Discharging micro cavities and electric field enhancement due to cavities in HVDC XLPE cables

2021-08-11T16:59:00+02:00August 31st, 2018|Publications, Systèmes de câbles haute tension|

This paper presents simulation and calculation results of electric field enhancement due to various cavity shapes carried out on polymeric high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables. Two aspects are considered: partial discharges (PD) in microcavities and field enhancement factor under DC.

Design of a 4-Phase Intercell Transformer Converter for a Space Charge Measuring System

2018-09-03T10:00:15+02:00February 22nd, 2018|Publications, Systèmes de câbles haute tension|

This paper presents the design of a power electronics converter to produce strong current pulses (about 400A) in the core of a HVDC cable in order to use the thermal step method to evaluate the ageing state of the dielectric component. The described converter uses a magnetic coupler with intercells transformers and is current controlled. Index Terms—magnetic coupler; intercell transformer; high current pulses; thermal step method; dielectrics.

Since 2016, SuperGrid Institute’s program 4 has intensely worked on the specification of a test platform with the capability to go up to 40bars of internal pressure and validate subsea node, a SuperGrid Institute concept for offshore meshed networks. Beside its imposing size, the particularity of this platform is that it allows combined testing functions on subsea high-voltage cable systems including water pressure, di
