Abstract:
Cross-linked polyethylene is widely used as electrical insulation because of its excellent electrical properties such as low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and also due to its excellent chemical resistance and mechanical flexibility. Nevertheless, the most important reason for failure of high voltage equipment is due to its insulation failure. The electrical properties of an insulator are affected by the presence of cavities within the insulating material, in particular with regard to the electric field and potential distributions. In this paper, the electric field and potential distributions in high voltage cables containing single and multiple cavities are studied. Three different insulating media, namely PE, XLPE, and PVC was modeled. COMSOL software which utilises the finite element method (FEM) was used to carry out the simulation. An 11kV underground cable was modeled in 3D for better observation and analyses of the generated voltage and field distributions. The results show that the electric field is affected by the presence of cavities in the insulation. Furthermore, the field strength and uniformity are also affected by whether cavities are radially or axially aligned, as well as the type of the insulating solid. The effect of insulator type due the presence of cavities was seen most prevalent in PVC followed by PE and then XLPE.

Abstract:
Cables are an integral part of the power transmission and distribution network. As the voltage level increases, amount of insulation used in the cable increases. Therefore a need arises for a material with better insulation characteristics to be used in cables. The dielectric strength of cable insulation depends on many factors such as the existence of filler material in the insulation. In this work, laboratory studies on a new filler material for cable insulation have been conducted. The influence of Silicon dioxide (SiO2) filler on the dielectric and mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable were analyzed. Comparison is made between the result of measurement and the actual value of the pure specimen. From the results, it is shown that the filler material has improved the dielectric and mechanical properties of the cable insulation.

Diagnostic methods for two major cables, PVC and XLPE cables are presented. As a new diagnostic method for the PVC cable insulation, an analysis of the insulation oil sampled from the splices or the end sealing box is proposed. As for diagnostic methods for the XLPE cable insulation, several methods are described to detect water tree deterioration, which is the only major problem with XLPE cables. These methods are classified into off line and live line tests. Especially, newly proposed diagnostic methods are discussed, which can be applied to live line XLPE cables. These are a measuring method of dc current component in ac charging current of cables containing water trees, a method to measure insulation resistance, and a method of detecting electrical tree deterioration in XLPE cable.

Abstract:
PVC is widely used as an electrical insulation for low-voltage indoor wiring and underground cabling. These cables are attacked by contaminants and chemicals present in the soil. The elevated temperatures and pressures inside the soil also adds up to stresses and deteriorates their insulations and sheaths and this eventually goes on damaging the conductors. So their performance in the contaminated service environment should be investigated considering extreme conditions in order to predict and ensure reliable service life. In this research 4 different PVC cable samples (2 core 10 mm2, 4 core 10 mm2, 4 core 120 mm2 and 4 core 240 mm2) were subjected to mechanical (via small punches), thermal, chemical and electrical stress over each core of the cable. Electrical stress was applied with 1 kV AC transformer. These samples were aged for 1000 hours under International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 1000 hours multistress aging conditions. Visual inspection and electrical characterization was done by Breakdown Voltage and Insulation Resistance Test for insulation and sheath at different intervals to investigate early stage degradation and reduction in lifetime. The results were compared with the characterizations already reported in the literature. Physical appearance and chemical degradations were apparent from the visual inspection of end aged samples. Quantitatively the results also indicated the continual decline in the breakdown voltage and insulation resistance over the aging time. Our findings inferred that the depreciation in quality of PVC cables (insulations and sheaths) is likely due to the chemical stresses which also instigates all other stresses

