Measurement of Partial Discharge in High Voltage Electrical Components in Aerospace Environments

这个项目旨在开发一种测量技术，当局部放电是由电力电子转换器的电压产生时，我们将最大限度地提高检测能力。这将支持测试技术的发展，以确保航空航天高压系统的可靠性。该项目的重点是，随着航空航天系统继续看到更高电压的部署，它将为航空航天系统增加价值。然而，该项目也将为相关应用提供重大好处，如汽车和船舶电气系统。我们正在寻求开发的关键创新是一种天线设计，它可以最大限度地增加我们在航空航天系统中预期压力下运行的绝缘系统中检测到局部放电的机会。

"This project seeks to develop a measurement technique that would maximise our ability to detect partial discharge when it is produced by the voltages from a power electronic converter. This will support the development of a test technique that could ensure the reliability of aerospace high voltage systems.The project is focused in a way that would see it add value to aerospace systems as they continue to see higher voltages being deployed. However, the project would also provide significant benefit to related applications such as automotive and marine electrical systems.The key innovation we are seeking to develop is an antenna design that maximises our chance of detecting partial discharge in insulation systems operating at the pressures expected in an aerospace system."
