Abstract
:1. Introduction
- The development of materials with improved performances regarding targeted applications, notably decrease the propensity to store space charge and manage field grading properties;
- The development of physical models for the material behavior: how charges are generated, stored and transported;
- The development of techniques, particularly charge distribution measurement techniques, relevant to the geometry and to the thermal and electrical stresses that are encountered;
- The proposal for materials assessment methodologies for the application: This means that relevant quantities have to be measured and figures of merit for materials provided in order to make systems more safe;
- The implementation of engineering models for stress distribution estimation.
