Abstract

Power cables are one of the key components of fast-growing HVDC transmission systems. The long-term reliability of HVDC cables is closely related to the occurrence of partial discharges (PDs) in their insulation systems. The article analyzes the conditions for the formation of PD pulses in gaseous voids located in the XLPE insulation of an HVDC cable. For this purpose, the MATLAB ® procedure and the coupled electro-thermal simulation model implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics ® software were used. The FEM model was used to study the effect of the applied voltage, the temperature field (created in the insulation of the loaded cable) and the location of the gaseous void (on cable radius) in the distribution and values of the electric field in the cable insulation. The model takes into account the influence of temperature and the electric field on the conductivity of the insulating material and relates the value of the PD inception field to the temperature/pressure of the gas inside the void. In the numerical simulation procedure, the time sequences of PDs arising in the gaseous defects of the HVDC cable insulation were analyzed, by observing changes caused by the increase in the temperature of the cable core. The model was used for a study of conditions for PD formation in models of three HVDC cables, for DC voltages from 150 kV to 500 kV. The critical dimensions of gaseous voids were also estimated for each of the analyzed cables, i.e., the dimension which, if exceeded, makes a void a source of PD.
