Abstract
AbstractElectric field optimization is a critical technique to ensure the compact structure and reliable operation for AC gas insulated power apparatus. To obtain a more uniform electric field distribution, this chapter proposes the concept of the d-SFGM insulator, i.e., applying the surface functionally graded material (SFGM) with a designed thickness (d) distribution of high permittivity along the insulator surface. The magnetron sputtering technique was used to fabricate the d-uniform insulator and the d-SFGM insulator by depositing BaTiO3 layers. The theoretical analysis indicates that the electric field distribution is optimized using the d-SFGM insulator, followed by the d-uniform insulator. The finite element simulations were employed to investigate the electric field distributions and dielectric losses of different insulators. The results show that for the case of the d-uniform insulator, a higher permittivity or larger thickness of the sputtering layer results in a more uniform electric field distribution. Finally, experimental tests were conducted to further verify the feasibility of SFGM. The AC flashover voltage of the d-SFGM insulator is much higher than those of the conventional insulator and the d-uniform insulators. Therefore, the d-SFGM insulator has great potential for improving the reliability of the AC gas insulated power apparatus.