The main types of cable constructions and their operation features are considered. Existing test determination methods of insulation resistance to thermal, mechanical, electrical and environmental conditions are analyzed. Requirements for laboratory equipment and test conditions are given. Evaluation criteria of test results are noted. Experimental evaluation was carried out for change degree in the properties of the main types of electrical insulation materials used currently during the flexible cable production: polyvinyl chloride compound (PVC), rubber, ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), fluoropolymer. Tests were carried out under the influence of high and low temperatures, aggressive environments, ozone, mechanical loads. The main processes that determine the changes in electrophysical, physical and mechanical properties of the studied materials are described. Resistance of EPR, TPE and fluoropolymer insulation to a wide range of temperatures, mechanical loads, diesel fuel and transformer oil are shown. An increased resistance of EPR to ozone was also noted. Rubber and PVC compound did not pass the tests under the influence of low and high temperatures, showed "poor" resistance to aggressive environments, but passed the mechanical stress tests. Recommendations on tests and application of polymer insulation taking into account the specifics of flexible cables working are presented.

Abstract:
A mathematical model of electrified insulated cable was established to calculate temperature of insulating layer. The insulating layer temperature is determined as a function of the current intensity, time, insulation layer thickness, etc. A widely used polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable with sectional area of 4 mm2 was selected as example and its insulating layer temperature was simulated using ANSYS. The simulation revealed the evolution of insulating layer temperature with time, and also along radius after a certain time when the cable was applied with 40A and 60A constant current respectively. The analysis method has practical significance to prevent electrical fire and can be applied to analyze spontaneous combustion accident of insulated cable.

The following results were obtained: dependence of VVGng 4x6 cable lifetime on operating temperature; dependence of AVVG cable lifetime on operating temperature; dependence of AVVG (a) cable lifetime on operating temperature. There are possibilities and conditions under which the use of cables within long-term operation is permissible.

Goal. Development of engineering method for settlement of threshold amplitudes Impk of single-pulse current ip(t) of different temporal shapes for electric wires and cables with polyethylene (PET), polyvinylchloride (PVC) and rubber (R) half-length insulation, used in modern pulsed power engineering, electrical engineering and electronics in their low- and high-current circuits. Methodology. Basis of the theoretical and applied electrical engineering, electrical power engineering, electrophysics bases of technique of high-voltage and large pulsed currents, bases of low- and high-current electronics, measuring technique, electromagnetic compatibility and standardization. Results. Development of engineering method is executed on close calculation determination of threshold amplitudes Impk of single-pulse axial-flow current ip(t) of different temporal shapes for electric wires and cables with copper (aluminum) current-carrying parts and PET, PVC and R half-length insulation, used in the ow- and high-current circuits of pulsed electrical power engineering, electrical engineering and electronics. Electrothermal resistibility of half-length insulation of the examined cable and wire products (CWP), proper maximum to the possible temperatures of heating of current-carrying and insulating parts of the probed wires and cables and shutting out the offensive of the phenomenon destruction in the indicated insulation of CWP, was fixed based on this method. Calculation analytical correlations are obtained for finding in probed CWP of threshold numeral values of Impk amplitudes of pulses of current ip(t), time-varying both on aperiodic dependence of type τf/τp with duration of their front τf and duration of their pulses τp and by law of exponential attenuation sinewave. It is shown that at Imp>Impk destruction of their half-length insulation, resulting in the decline of service life of CWP, will come from the thermal overheat of current-carrying parts of the examined electric wires and cables. The examples of practical application of the offered method are resulted upon settlement for a radiofrequency coaxial cable RC 50-4-11 with middle sizes is easily soiled with continuous PET insulation of threshold amplitudes of Impk of standard aperiodic pulses of current ip(t) from nano-, micro- and millisecond temporal ranges of shape of τf/τp=5 ns/200 ns, τf/τp=10 μs/350 μs and τf/τp=7 ms/160 ms. It is shown that with the proper growth of parameter τp>>τf for flow on a continuous copper tendon and split copper shell of radiofrequency coaxial cable RC 50-4-11 with middle sizes is easily soiled indicated homopolar pulses of current ip(t) substantial diminishing of their threshold amplitudes of Impk (with 531,2 кА for the nanosecond pulse of current of type 5 ns/200 ns to 1.84 кА for the millisecond impulse of current of type of 7 ms/160 ms takes place). Originality. An engineering method is first developed for close settlement of threshold numeral values of Impk amplitudes of single-pulse axial-flow current ip(t) of arbitrary peak-temporal parameters for electric wires and cables with copper (aluminum) current-carrying parts and PET, PVC and R half-length insulation. Practical value. Application in electrical engineering practice of the offered engineering method for determination of threshold amplitudes Impk of the indicated pulses of axial-flow current ip(t) for the probed electric wires and cables will allow considerably to increase service life of examined CWP.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper states that the diameter control in the cable industry is one of the fundamental factors in the final product quality. Such control takes place under the condition that data on the diameter of the electrical insulating sheath of the electric cable will be received continuously. It is possible to evaluate the surface quality of the cable insulation coating, to track thinning, thickening, and some other local surface defects when we receive and process data on the object of control in real time. Modern production facilities are focused on resource efficiency. It means that reducing the consumption of expensive cable materials (non-ferrous metals, alloys, glass, polymers) and insulating materials (plastic compounds, PVC, rubber, etc.) will be one of the main factors in setting up a production complex. The continuous control of the diameter has the ability to provide for such a factor, and also makes it possible to automate the adjustment of the diameter as well as the thickness of the insulation coating using the meter as a part of automatic control systems.

