In this paper we investigated the partial discharge distribution using the K-means clustering according to the needle of tilt and void at the cross linked polyethylene(XLPE) insulators. As a result, the specimen with tilt $45^{\circ}$ has highest breakdown voltage and the specimen with air void has lower breakdown voltage than the specimen with on void. In K-menas clustering distribution of clusters concentrates at inception condition, but the distribution spreads widely at breakdown.

Solid insulation exposed to voltage is degraded by electrical tree process. And the degradation of the insulation is accelerated by voltage application. For this experiment, specimens of electrical tree models were made by three types of XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). And distribution characteristics of degraded stages are studied too. As a method of detecting and data process, discharge data was acquired from PD detecting system (Biddle instrument). And microscope and digital camera were used to observe the morphologies of the electrical tree to divide stages of the tree. The system presents statistical distribution as phase resolved. Moreover the processing time of electrical tree is recorded to know the speed of degradation according to voltage.

디스플레이용 기판으로 사용하고 있는 유리기판은 무겁고 깨지기 쉬우므로 이를 폴리설폰, 폴리에테르설폰, 폴리카보네이트, 폴리에틸렌테레프탈레이트 환상형 올레핀 고분자 등의 플라스틱으로 대체하는 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 플라스틱 기판은 가볍고, 내충격성이 뛰어나며, 유연하고 연속가공이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 여러 유기용매에 녹는 특성을 가지고 있다. 디스플레이 제조 공정에서는 여러 유기용매에 노출되므로 이에 대한 내화학성이 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 폴리설폰에 곁가지로 이미드 가교기를 도입하여 내화학성을 향상시키는 연구를 하였다. 곁사슬기에 의해 가교된 폴리설폰 필름은 용해도 조사 결과 내화학성이 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 내화학성 측정 결과 MeOH, THF, DMSO, NMP 등의 유기용매에 불용성을 보였다. 또한 15% 이상 낮은 열팽창계수를 보여 열에 대한 치수안정성이 개선되었으며 유리 전이 온도도 이미드기의 도입에 따라 $180^{\circ}C$ 에서 $252^{\circ}C$ 로 증가하였다. 이와 같이 제조한 이미드 곁가지로 가교된 폴리설폰은 광학적 특성이 우수하면서도 내화학성이 뛰어나 유연성 플라스틱 기판으로 사용이 가능하다.

The cross-linked polyethylene(herein after XLPE) insulated power cable emit the methane($CH_4$)gas in the course of chemical cross-linking process. The general stranded conductor easily discharge this methane gas through the gap of each stranded wires. But the special stranded conductor that filled with semi-conducting rubber compound to prevent water penetration which is applied to water proof type of cable(22.9kV CN/CV-W), disturb the methane gas emission. The pre-mold type cable joint shall be expanded gradually by emit of gas left in XLPE insulation. For example, sometimes the corona problem outbreak on a new power distribution line, resulted from the gap between the sleeve and semi-conductive layer of cable joint. If above mentioned problem especially happened on the way of operating. We have to shut down the line and try to discharge the methane gas in cable joint. In this point, we would like to explain the mechanism of methane gas & cable joint and our test result briefly. At last, we are pleased to introduce the solution for preventing reoccurrence of this problem.

A cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) material has been widely used to develop a distribution power cable due to its excellent electrical characteristics and mechanical strength. However, several problems such as environmental disruption, electrical aging, thermosetting property, and impurities which cause degradation also arise. Therefore, a novel dielectric material should be developed to substitute for the XLPE. Several kinds of polyolefin materials to substitute for the conventional dielectric material, XLPE are developed and A cylindrical rod to cylindrical rod electrode system made with stainless steel is used to perform the experiments according to the ASTM D-149 protocol under an AC and Impulse input voltage condition. The experimental results are calculated by the Weibull distribution method and analyzed by an Finite Element Method(FEM). Finally, the dielectric characteristics of the conventional XLPE and novel polyolefin are experimented compared with each other in this study.

