Partial discharges for diagnosis of cavity growth under harmonics in HVDC XLPE model cables
This paper presents results carried out on polymeric high voltage direct current (HVDC) model cable. Two aspects are considered: partial discharge (PD) and current measurements, with the aim at investigating possible growth of voids of micrometer size.

High Voltage Electrical Properties of Epoxy / h-BN Microcomposites
Two high voltage properties – DC conductivity and AC breakdown strength – of epoxy composites filled with 30 wt% of micron sized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are discussed in comparison to neat epoxy.
Theoretical and experimental analysis of the soft switching process for SiC MOSFETs based Dual Active Bridge converters
In the new electrical grids, series/parallel converters architectures can be considered for medium and high voltage power conversion. Dual Active Bridge (DAB) topology is a serious candidate to be implemented within these converters.
Overview of DC-DC Converters dedicated to HVDC Grids
This paper presents an overview of the DC-DC power converters dedicated to HVDC proposing a classification based on their structure.
Design of a 4-Phase Intercell Transformer Converter for a Space Charge Measuring System
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.

Numerical investigations of ReBCO conductors with high limitation electric field for HVDC SFCL
Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) are already in operation in alternative current medium voltage applications and their use in HVDC grids is very promising due to their capability of reducing high short-circuit currents.
Comparison between numerical and analytical methods of AC resistance evaluation of medium frequency transformers : validation on a prototype
In the future, medium-frequency transformers (with a frequency range of 5-100 kHz) will be major components in dc-dc converter applications, for both medium-voltage direct current and high-voltage direct current networks.
