Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The subject of high voltage and insulation technology aims to provide technical support for the safe and economic operation of power systems in the design of high-performance environmentally friendly insulation materials, state perception of power equipment, and overvoltage suppression.

Nowadays, under the complex background of UHV transmission construction, deep integration of cyber-physical systems, large-scale grid connection of renewable energy, and harsh electromagnetic operating environment of power equipment, high-voltage disciplines are facing unprecedented challenges.

The corresponding key research areas include, but are not limited to, dielectric insulation properties under extreme conditions or multi-physics, new material sensing technology, multi-information smart device monitoring, high-voltage and high-power DC breaking technology, non-linear behavior mechanisms of discharge plasma, and sub-nanosecond and nanosecond pulse discharge mechanisms. A very important investigation strategy is seeking the symmetry in between the modelling description and the experimental verification for fundamental theories in these areas in order to achieve comprehensive understanding.

This planned issue of Symmetry aims to encourage scholars to carry out research on high voltage and insulation technology in the above context and to submit their research reports in this interesting field, thereby showing the great significance of new ideas. Papers that employ the symmetry or asymmetry concept in their methodologies in the fields of High Voltage and Insulation Technology are welcomed. We also welcome scholars in related fields to contribute their latest research results to this Special Issue.

This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the plasma dynamic modes of operation of end-type magnetoplasma compressor (MPC) discharges. The characteristic methods used to organize the optical pumping of a photodissociation gas laser using an MPC discharge are briefly described. The kinetic and energy characteristics of photodissociation gas optical quantum generators (OQGs) with optical pumping by an MPC discharge were evaluated. Based on the numerical calculations, an analysis of the radiation–plasma dynamic structures and the spectral brightness characteristics of the MPC discharge in the ohmic mode of plasma heating was carried out.

Insulation failure usually occurs in AC gas-insulated transmission (AC GIL) in field operation, in which the primary cause is the charged motion of metal particles in the electric filed. At present, the particle inhibition method applied is to design particle traps on the inner wall of the GIL shell. However, due to the large randomness of the charged motion for metallic particles and the limitations of field test methods, a particle trap has not yet been designed from the perspective of particle trapping effectiveness. In this paper, firstly, referring to the size of a running 252 kV AC GIL, a 1:1 scaled 3-D similarity simulation model is established to obtain the dynamic characteristics of particles with different sizes under the operating voltage level. This model can form symmetry between the real equipment, and its simulated simulation trajectory can achieve symmetry with the actual one. Secondly, an experimental platform that can easily capture the motion of the particles is set up to experimentally verify the symmetry between the field operating equipment and the simulation model. Finally, the particle traps are set on both sides of the concave and convex surface of the basin insulator, and an optimization scheme for the design of the particle trap is proposed from three aspects: the electric field regulation of the trap, the captured probability of particles, and the trap location. The proposed research shows that, with respect to the motion characteristics of the particles, this paper selects circular hole-shaped trap and its thickness, slot spacing, and slot width are 10 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm, respectively. When the traps are arranged, one at the bottom of the shell at 70 mm and 80 mm from each side of the concave and convex insulator, the capture probability of the traps on both sides can be as high as 78% and 70%, respectively. Therefore, the analysis and optimization method in this paper has important reference value according to similarity concepts for optimizing particle traps in AC GIL at a certain voltage level.

According to the vibration characteristics of converter transformers, considering the Maxwell equation, magnetostrictive effect, Lorentz force and structural mechanics, the similarity criterion suitable for converter transformers is deduced in this paper. Using the finite element simulation platform, the multi physical field coupling model of converter transformers is constructed, and the scale coefficient is 0.1. The magnetic flux density distribution, stress distribution, shape variable and vibration characteristics of the model before and after the similarity are analyzed. The results show that the variation law of the model before and after the similarity conforms to the similarity criterion, and the correctness of the similarity criterion is verified. The converter transformer vibration similarity model and its verification method can effectively reduce the unnecessary waste of resources before the preparation of converter transformers and have important reference value for the analysis and improvement of converter transformer vibration characteristics.
