Abstract

Outdoor insulators have been widely recognized as backbone components installed in the power system in order to maintain a reliable power supply. The ability of outdoor insulating materials to withstand different weathering conditions in different outdoor environment high voltages has been an important task defined for both suppliers and users of outdoor insulators in the power industry. The use of standard material screening methods is an essential step conducted in order to qualify outdoor insulating materials for their targeted high voltage applications. Various standard guides have been developed, but the need remains to update or create new guides addressing new challenges in the power system. The main aim of this technical committee is to develop IEEE guides on evaluation methods of high voltage insulation materials in the outdoors. The following objectives can be highlighted in achieving this aim: • Providing a scheduled forum such as workshops, special sessions and meetings, addressing new challenges in the industry. • Conducting technical activities such as round robin testing and state-of-the-art literature surveys on recent advances. • Publishing review articles, position papers and special issues in the journals of DEIS.
