This manuscript critically reviews recent research on electrical insulation materials and systems used in power electronics devices and focuses on electrical treeing in silicone gel, PD modeling, and mitigation methods. For mitigation methods, electric field grading techniques, such as 1) various geometrical techniques, and 2) applying nonlinear dielectrics are discussed. Alternatives for silicone gel, such as liquid dielectrics, are also highlighted. The drawbacks of reported research and technical gaps are identified. In particular, we show that the investigations carried out to date are in their infancy regarding the working conditions targeted for next-generation WBG power devices. This review will provide a useful framework and point of reference for future research.
