Advanced High-Voltage Insulator Analysis
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
As the demand for electric power continues to grow, the need for upgraded facilities and advanced techniques has become crucial. High-voltage insulators, essential for power transmission, are increasingly exposed to environmental pollutants such as industrial emissions and rain, which can deteriorate performance, cause equipment failures, and lead to power outages.
To address these challenges, I utilized COMSOL (SolidWorks) software to analyze an 11kV ceramic insulator under three stages of pollution. Key parameters—electromagnetic field, electric power dissipation, and electric potential—were calculated, providing valuable reference values for designing and testing insulators under online partial discharge testing for high-voltage applications. Practical testing in a high-voltage laboratory, in accordance with IEC and IEEE standards, validated these findings by determining the breakdown voltage under varying conditions. These insights were instrumental in proposing solutions to extend the lifespan of high-voltage insulators and enhance their reliability by optimizing lightning control during power transmission. Additionally, the calculated parameters contributed to the development of low-carbon solutions, power system analysis, and efficient power distribution strategies, ensuring sustainable and reliable energy delivery.
