Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Solid Dielectrics and their Applications”.

Dielectric materials have been from the very beginning at the heart of the electrical and electronics components and systems, and a main topic related to their design and reliability. Nowadays, the continuously increasing demand of improving energy efficiency requires more and more integration and miniaturization, involving significant increase of thermal, electrical and mechanical stress applied to dielectrics during service, while these materials are one of the main reasons for failures in these systems. In this context, this Special Issue will deal with the different aspects related to solid dielectrics and to their present and future applications.

Topics of interest for publication include (but are not limited to):

  • Basic and advanced properties of solid dielectrics
  • Different types of dielectric materials (polymers, ceramics, composites) and their applications
  • Tailoring of dielectric properties for specific applications
  • Dielectrics in micro and nano-electronics
  • Dielectrics in high voltage applications (dc and ac)
  • Dielectrics in power electronics
  • Dielectrics in space applications
  • Dielectrics in sensors and actuators
  • Dielectrics for energy storage systems
  • Electrets and their applications
  • Nano-dielectrics and their applications
  • Piezoelectric materials and their applications
  • Bio-dielectrics
  • High-temperature solid dielectrics and their applications
  • High field solid dielectrics and their applications
  • Behavior of dielectric properties under high stress and reliability-related problems in electronic and electrical engineering components and systems
  • Lifetime estimation of dielectric materials and structures
  • Insulating systems
  • Set-up and optimization of insulating structures and systems
  • Renewable and bio-sourced dielectrics
  • Challenges and prospects related to the use of solid dielectrics in emerging applications

There are systems dedicated to measuring the eccentricity of enameled wires based on optical and electromagnetic phenomena. However, these methods are limited by the nature of the insulation and the conductor. The proposed solution consists of checking the wire eccentricity by an electrical measurement. Since it is a conductor on which an insulator is placed, the idea consists of forming a capacitor and measuring its capacitance in order to deduce the insulation thickness. Full article

Accessories such as joints and terminations represent weak points in HVDC cable systems. The DC field distribution is intimately dependent on the thermal conditions of the accessory and on material properties. Moreover, there is no available method to probe charge distribution in these conditions. In this work, the field distribution in non-stationary conditions, both thermally and electrically, is computed considering crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) as cable insulation and different insulating materials (silicone, rubber, XLPE) for a 200 kV joint assembled in a same geometry. In the conditions used, i.e., temperatures up to 70 °C, and with the material properties considered, the dielectric time constant appears of the same order or longer than the thermal one and is of several hours. This indicates that both physical phenomena need to be considered for modelling the electric field distribution. Both the radial and the tangential field distributions are analysed, and focus is given on the field distribution under the stress cone on the ground side and near the central deflector on the high voltage side of the joint. We show that the position of the maximum field varies in time in a way that is not easy to anticipate. Under the cone, the smallest tangential field is obtained with the joint insulating material having the highest electrical conductivity. This results from a shift of the field towards the cable insulation in which the geometrical features produce a weaker axial component of the field. At the level of the central deflector, it is clear that the tangential field is higher when the mismatch between the conductivity of the two insulations is larger. In addition, the field grows as a function of time under stress. This work shows the need of precise data on materials conductivity and the need of probing field distribution in 3D. Full article
