  1. 1. Cellulose-based electrical insulation materials : Dielectric and mechanical properties

    Author : Rebecca Hollertz; Lars Wågberg; Markus Biesalski; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose; dielectric materials; electrical insulation; nanocellulose; nanoparticles; streamer; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The reliability of the generation and distribution of electricity is highly dependent on electrical insulation and is essential for the prosperity of our society and a ubiquitous part of our everyday life. The present study shows how some important material properties affect the electrical properties of cellulose-based electrical insulation systems which are used together with mineral oil in high-voltage transformers.

  2. 2. Computational framework for studying charge transport in high-voltage gas-insulated systems

    Author : Shailendra Singh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; drift diffusion equation; gaseous dielectrics; high voltage; gas discharge; low temperature plasma; streamer propagation;

    Abstract : Increasing demands in electric energy stimulates a shift in functional requirements to power distribution networks and pushes equipment manufacturers to develop highly optimized products where high rated parameters (e.g., energy, voltages) are combined with reduced geometrical dimensions of components.

  3. 3. Computational framework for studying charge transport in high-voltage gas-insulated systems

    Author : Shailendra Singh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; barrier discharge; low temperature plasma; drift diffusion equation; gaseous dielectrics; gas discharge; streamer propagation; high voltage;

    Abstract : Electrical switchgear industry dealing with transmission and distribution of power is strongly affected by the changing dynamics of climate control. Their main contribution to the global warming is through SF6 gas, having a GWP of 23500 (times of CO2). SF6 plays an important role in providing electrical insulation for these high voltage systems.

  4. 4. Characteristics of streamer discharges in air and along insulating surfaces

    Author : Lan Gao; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik; Physics; Fysik; Electricity; Esp The Study Of Transients and Discharges; elektricitetslära; ssk studiet av transienter och urladdning;

    Abstract : Power quality is dependent on the dielectric properties of the insulators used throughout the power generation and power transmission utilities. Knowledge of the pre-discharge stage associated with the electrical breakdown across outdoor insulators is essential if one is to improve the performance of these insulators under various electrical and environmentalconditions.