Background: Glutaraldehyde (GA) is a widely used cross-linking agent for improving mechanical properties and resistance to enzymatic degradation of collagenous tissue, but it has several drawbacks such as calcification and cytotoxicity. The aim of this study was to find the alternative effective cross-linking methods to GA. Materials and Methods: Bovine pericardium was processed with GA with ethanol+octanol and glycine detoxification, and polyethylene glycol (PG) space filler, dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate (DTBP), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) treatment, and the physical fixation of ultraviolet irradiation were done. The biologic material properties of variously treated pericardial tissues were assessed by biochemical, mechanical and histological tests. Treated pericardial tissues were also implanted subcutaneously or intramuscularly into the rabbit for 10 weeks to assess the xenoreactive antibody response of immunoglobulin G and M, their anti-calcification effect. Results: The biochemical and mechanical properties of EDC fixed pericardial tissues were comparable to the GA fixed tissue. The cytotoxicity was lowest in space filler treated GA fixed group. In rabbit subcutaneous or intramuscular implantation models, decellularization, space filler, EDC treatment group showed significantly lower calcium content than GA only and DTBP treatment group (p<0.05, analysis of variance). The titer of anti $Gal{\alpha}1-3Gal{\beta}1$-4GlcNAc-R antibodies did not change in the postimplantation serial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Hematoxylin and eosin and von Kossa staining showed that decellularization, space filler, EDC, and ultraviolet treatment had less inflammatory cell infiltration and calcium deposits. Conclusion: The decellularization process, PG filler, and EDC treatments are good alternative cross-linking methods compared to GA only fixation and primary amine of DTBP treatment for cardiovascular xenograft preservation in terms of the collagen cross-linking stability and in vivo anti-calcification effects.

The pipes used in buildings are generally categorized into metallic or plastic materials. Metal pipes, such as copper and stainless steel pipes, are mainly used for water and hot water supply, and for the heating system. However, plastic pipes made of polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene are used for floor heating, water drainage, and air vent systems. Usually, plastic pipes have thermal demerits, such as high linear expansion coefficients and bending phenomenon by hot water, although the pipes have several merits of light weight, low price, low thermal conductivity, and the comparatively high workability of metal pipes. Therefore, if those kind of demerits are overcome, plastic pipes can be easily accepted for hot water systems. This research is aimed to evaluate the applicability for vertical heating pipes of a plastic pipe system consisting of electric fusion fitting of a conductive carbon compound and propylene random glass fiber pipe, through measurement of the expansion rate and leakage in summer and winter seasons, in the apartment construction field.

The potential of nanocomposites have been drawing the intention of the researchers from energy storage to electrical insulation applications. Nanocomposites are known to improve dielectric properties, such as the increase in dielectric breakdown strength, suppressing the partial discharge (PD) as well as space charge, and prolonging the treeing, etc. In this review, different theories have been established to explain the reactions at the interaction zone of polymer matrix and nanofiller; the characterization methods of nanocomposites are also presented. Furthermore, the remarkable findings in the fields of epoxy, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanocomposites are reviewed. In this study, it was observed that there is lack of comparison between results of lab scale specimens and actual field aged cables. Also, non-standardization of the preparation methods and processing parameters lead to changes in the polymer structure and its surface degradation. However, on the positive side, recent attempt of 250 kV XLPE nanocomposite HVDC cables in service may deliver a promising performance in the coming years. Moreover, materials such as self-healing polymer nanocomposites may emerge as substitutes to traditional insulations.

Exploitation of equipment with cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation requires its condition monitoring and diagnostic. Traditionally diagnostics of insulation is carried out by means of partial discharge detection. Many researchers have developed a lot of methods to identify the defect by the PD form. However, such identification of a defect, for example, void, inclusion or treeing, does not say about its danger from a point of view of full insulation gap breakdown and insulation construction failure. The information about the form and size of formed upon high voltage treeing is necessary for prediction of the remained resource of XLPE insulation. For this purpose we carry out experimental research for determination of the dependencies between PD characteristics in XLPE upon time and three dimension PD patterns of corresponding treeing. The investigations were carried out by means of electrical measurement of PD current and simultaneous optical recording of treeing image. Test results show that the PD patterns can be applied for detecting tree growth well.
