Content: • Electric field characteristics. Analytical estimation of electric fields.• Numerical computing of voltage distributions and electric fields using Finite-Difference codes. Numerical solving of Laplace Equation.• Numerical analysis of E-fields using CST EM Studio.• Generation of DC, AC and impulse high-voltages.• Measurement of DC, AC and impulse high-voltages.• Breakdown in gases, liquids, and solid dielectrics. Application of insulating materials in electrical components. Design of insulators.• Overvoltage phenomenon.

Learning outcome - Objectives

Knowledge: By the end of the course the students will be able:

to understand basic concepts and phenomena relevant to dimensioning and evaluation of high voltage (HV) components with regard to electrical, electro-mechanical, and thermal stress of insulators and conductors,
to identify key component’s parameters and define critical quantities/figures of HV components,
to examine the influence of the identified component’s parameters on the critical quantities/figures,
to differentiate and subsequently prioritise the critical figures with regard to safe and reliable operation of a particular component/insulator, as well as
to reliably estimate values and uncertainties of relevant figures.

Skills: By the completion of the course the students should be able:

to identify electric field characteristics (as well other related quantities, e.g., temperature, pressure, current, etc.,) and material parameters appropriate for a particular HV problem,
to use analytical methods to estimate: HV components/insulation characteristics, potential relief in the electric stress due to proper component dimensioning/grading, possible value of electric field build up due to insulation defects,
to develop, modify and, use finite-difference numerical codes for computing and visualization of electric fields and voltage distributions,
to set up and use electric schematic evaluators for steady-state and transient thermal analyses and ampacity evaluation of HV cables,
to simulate electric stress using CST EM studio,
to make a state of the art review on a particular HV problem using available databases (e.g., ieeexplore), as well as to evaluate reliability of the available formulas and approaches for HV problems.

Competence: By the completion of the course, the students should have developed a basic vision of existing methods and tools relevant to design and analysis of HV components/insulators. Completion of the course assignments requires the student (a) to elaborate the work plan for every assignment, (b) to list modelling approximations/assumptions, (c) to define the figures of interest, (d) to configure evaluation tools, (e) to interpret the evaluation results, (f) to present the completed assignment in the form of a report describing the problem formulation, description of methods, results, conclusion, and bibliography.
