Abstract

Direct-current gas-insulated switchgear (DC GIS) is an important device for promoting the lightweight and compact design of offshore wind power platforms. Gas pressure and temperature gradients are crucial factors that must be considered during the design process of the DC GIS. In this study, the multi-physics coupling model of basin insulators considering surface charge accumulation was established, and the corresponding real-sized insulator surface charge measurement platform was constructed. The effects of gas pressure and temperature gradient on the surface charge accumulation characteristics were investigated, respectively. The results show that the effect of gas pressure on the surface charge distribution characteristics depends on the dominant mode of surface charge. When volume conduction is dominant, the effect of gas pressure on the surface charge is negligible. However, when gas conduction is dominant, the accumulation of a uniform charge pattern on the insulator surface increases with the rise in gas pressure. Furthermore, due to gas convection, the temperature of the upper part of the DC GIS is significantly higher than that of the lower part, which leads to a temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the insulator. The charge density on the insulator upper surface near the central conductor rises with the increase in load current.
