Optimización de Recubrimiento Compuesto Piezoeléctrico Antifouling para Aisladores de Alto Voltaje en Estaciones...

Under the DC field, live contamination is more likely to deposit on the surface of insulators due to the action of the external electric field. The deposition of dirt on the surface of Ultra High Voltage (UHV) insulators can lead to the occurrence of flashover phenomena, causing significant economic losses. Due to the particularity of UHV insulators, many traditional surface anti-pollution technologies designed for normal voltage insulators are not applicable to them. In order to prevent the harm of contamination accumulation affecting the safe operation of transmission lines, in this study, tetragonal BaTiO₃ was mixed into room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber for the first time to prepare a composite coating with piezoelectric properties. This coating can use the piezoelectric effect to remove the contamination adhering to the surface of UHV insulators under a DC field. In this study, the piezoelectric properties of the prepared tetragonal BaTiO₃ were verified through material characterization. The results show that the introduction of piezoelectric fillers can significantly accelerate the dissipation of charges on the insulator surface under slight disturbances, which helps to reduce the accumulation of charged pollutants on the insulator surface. The anti-pollution performance under electric field conditions was verified through a simulation experimental device. Finally, through experiments in a real converter station environment, the anti-pollution effect of the insulator under actual working conditions was verified.
