Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project is aimed at creating a new class of modelling techniques for use in the field of high voltage experimentation. Measurement of extremely fast electrical phenomena in a high voltage environment is difficult, because sensors can often only measure the effects of discharges at non-ideal positions that are remote from the quantities of real interest. The three-dimensional models will be able to simulate, on a sub-nanosecond timescale, the physical and electromagnetic changes that take place when an electrostatic field leads to an electrical discharge. Models will include the sensors, so that experiments can be replicated in full and transfer functions between inaccessible quantities and the output of sensors can be determined. The technique will be based on the incorporation into finite-difference time-domain methods of appropriate representations of the interacting processes that lead to discharges. Together with its full range of supporting experiments, the project will yield new insight into the complex electrodynamic interactions involved in electrical discharges. A significant benefit for practical power systems will be the introduction of schemes for measuring partial discharge magnitudes in terms of the radiated emissions detected by calibrated sensors.
