformers windings, with and without paper insulation. Partial discharge (PD) measurement ...
Nanocomposites have been known in the field of electrical engineering for more than a decade, albeit there are still uncertainties of how the filler properties influence the properties of the composite material. Filler size, shape, aspect ratio and the surface modification, which ...
This investigation aims to perform a probabilistic prediction of the lifetime of epoxy resin insulation of transformer windings. To support the prediction, several accelerated electrical aging tests were conducted at different voltage levels on epoxy resin insulated transformer w ...
Abstract The dielectric properties of nanocomposites composed of epoxy resin host and aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) nanofillers have been studied in the frequency domain from 10-2 to 106 Hz at different temperatures. The introduction of the ceramic AlN and BN nano ...
Abstract The improvement of heat conduction in electrical power equipment has become a very important issue. Thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, which are mainly used for their insulating properties, have a relatively low thermal conductivity. One approach to change this is ...
The aim of this article is to investigate the extent of space charge accumulation due to a temperature gradient in comparison with other charge-supply mechanisms, particularly injection from the electrodes. For this purpose, space-charge measurements were carried out on HVDC cabl ...
Failure data together with the length and the ages of mass-insulated power cables the still in service of a Dutch utility are used as input for the statistical analysis. The choice of the appropriate distribution depends on the goodness of fit to the data. The fitted statistical ...
The practical interest of power utilities regarding the maintenance and replacement policy of insulating systems such as cables, switchgear and transformers is often based on experiences knowledge and data from the past. The ages of components in the network are increasing and th ...
The electric field distribution of cable insulation systems under HVDC can be affected significantly at interfaces due to space charge build-up. In this article, the second part of a three-article series, face and space charge accumulation are analyzed first in terms of macroscop ...

This paper deals with the analysis of the effect of temperature gradient applied to polymeric cables on space charge accumulation inside insulation bulk. In particular, experimental measurements on HVDC cable models showed that space charge due to temperature gradient is generall ...
The amount of literature on partial discharge (PD) and partial discharge induced degradation is vast. In the past 10-20 years significant progress has been made on research within partial discharge induced aging of dielectrics. Researchers now agree on the main mechanisms pertain ...
Topics related to space charge phenomenology, particularly the origin of space charge and its interaction with the host insulating polymer, have been widely discussed in recent years. Due to the development of reliable techniques for direct observation of space charge it is now p ...
This paper presents a discussion of the concept of threshold for trapped space charge accumulation in solid dielectrics submitted to a DC field. The starting point is the fact that it is often possible to define a critical field separating an ohmic type of conduction from a nonli ...
