Session 5: Fundamentals and Applications of High Field Insulation Dielectric Discharge

Fundamentals and Applications of High Field Insulation Dielectric Discharge
“高场绝缘介质放电基础与应用”

"Discharge in High-Field Insulation Dielectrics" addresses a critical frontier in electrical engineering. As voltage levels in power equipment continue to rise and power electronics evolve towards greater compactness and power density, insulating dielectrics are increasingly subjected to extreme electric fields. The resulting discharge and breakdown phenomena have become a key bottleneck limiting the performance and reliability of advanced electrical equipment. This session is dedicated to exploring the fundamental scientific mechanisms underlying insulation failure under high fields, including charge carrier transport, space charge accumulation, and the initiation and propagation of discharge. It also focuses on applied research, such as the development of novel high-performance insulating materials, optimized insulation design, advanced detection and diagnostic techniques for discharge phenomena, and addressing application challenges in major engineering fields like HV transmission, renewable energy, aerospace, and pulsed power. The exchange of knowledge in this session will foster innovation in high-field insulation theory and technology, providing core support for the development of next-generation electrical equipment and the secure, stable operation of power systems. It serves as a vital platform for researchers and engineers in this field to share cutting-edge findings and discuss future directions.
