Study on the influencing factors of space charge dynamic behavior in XLPE insulation under alternating current electric field
Résumé
Abstract The dynamic behavior of space charges is one of the potential factors that cause electrical aging. In this paper, a bipolar space charge transport model was established under an AC electric field in cross-linked polyethylene. The effects of physical parameters on the dynamic behavior of space charges in an AC electric field were explored by changing the injection barrier heights, mobilities, trapping coefficients, and detrapping barrier heights of positive and negative charges. The effects of voltage conditions on space charge behavior were explored by changing the amplitude and frequency. The effects of temperature were studied by setting a temperature gradient similar to that of real cable operation. The asymmetry of the physical parameters could seriously aggravate the accumulation of space charges in the AC field. A set of physical parameters based on these results was identified. Both the increase in voltage amplitude and decrease in frequency enhanced the amount of and penetration into the insulation of the accumulated space charge. The dynamic behaviors of the space charges were more active with increased voltage amplitude and frequency. The temperature gradient in the cable insulation implies that the degree of accumulation, penetration into material, and activity of dynamic behaviors of the space charges at the warmest electrode are greater than those at the coldest. Compared with the DC field, the dynamic behavior of space charges in the AC electric field is more active and releases more energy. This research provides a theoretical basis for inhibiting the accumulation of space charges in an AC electric field.
