项目摘要

Two of the most critical global challenges currently being faced are energy security and climate change. In the UK, massive investment will be required in the next decade, both to replace ageing plant and to allow for the incorporation of renewable sources. These changes will involve a paradigm shift in the ways in which we generate and transmit electricity. Since a central element of all items of power plant is electrical insulation, meeting our future energy challenges will involve the deployment of new innovative plant which, in turn, will require the development and exploitation of a new generation of high performance insulation materials. This project brings together Alstom Grid, Supergrid Institute, GnoSys Global and the University of Southampton. This consortium will develop advanced materials for use in next generation HVAC and HVDC systems, which will reduce carbon emissions, improve security of supply and reduce overall costs. The strategy centres on the use of nanocomposites as high performance dielectrics - nanodielectrics - and although this concept has attracted enormous interest since first being proposed in the mid-1990s, the field is plagued by irreproducibility. Indeed, entirely contradictory effects are often reported for nominally equivalent systems. Thus, while it has been shown that nanodielectrics can exhibit greatly improved properties, if the technological potential of these materials is ever to be realised, then it is essential that production strategies be developed to fabricate materials repeatably with known and controlled structures and properties. The work programme builds upon and exploits the NanocompEIM feasibility project supported by TSB (Ref.101144) and will progressively build from optimising functionalised and reactive nanofillers to meet wider applications in insulating components, through industrial scale up of materials processing, to the manufacture and testing of large components. The work is divided into a number of work packages (WP). In WP1, functionalised and reactive nanofillers will be optimised to meet identified HV application needs; WP2 will concern the industrial scale-up of materials processing for reliable large volume rapid batch processing of nanocomposites, together with the development of quality assurance metrics to ensure reliability and repeatability. In WP3, the resulting materials will be used to manufacture a number of large components, which will subsequently be tested in WP4, to verify large component performance. These results will be fed back into WP1 for further refinement of material factors. WP5 will focus on exploitation and dissemination and will include value-chain analysis and the development of strategic partnering and licensing strategies to facilitate broader use of the IP produced in the project. A key element in this is the establishment of custom materials supply and production arrangements through GnoSys, which will directly facilitate the adoption of the materials we will develop outside the immediate consortium. Finally, WP6 will be devoted to effective project management. From the above, sound quantitative structure-property-process relationships (QSPPR) will be established that will enable nanodielectrics to be used reliably within industry. It is commercially innovative to carry out this development with the engagement of the complete supply chain, from materials suppliers, through manufacturers of components and equipment, to end users in the form of the UK transmission system operators. While the project will focus on the electrical application of nanocomposites, the consequences of the knowledge produced will be much wider, since the QSPPRs that will emerge will be applicable in many different technology areas that employ advanced materials. As such, this project will generate a range of environmental, economic and societal impacts.

目前面临的两个最严重的全球挑战是能源安全和气候变化。在英国，未来十年将需要大量投资，以更换老化的工厂，并允许纳入可再生能源。这些变化将涉及我们发电和输电方式的范式转变。由于发电厂所有项目的核心要素是电气绝缘，满足我们未来的能源挑战将涉及部署新的创新发电厂，这反过来又需要开发和利用新一代高性能绝缘材料。该项目汇集了阿尔斯通电网、超级电网研究所、GnoSys Global和南安普顿大学。该联盟将开发用于下一代暖通空调和高压直流输电系统的先进材料，这将减少碳排放，提高供应安全性，并降低总体成本。该战略的核心是使用纳米复合材料作为高性能介电材料--纳米介电材料--尽管这一概念自1990年代中期首次提出以来吸引了巨大的兴趣，但该领域仍存在不可重复性的问题。事实上，对于名义上等价的系统，经常会报告完全相互矛盾的影响。因此，虽然已经证明纳米介电材料可以表现出极大的改进性能，但如果要实现这些材料的技术潜力，那么至关重要的是开发生产策略，以重复地制造具有已知和可控制的结构和性能的材料。该工作计划建立在TSB(参考文献101144)支持的NanoCompEIM可行性项目的基础上，并将逐步从优化功能化和反应性纳米填料，以满足绝缘元件的更广泛应用，通过材料加工的工业规模，到大型元件的制造和测试。这项工作分为多个工作包(WP)。在WP1中，功能化和反应性纳米过滤器将得到优化，以满足已确定的高压应用需求；WP2将关注材料加工的工业规模扩大，以实现可靠的大量纳米复合材料的快速批量加工，以及开发质量保证指标，以确保可靠性和可重复性。在WP3中，产生的材料将用于制造许多大型部件，随后将在WP4中进行测试，以验证大型部件的性能。这些结果将反馈到WP1中，以进一步细化材料因素。WP5将侧重于开发和传播，并将包括价值链分析以及制定战略合作伙伴关系和许可战略，以促进更广泛地使用该项目产生的知识产权。其中一个关键因素是通过GnoSys建立定制材料供应和生产安排，这将直接促进我们将在直属财团以外开发的材料的采用。最后，WP6将致力于有效的项目管理。通过以上工作，将建立合理的定量结构-性质-工艺关系(QSPPR)，使纳米介电材料能够在工业中可靠地使用。从材料供应商到零部件和设备制造商，再到英国输电系统运营商的最终用户，通过参与整个供应链的参与来进行这一开发，在商业上是创新的。虽然该项目将重点放在纳米复合材料的电子应用上，但所产生的知识的后果将更加广泛，因为将出现的QSPPR将适用于许多使用先进材料的不同技术领域。因此，该项目将产生一系列环境、经济和社会影响。
