In this paper, characteristics of Acoustic Emission in Low Density Polyethylene were studied from tree initiation to breakdown under long-term inhomogeneous alternative electrical field. The voltage levels used were 9, 11 and 14[kV]. Especially, a newly developed automatic measuring system was used to measure time variations of AE average amplitude, AE pulse number, AE pulse distribution patterns due to polarities. The patterns wer specially the variated patterns, when tree propagated. Also, parameters for dielectric breakdown prediction, which were suggested by Okamoto, were calculated. The result was analysed by tree shapes and partial discharge activities in tree due to tree initiation and propagation.

It is well known that water treeing is one of the main cause of breakdown in underground power cables, but water tree is not easy to observe. This aging phenomenon was resulted in effect of water and electric field and so on. In this paper, Distilled water was used as water electrode to observe the water treeing in XLPE(cross-linked polyethylene). To observe easily, sample was made of pallet types so water tree was able to show by microscope. As a result, electrical tree appears at niddle electrode tip which was concentrated electric field, but water tree was shown up different types that were appealed in total area of water electrode as well as water electrode tip.

This study treats the improvement of the dielectric strength of polymer by eliminating the air in it and dissolving electronegative gases. As experimental material, unsaturated polyester resin was used and the specimen was made by dissolving NS12T. SFS16T abd CCIS12TFS12T gases which have strong electron affinity. And also the electrical properties (tree growth and breakdown characteristics) of them were tested and discussed. The results are as follows. When the specimen dissolved with electronegative gas compared with one with air` 1) The tree breakdown voltage of the former is higher than that of the latter. 2) The tree growth of the former is slower than that of the latter. 3) The temperature dependence of the former is smaller than that of the latter. 4) The breakdown voltage of the specimen dissolved with electronegative gas is much higher than that dissolved with air.

Studies on treeing phenomena have depended on the visual measurement using optical microscope. In the visual measurement, it is difficult to analyze the treeing in real time because voltages are applied discontinuously and impossible to calculate the deterioated area by treeing. Only tree type and length are studied. In this paper, image processing is introduced and voltages are applied continuously. The tree length and area are calculated in real time from tree inception to breakdown. Growing characteristics about tree types are compared for the normalized breakdown time.

This paper describes a study of electrical tree growth in DGEBA/MDA/SN system subjected to ac high electric field. The dielectric breakdown process, which consists of tree initiation, tree propagation and the complete puncture of the system was investigated. Dielectric breakdown always initiated from the needle tip where the electric field reinforcement is the highest. Higher temperature and voltage accelerated the tree growth and reduced the time to breakdown.

There are various methods to evaluate tree vigor. Cambial electrical resistance represents tree vigor using the method of electrophysiological diagnosis. This study investigated the vigor of several tree species using Shigometer, and compared the differences among the species. The factors, such as foliation, trunk orientation and bark temperature, which affect electrical resistance were also investigated. The needle penetration into cambium was controlled to keep the depth consistent in order to minimize measurement error. Each of three trees were selected from Zelkova serrata, Ginkgo biloba, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Pinus koraiensis, and Liriodendron tulipifera. The electrical resistances were measured at 60 and 120 cm height of the stem in 4 directions from March until May 2011. The soil conditions in surrounding areas and tree stress responses were also measured. The results were analyzed for the relationship between electrical resistance and the affecting factors. The electrical resistance showed a relatively higher level before foliation until mid-March. The values started to decline from April and recorded a minimal level on May 11. The changes of soil moisture, soil electric conductivity, and tree stress responses during the measurement period showed a similar trend to that of electrical resistance. The Pinus koraiensis, an evergreen conifer, showed few changes on the electrical resistance values during the measurement period. Zelkova serrata, Ginkgo biloba, and Metasequoia glyptostroboides showed the highest bark temperatures and lowest electrical resistances at their south-facing stem. Shigometer can provide measures simple to assess tree vigor in the fields, and to the management of trees.

In this study, The water tree characteristics were investigated when crosslinking coagent was added in XLPE/EnBA blends. When XLPE was blended with EnBA, there was a decrease of water tree length as an increase of nBA contents in XLPE/EnBA20 blends. The effect of crosslinking coagent. A was better than those of other crosslinking coagents B, C and D in water tree retardation. In case of XLPE/EnBA/Crosslinking coagent blends, water tree length was increased as the crosslinking coagents were increased from 0.2 to 2 phr in 2.0 phr DCP content. To clarify the effects of crosslinking coagent, the DCP contents were changed from 1.5 to 2.0 par in the same crosslinking coagent contents. Then, there was a decrease of water tree length as an increase of crosslinking coagent contents in 1.5 and 1.8 phr DCP contents.

In this paper, we suggest tree-structure-aware GP (Genetic Programming) operators that heed tree distributions in structure space and their possible structural difficulties. The main idea of the proposed GP operators is to place the generated offspring of crossover and/or mutation in a specified region of tree structure space insofar as possible by biasing the tree structures of the altered subtrees, taking into account the observation that most solutions are found in that region. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, experiments on the binomial-3 regression, multiplexor and even parity problems are performed. The results show that the results using the proposed tree-structure-aware operators are superior to the results of standard GP for all three test problems in both success rate and number of evaluations.

The proposed system was composed of pre-processor which was executing binary/high-pass filtering and post-processor which ranged from statistic data to prediction. In post-processor work, step one was filter process of image, step two was image recognition, and step three was destruction degree/time prediction. After these processing, we could predict image of the last destruction timestamp. This research was produced variation value according to growth of tree pattern. This result showed improved correction, when this research was applied image Processing. Pre-processing step of original image had good result binary work after high pass- filter execution. In the case of using partial discharge of the image, our research could predict the last destruction timestamp. By means of experimental data, this Prediction system was acquired ${\pm}$3.2% error range.