Abstract:
Une baisse constatée de la résistivité de l'isolation en PVC de certains câbles haute tension unipolaires conduit à s'interroger sur leur aptitude à assurer leur fonction. Cette étude avait pour objectif de fournir des éléments de réponse concernant en particulier l'origine de cette variation de résistivité et ses conséquences sur la tenue diélectrique. Les caractérisations ont porté sur des câbles usagés dont les propriétés avaient évolué au cours de leur utilisation. Les caractérisations physico-chimiques (spectroscopie et microscopie IR, spectroscopie UV, MEB-EDX et coulométrie) ont mis en évidence que le vieillissement du câble résultait d'un mécanisme de déshydrochloruration. La présence de deux modes de conduction dans le matériau a été observée : une conduction électronique à basse température (&lt; -10°C) et une conduction ionique à température ambiante et au-delà. La présence de ces deux modes de conduction est compatible avec le mécanisme de déshydrochloruration. Au contraire d'une loi d'Arrhénius, les vieillissements artificiels ont mis en évidence un effet de seuil de température dans l'activation du mécanisme à l'origine de la chute de résistivité. La tenue diélectrique des câbles a été confortée par des essais à des tensions ou à des températures bien au-delà des valeurs nominales. Les mesures de calorimétrie différentielle à balayage (DSC) ont mis en évidence des surchauffes ponctuelles plus ou moins prononcées qui se corrèlent aux chutes de résistivités constatées, et peuvent donc être considérées comme étant à l'origine des évolutions constatées<br>The observed decrease in the resistivity of the PVC insulation of some high voltage unipolar cables led to question their ability to perform their function. Provide answers concerning in particular the origin of the variation in resistivity and the impact on the dielectric strength were the objectives of this study. The characterizations were carried on cables withdrawn from service whose properties had changed during their use. Physico-chemical characterization (IR microscopy, UV spectroscopy, SEM - EDX and coulometry) showed that aging of the cable resulted from a mechanism of dehydrochlorination. The presence of two modes of electric conduction in the material was observed: electronic conduction at a low temperature (&lt; -10 ° C) and ionic conduction at room temperature and beyond. The presence of these two modes of conduction is consistent with the mechanism of dehydrochlorination. In contrast to an Arrhenius law, artificial aging showed a threshold effect in the thermal activation of the mechanism at the origin of the resistivity drop. The dielectric strength of the cable has been confirmed by tests at voltages or temperatures well beyond the nominal values. Measurements of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed occasional more or less pronounced overheatings that correlate with the resistivity drops, and can therefore be considered as being at the origin of the observed evolutions

