Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power networks are growing and network operation is changing which is bringing both, broad ranging opportunities and challenges. The increased penetration of the renewable generation into the power grid, requirement of improved reliability, optimized asset management, enhanced capabilities of fault monitoring and diagnosis, and renewal of the material recipes and component design, etc. are different facets contributing towards the modernization of today’s power grid. When it comes to high voltage operation, the issues related to aging of electrical insulation of the critical components become a significant concern. Integration of the renewable energy resources and proliferation of AC-DC operation is posing additional stresses emerged due to non-standard trasients on the electrical insulation. The demand of operation at economical costs is pushing the utilities to optimize the operational lifetime of the components by upgrading the capabilities of proactive monitoring and diagnosis solutions. Similarly, improving the recipes of insulation materials to extend the lifetime and withstanding abilities of components during conventional as well as unconventional high voltage electrical stresses has become an elevated interest of research.
This Special Issue is aimed at exploring and demonstrating the novel ideas and valuable outcomes addressing the various aspects of high voltage operation under modern grid scenario such as;
- The impact of changing network operation on the performance of electrical insulation
- Insulation aging in power components (such as power transformer, switchgear, underground cable, cable accessories, generator, motor, and other critical network assets)
- Measurement, data acquisition, and data processing techniques
- Identification, location, and quantification of the incipient (insulation) faults
- Efficient and intelligent classification and pattern recognition of insulation defects
- Progression of the insulation deterioration
- Electrical breakdown characteristics
- Modelling of aging behaviour of power components
While the above-mentioned list may not cover all the issues related to high voltage operation, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of manuscript on other similar topics of interest as well that contribute to enhance the knowledge, condition monitoring abilities, and thus the reliability of the power grids.
