Spatio-temporal development of surface charges on spacers stressed with DC voltages

1990-6
Bektas, S.I.
The development of surface charge on a right-cylindrical spacer under different DC stress levels is measured in SF/sub 6/ for several hours. The DC voltage stress levels are below the stresses where partial discharges with AC voltage generally occur. The measurements indicate that charges are mainly deposited on one side only of the spacer and are predominantly of opposite polarity to that of the applied voltage. The charge and its area increase with time and saturate. Typical saturation times are approximately 3 and 9 h for 10 kV and 5 kV respectively. Magnitudes of saturated charge increase linearly with applied voltage. Various factors which may affect charge accumulation pattern are investigated. Measurements show that charge deposition on a spacer are influenced insignificantly by gamma -irradiation or a change of gas from SF/sub 6/ to air. However, charge depositions are influenced by surface conductance of the spacer. The charging of the spacer is negligible when stressed with AC and impulse voltages with peak voltages in a range similar to the DC levels used.< >

SABAH, CUMALİ; TURKMEN-KUCUKSARİ, OZNUR; Sayan, Gönül (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2014-07-17)
A novel metamaterial sensor, integrated with an X-band waveguide, is proposed for high-resolution measurements of variations in the dielectric constant and/or the thickness of a superstrate layer that covers a pair of absorber unit cells. Variations in superstrate parameters are potentially caused by physical, chemical or biological factors, and can be detected by measuring the corresponding shifts in the resonance frequency of the metamaterial sensor. It is estimated by simulation results that resolution l...
Adaptive controller based on grid impedance estimation for stable operation of grid-connected inverters under weak grid conditions
Temiz, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan; Demirok, Erhan (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2020-10-01)
An electric grid having high impedance seen from the connection point is considered as a weak grid and it adversely affects the system stability of grid-tied voltage source inverters in renewable power devices. In this study, an adaptive controller is proposed by configuring the settling time of the phase-locked loop based on the estimated grid impedance. Pseudorandom binary sequence injection and Fourier techniques are carried out for grid impedance estimation. Impedance-based stability analysis is perform...
Reflection Phase Characterization of Curved High Impedance Surfaces
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Birtcher, Craig R. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-12-01)
Reflection phase characteristics of cylindrically curved high impedance surfaces (HISs) are examined. Due to the non-periodicity of the problem, full wave solutions can be time consuming. To overcome this problem, an approximate semi-analytical method, which assumes a homogenized model for the curved HIS, is developed. The model parameters can be extracted from the reflection properties of the flat HIS. For the cases where only Floquet currents are excited, the reflection phase diagram of a curved HIS is in...
Inductor Saturation Compensation With Resistive Decoupling for Single-Phase Controlled VSC Systems
ÖZKAN, ZİYA; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-02-01)
In voltage-source converter systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous because of the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional current regulation methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes the saturation compensation with resistive decoupling (SCRD) method to overcome these performance issues. The method converts ...

A metamaterial absorber (MA) based sensor is designed and analysed for various important applications including pressure, temperature, density, and humidity sensing. Material parameters, as well as equivalent circuit model have been extracted and explained. After obtaining a perfect absorption (PA) at around 6.46 GHz and 7.68 GHz, surface current distributions at resonance points have been explained.