Abstract:
The growth mechanism of electrical tree in high voltage and extra high voltage dielectric system is needed for early identification, in order to resist the complete insulation failure. In power system equipment, electrical tree formation prevention is very much crucial for reliable and long term operation of cable section. There are so many varieties of electrical tree structure can formed from a weak region or a imperfection site in cable insulation viz branch-type trees, bush-type trees and bush-branch type trees depending on the voltage applied. Electrical treeing was developed in a needle-plane geometry using 5µm tip radius hyperbolic needle shape and a 2 mm gap from the tip of the needle to plane electrode in polymeric samples. This project was conducted by simulations based work in order to understand the characteristics of electrical trees in solid dielectric materials. In this work, electrical tree formation mechanism in solid dielectric material was modeled using MATLAB environment and done experimental work in high voltage laboratory with the application of 100 kV AC source with 50 Hz supply voltage. After the experiment the sample was viewed under FESEM for observation of electrical tree growth. It was found that the FESEM was particularly useful for searching for electrical damage in the polymeric insulation material where treeing phenomena takes place.

Abstract:
Polymers are widely used as insulating materials in high voltage power apparatus because of their excellent electrical insulating properties and good thermomechanical behavior. However, under high electrical stress, polymeric materials can get deteriorated which can eventually lead to the failure of the insulation and thereby the power apparatus. Electrical treeing is one such phenomena whereby dendritic paths progressively grow from a region of high electrical stress and branch into conducting channels in a solid dielectric. The propagation of electrical trees is of particular interest for the power industry as it is one of the major causes of failure of high voltage insulation especially in high voltage cables, cast resin transformers as well as rotating machines. To improve the life time of the electrical insulation systems there is a need to improve the electrical treeing resistance of the insulating material for high voltage application. With the development of nanotechnology, polymer nanocomposites containing nano sized particles have drawn much attention as these materials are found to exhibit unique combinations of physical, mechanical and thermal properties that are advantageous as compared to the traditional polymers or their composites. Literature reveals that significant progress has been made with respect to the mechanical, optical, electronic and photonic properties of these functional materials. Some efforts have also been directed towards the study of dielectric/electrical insulation properties of these new types of materials. Considering the above facts, the present research work focuses on utilizing these new opportunities which have been opened up by the advent of nanocomposites to develop tree resistant insulating materials for high voltage power applications. Electrical treeing is a common failure mechanism in most of the polymeric insulation systems and hence electrical treeing studies have been carried out on two types of polymers (viz. polyethylene used in high voltage cable and epoxy used in rotating machines and resin cast transformers) along with three different types of nano-fillers, viz. Al2O3, SiO2 and MgO and with different filler loadings (0.1, 1, 3, 5 wt%). Furthermore, considering the fact that electrical treeing is a discharge phenomenon, the partial discharge characteristics during electrical tree growth in polymer nanocomposites was studied. As morphological changes in the polymer influence the electrical tree growth, the influence of nano-particle induced morphological changes on the electrical treeing has also been studied. Above all, an attempt has also been made to characterize and analyze the