Lightning strikes, snow, and wind are common causes of power system failures. Their
frequency of occurrence varies depending on weather patterns and seasons. Here, we …

Abstract Hybrid Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) frameworks for light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) seek accurate remaining useful life (RUL) predictions by merging information …

This is the second in a two-part paper series dealing with sea salt transportation and
deposition mechanisms, and discussing the serious issue of degradation of outdoor …

Through spatial electric field monitoring, it is expected to realize insulator pollution condition
monitoring and contamination flashover warning in a non-contact way. Therefore, in this …

The research on snow-accreted insulators have been performed in an artificial climate
chamber. However, the differences in the distribution, density and compactness of snow …

In this paper, surface degradation detection and analysis was investigated for composite
insulators under cold fog. A composite insulator was tested with different contamination …

Rain is one of the dominant meteorological factors threatening the outdoor insulation
performance of ultra-high voltage (UHV) power stations. Discharge occurring on the polluted …

Fog-haze weather can aggravate the particles deposition on the insulator surface, which will
cause pollution flashover. In this paper, the multiphysics software COMSOL was used to …

This paper modeled the dry band formation and arcing processes on the composite insulator
surface to investigate the mechanism of dry band arcing and optimize the insulator …

Polymer is an insulating substance that has become increasingly popular in recent years
due to its benefits. Light density, superior dielectric and thermal properties, and water …
