5. 18. Charge Accumulation in Hybrid High Voltage Insulation

   Author : Mats Sjöberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dielectric barrier; charge accumulation; high voltage; dielectric barrier discharge; dielectric coating; hybrid insulation; electric field distribution; discharge modelling; breakdown strength; charge conditioning;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the novel idea of controlling the electric stress or field distribution in a hybrid air - solid-dielectric high voltage insulation by promoting accumulation of surface charges on the internal interfacial layers in the combined (hybrid) dielectric structure. Primarily, applications are expected to be found in high voltage dc systems and as a method to improve the resistance against insulation failure by overvoltages, e. READ MORE

6. 19. The influence of particle properties on cake filtration: Surface structure and surface charge

   Author : Jonas Wetterling; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; surface structure; electrostatic particle interactions; cake filtration; solid-liquid separation; compressible filter cake; local filtration properties;

   Abstract : Solid-liquid separation is often a key process step when biomass is used as a raw material, and an energy efficient way of achieving solid-liquid separation is through cake filtration. However, many biomaterials present challenges when they are filtrated due to the formation of compressible filter cakes. READ MORE

7. 20. Topographical Impact on Space Charge Injection, Accumulation and Breakdown in Polymeric HVDC Cable Interfaces

   Author : Espen Doedens; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; interfaces; XLPE; roughness; cable peelings; polymer surfaces; space charge; field enhancement factor; PEA; DC breakdown; extruded cable; roughness enhanced charge injection; HVDC; charge injection;

   Abstract : Extruded HVDC cable systems feature a variety of interface types, for which physio-chemical properties will depend on the type of application. Such applications can be joints, terminations or the cable itself, all introducing different material combinations and manufacturing methods. READ MORE