interaction dynamics at the interface regions in the polymer nanocomposite and the influence of these interface regions on the tree growth phenomena in polymer nanocomposites. A laboratory based nanocomposite processing method has been successfully designed and adopted to prepare the samples for treeing studies. Treeing experimental results show that there is a significant improvement in tree initiation time as well as tree inception voltage with nano-filler loading in polymer nanocomposites. It is observed that even with the addition of a small amount (0.1 and 1 % by weight) of nano-particles to epoxy results in the improvement of electrical treeing resistance as compared to the unfilled epoxy. In fact, different tree growth patterns were observed for the unfilled epoxy and epoxy nanocomposites. Surprisingly, even though there is not much improvement in tree inception time, a saturation tendency in tree growth with time was observed at higher filler loadings. To understand the influence of nano-particles on electrical treeing, the interaction dynamics in the epoxy nanocomposites were studied and it was shown that the nature of the bonding at the interface play an important role on the electrical tree growth in epoxy nanocomposites. The results of electrical treeing experiments in polyethylene nanocomposites obtained in this study also reveal some interesting findings. An improved performance of polyethylene against electrical treeing with the inclusion of nano-fillers is observed. It is observed that there is a significant improvement in the tree inception voltage even with low nano-filler loadings in polyethylene. Other interesting results such as change in tree growth pattern from branch to bush as well as slower tree growth with increase in filler loading were also observed. Another peculiar observation is that tree inception voltage increased with increase in filler loading upto a certain filler loadings (3 % by weight) and then decreased in its value at high filler loading. The morphology of polyethylene nanocomposites was studied and a good correlation between morphological changes and treeing results was observed. Effect of cross-linking on electrical treeing has also been studied and a better performance of cross-linking of nano-filled polyethylene samples as compared to the polyethylene samples without cross-linking was observed. The partial discharge (PD) activity during electrical tree growth was monitored and different PD characteristics for unfilled and nano-filled polyethylene samples were observed. Interestingly, a decrease in PD magnitude as well as the number of PD pulses with electrical tree growth in polyethylene nanocomposites was observed. It is known that PD activity depends on the tree channel conductivity, charge trapping and gas pressure inside the tree channel. The ingress of nano-particles into the tree channel influences the above known phenomena and affects the PD activity during electrical tree growth. The observed decrease in PD magnitude with increase in filler loading leads to the slow propagation of electrical trees in polyethylene nanocomposites. In summary, it can be concluded that polymer nanocomposites performed better against electrical treeing as compared to the unfilled and the conventional micron sized filled polymer composites. Even with low filler loading an improved electrical treeing resistance was observed in polymer nanocomposites. An optimum filler loading and a suitable filler to inhibit electrical treeing in the polymers studied are proposed. This work also establishes the fact that the characteristics of the interface region and the induced morphological changes have a strong influence on the electrical treeing behaviors of nanocomposites. These encouraging results showed that epoxy and polyethylene nanocomposites can be used as tree resistant insulating materials for high voltage applications. These results also contribute to widen the scope of applications of polymer nanocomposites in electrical power sector as well as development of multifunctional insulation systems.

