In this paper, we developed 3 dimensional Surface Charge Method which could calculate electric fields inside GIS with a small void in solid insulator or with a metal impurity. We find a metal impurity makes much more non-uniform electric field distribution inside GIS than a small void. We also find electric field is much more increased when a metal impurity is close to solid insulator surface at high voltage conductor.

In this paper, BP learning algorithm is studied to apply as a PD source classification in GIS specimens. For occurred partial discharge, three defected models are made; floating particle, surface discharge of spacer, needle to plane. And PD data for discrimination were acquired from PD detector. And these data making use of a computer-aided discharge analyser, statistical and other discharge parameters is calculated to discrimination between different models of discharge sources. And also these parameter is applied to classify PD sources by neural networks. Neural Networks has good recognition rate for three PD sources.

In this paper, we measured partial discharge inception voltage(PDIV) and frequency spectra of UHF signal under following three cases, (1) a corona discharge due to a non uniform electric field for needle-plate electrode (2) a surface discharge caused by particles attached to a spacer in GIS, (3) free movements of particle in GIS. As a result of the experiment, it was revealed that the PDIV of Case (3) is higher than PDIVs of Case (1) and Case (2). It was also seem that UHF signal frequency spectra of one case are different from those of the other cases.

GIS is a typical power equipment with higher reliability. It is compact and safe because all the energized parts are enclosed by a sealed cylindrical tank which is filled with $SF_6$. Generally gas insulated power equipments like GIS are designed to have sufficient electrical strength to prevent partial discharges under normal operating condition. Despite of the careful processes in manufacturing, transporting and assembling, voids or particles can be created, resulting in partial discharges at electrically weak points. The key factors causing partial discharges in GIS are; particles, voids in solid insulation, protrusions, poor contact of metal components, etc. The particle can be attached on; spacers, electrodes, internal wall of the GIS tank. It also moves in GIS freely. Most of partial discharges are likely to occur when particles are attached to spacers. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of a surface discharge were investigated under various conditions by using simulation program of FEMLAB.

This paper presents the analysis of partial discharge signals according to the particle states in GIS, for preventing the insulation failure and recognizing the particle states. In this paper, four states of particle (particle on electrode, particle on enclosure, particle on spacer and crossing particle) were simulated. And $\Phi$-Q-N distribution of partial discharge signals was analyzed and the statistical operator of the $\Phi$-Q distribution was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the states of particle were distinguished by analysis of the $\Phi$-Q-N distribution and the statistical operator of the $\Phi$-Q distribution.

The severe conditions such as rated voltage of 800kV, gas pressure of $5kg/cm^2$ and rated lighting impulse withstand voltage of 2400kV were adopted for the design of spacers in the 800kV GIS to give a sufficient design margin. The design criteria on the maximum electric field strength of the center conductor and the insulator surface were established by considering the insulator surface characteristics, electrode area and surface effects in the unequal electric field strength of the given gap. The design parameters such as inter/outer envelope degree, thickness, inter/outer inserts, triple junction gap were determined by calculating the electric field using FLUX-2D program package and by referring to the published papers. The mechanical stress analysis was conducted on the feasible model spacers that showed good electric field distributions to confirm the sufficient mechanical design margin. The 800kV spacer designed as described above is now in the process of manufacturing.

The influence due to particle contaminated on spacer surface is remarkable in the decreasing of dielectric strength in SF6 GIS. In relation with this problem, We studied, AC flash-over voltage characteristics and breakdown mechanism are investigated under metallic and insulating particle initiated condition in SF6 gas by varying the particle position, particle shape with a plane-plane electrode. The main results are as follows $\circled1$ Influence of the flash-over voltage decrease for particle position is lowest in mid gap and is highest in separated small gap on electrode. $\circled2$ The metallic particle shape which results in the more reduced flash-over voltage, the FOV saturation moved in to the region of low pressure. $\circled3$Insulating particle less than 0.6[mm] are not almost influenced by the flash-over Voltage.oltage.

By introducing curing kinetics and chemo-rheology for the epoxy resin formulation for ultra-high voltage gas insulated switchgear (GIS) Insulating Spacers, a study was conducted to simulate the curing behavior, flow and warpage analysis for optimization of the molding process in automatic pressure gelation. The curing rate equation and chemo-rheology equation were set as fixed values for various factors and other physical property values, and the APG molding process conditions were entered into the Moldflow software to perform optimization numerical simulations of the three-phase insulating spacer. Changes in curing shrinkage according to pack pressure were observed under the optimized process conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the residence time in the solid state was shortened due to the lowest curing reaction when the curing holding pressure was 3 bar, and the occurrence of deformation due to internal residual stress was minimized.

In compared with air insulated switchgear, GIS has a high efficiency and confidence So the transformer substation can be reduced the size to 1/10. Insulation method using $SF_6$ gas has a very excellent insulation characteristics for high pressure equipment but has a characteristics that insulation heredity is changed for internal unequal electric field. So analysis of electromagnetic field in GIS is very important basic data for structure design and trouble diagnosis process. In compared with established method, SNM in this paper observes variation of the electromagnetic field with real time and get result very similar to measurement. In order to know the variation of electromagnetic field distribution for transient response for time and position, variations are observed when the spacer is bonded and metal particles are moving fast.

This paper describes investigations of the UHF(Ultra High Frequency) PD(Partial Discharge) measuring technology designed for monitoring of PD in high power apparatus. Based on the spiral antenna theory, the hole type sensor for GIS with metal flange spacer and injection type sensor for oil filled transformer are developed. The experimental results show measurement characteristics of the PD sensor for several artificial defects in gas-insulated system(GIS) and oil transformer. Moreover, we proposed the new $\phi$-f-q method for the purpose of condition assessment of high power apparatus.
