Abstract
This paper presents an experimental analysis of the electrical behavior of positive point-plane corona discharges. The corona current, streamer velocity, mean discharge frequency, and current-voltage characteristic are studied, firstly in synthetic air as a function of experimental parameters such as gap distance and tip radius. Different electrical diagnostics are used in order to better understand the streamer development as well as the dependence of its characteristics on the previous listed parameters. Then the influence of gas mixture (several proportions of N2 and O2 with or without CO2) is analyzed. When the gas concentration is varied the shape and amplitude of the corona current are significantly affected due to the variation of the gas electronegativity following its composition and concentration. The ionization and attachment coefficients are calculated from the electron energy distribution function in the case of these different gas mixtures in order to quantify the critical electric field value enabling the streamer development for a given gas mixture.
