DC cable modelling and High Voltage Direct Current grid grounding system
This paper describes the influence of grounding on voltage and current transients during DC-link fault in a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable system.
Surge and extended overvoltage testing of HVDC cable systems
In this contribution we give a short status update of the Cigré JWG B4/B1/C4.73. This joint working group deals with investigating the surge and extended overvoltage testing of HVDC cable systems. We present a historic overview over the standardization situation for HVDC cable systems.

EPF 2017 “Influence of size distribution […] high voltage epoxy insulators”
Epoxy resins crosslinked with acid anhydride hardeners are widely used in high voltage insulation. They have excellent dielectric, electrical and mechanical properties up to relatively high temperatures. However, neat epoxy systems exhibit low thermal conductivity and unsuitable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) when used with metallic materials such as high voltage conductors.

PhD Justine BILLORE “Thermal aging of XLPE for HVDC cables”
To connect the different points of the network, the transmission and distribution of electric power used cables. Since few years, cables and especially their insulation part are evolving, going from paper insulation to a synthetic insulation. Nowadays, the insulation part of HVDC cables is in crosslinked polyethylene or XLPE.

Toward deeper submarine cable installations
Numerous High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) submarine cables have been installed in Europe and more are yet to come. Such transmission allows the trading of energy or the supply of isolated areas with almost no limitations on distance (typically 100-1000km). Interconnections such as NorNed and soon Nord Link and North Sea Link will provide a safe path for the large integration of renewable energies in northern Europe (Figure 1).

Dielectric behaviour of a new grade of cross-linked polyethylene for HVDC cables
In order to ensure the energy transmission from remote production stations to load centres, it is well known that High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) presents some advantages compared to High Voltage Alternative Current (HVAC).