Electrical treeing is one such phenomena whereby dendritic paths progressively grow from a region of high electrical stress and branch into conducting channels in a solid dielectric. The propagation of electrical trees is of particular interest for the power industry as it is one of the major causes of failure of high voltage insulation especially in high voltage cables, cast resin transformers as well as rotating machines. To improve the life time of the electrical insulation systems there is a need to improve the electrical treeing resistance of the insulating material for high voltage application. With the development of nanotechnology, polymer nanocomposites containing nano sized particles have drawn much attention as these materials are found to exhibit unique combinations of physical, mechanical and thermal properties that are advantageous as compared to the traditional polymers or their composites. Literature reveals that significant progress has been made with respect to the mechanical, optical, electronic and photonic properties of these functional materials. Some efforts have also been directed towards the study of dielectric/electrical insulation properties of these new types of materials. Considering the above facts, the present research work focuses on utilizing these new opportunities which have been opened up by the advent of nanocomposites to develop tree resistant insulating materials for high voltage power applications. Electrical treeing is a common failure mechanism in most of the polymeric insulation systems and hence electrical treeing studies have been carried out on two types of polymers (viz. polyethylene used in high voltage cable and epoxy used in rotating machines and resin cast transformers) along with three different types of nano-fillers, viz. Al2O3, SiO2 and MgO and with different filler loadings (0.1, 1, 3, 5 wt%). Furthermore, considering the fact that electrical treeing is a discharge phenomenon, the partial discharge characteristics during electrical tree growth in polymer nanocomposites was studied. As morphological changes in the polymer influence the electrical tree growth, the influence of nano-particle induced morphological changes on the electrical treeing has also been studied. Above all, an attempt has also been made to characterize and analyze the interaction dynamics at the interface regions in the polymer nanocomposite and the influence of these interface regions on the tree growth phenomena in polymer nanocomposites. A laboratory based nanocomposite processing method has been successfully designed and adopted to prepare the samples for treeing studies. Treeing experimental results show that there is a significant improvement in tree initiation time as well as tree inception voltage with nano-filler loading in polymer nanocomposites. It is observed that even with the addition of a small amount (0.1 and 1 % by weight) of nano-particles to epoxy results in the improvement of electrical treeing resistance as compared to the unfilled epoxy. In fact, different tree growth patterns were observed for the unfilled epoxy and epoxy nanocomposites. Surprisingly, even though there is not much improvement in tree inception time, a saturation tendency in tree growth with time was observed at higher filler loadings. To understand the influence of nano-particles on electrical treeing, the interaction dynamics in the epoxy nanocomposites were studied and it was shown that the nature of the bonding at the interface play an important role on the electrical tree growth in epoxy nanocomposites. The results of electrical treeing experiments in polyethylene nanocomposites obtained in this study also reveal some interesting findings. An improved performance of polyethylene against electrical treeing with the inclusion of nano-fillers is observed. It is observed that there is a significant improvement in the tree inception voltage even with low nano-filler loadings in polyethylene. Other interesting results such as change in tree growth pattern from branch to bush as well as slower tree growth with increase in filler loading were also observed. Another peculiar observation is that tree inception voltage increased with increase in filler loading upto a certain filler loadings (3 % by weight) and then decreased in its value at high filler loading. The morphology of polyethylene nanocomposites was studied and a good correlation between morphological changes and treeing results was observed. Effect of cross-linking on electrical treeing has also been studied and a better performance of cross-linking of nano-filled polyethylene samples as compared to the polyethylene samples without cross-linking was observed. The partial discharge (PD) activity during electrical tree growth was monitored and different PD characteristics for unfilled and nano-filled polyethylene samples were observed. Interestingly, a decrease in PD magnitude as well as the number of PD pulses with electrical tree growth in polyethylene nanocomposites was observed. It is known that PD activity depends on the tree channel conductivity, charge trapping and gas pressure inside the tree channel. The ingress of nano-particles into the tree channel influences the above known phenomena and affects the PD activity during electrical tree growth. The observed decrease in PD magnitude with increase in filler loading leads to the slow propagation of electrical trees in polyethylene nanocomposites. In summary, it can be concluded that polymer nanocomposites performed better against electrical treeing as compared to the unfilled and the conventional micron sized filled polymer composites. Even with low filler loading an improved electrical treeing resistance was observed in polymer nanocomposites. An optimum filler loading and a suitable filler to inhibit electrical treeing in the polymers studied are proposed. This work also establishes the fact that the characteristics of the interface region and the induced morphological changes have a strong influence on the electrical treeing behaviors of nanocomposites. These encouraging results showed that epoxy and polyethylene nanocomposites can be used as tree resistant insulating materials for high voltage applications. These results also contribute to widen the scope of applications of polymer nanocomposites in electrical power sector as well as development of multifunctional insulation systems.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes temperature measurements acquired in offshore operation of a wave energy converter array. The three directly driven wave energy converters have linear generators and are connected to a marine substation placed on the seabed. The highly irregular individual linear generator voltages are rectified and added on a common DC-link and inverted to 50 Hz to facilitate future grid-connection. The electrical power is transmitted to shore and converted to heat in a measuring station. First results of temperature measurements on substation components and on the stator of one of the linear generators are presented from operation in linear and in non-linear damping. Results indicate that there might be some convective heat transport in the substation vessel. If high power levels are extracted from the waves, this has to be considered when placing components in the substation vessel to avoid heating from neighbouring components. The results also indicate that the temperature increase in the linear generator stator is very small. Failure due to excessive heating of the stator winding PVC cable insulation is unlikely to occur even in very energetic sea states. Should this conclusion be incorrect, the thermal conductivity between the stator and the hull of the WEC could be enhanced. Another suggested alteration would be to lower the resistive losses by reducing the linear generator current density.
