Comparison Between Thermally Stimulated Discharge Method and Photo-stimulated Discharge Method for Measuring Space Charge Traps Energy

The space charge behavior of a dielectric under HVDC is influenced by the charge trap energy distribution in it. Hence, we in- vestigated the charge trap distributions in several kinds of typical polymer materials using thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) and photo-stimulated discharge (PSD) methods, respectively. The experimental results show that,there is a significant difference between the trap energy distributions obtained by the two methods, but the difference decreases with the increase of the melting point of polymers. This is attributed to the change of the trap center environment during TSD caused by the increasing movements of both main chains and branched chains in polymers. PSD method is more accurate for investigating charge trap distribution in dielectrics, especially for polymers with low melting points.

固体绝缘介质中空间电荷分布测量技术及其在电气工业中的应用

高压直流输电应用广泛、前景开阔,然而电缆材料内部空间电荷的存在成为了限制其发展的难点之一。为此综述介绍了固体绝缘电介质中空间电荷分布测量技术的历史发展过程,并详细介绍了主要的3种非破坏性实验方法的物理模型与实验技术,包括压力波传播法(PWP法)、电声脉冲法(PEA法)、热扩散法(TSM法)等。并针对不同的绝缘试样介质(例如平板、同轴圆柱等),详细介绍了各种方法的物理原理与具体测量技术。PWP法和PEA法的实验技术已经基本定型,并已经发展出了可在实际工业应用的真实长电缆空间电荷的测量技术。热扩散法相对应用较少,主要介绍了适于较厚介质的热阶跃法及其数据处理和实验难点。然后比较了这几种方法的特点,并分析讨论了目前所存在的主要问题,最后对于空间电荷测量技术的前景与发展趋势作了一些展望与猜测。
