PD characteristics of typical MV XLPE power cable termination defects at VLF and power frequency test voltagesFynes-Clinton, Daniel 11 October 2016 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Engineering and the
Built Environment, University of the Witwatersrand, in ful lment
of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in
Engineering.
June 2016 / It has been reported in literature that newly installed cable accessories can pass
typical commissioning tests and yet show signi cant PD activity leading to premature
failure in the long term. This research report details the partial discharge (PD)
characterisation of three arti cial defects in MV cable terminations, at both power
and very low frequency (VLF). The defects included a semi-conductor feather, a
tram line in the cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and an XLPE ring
cut. The experimental methodology involved subjecting the terminations to a
standard overvoltage withstand test, after which the PD activity was monitored,
at 0.1 Hz and at 50 Hz excitation frequencies. All the defects passed the overvoltage
test, despite some showing signi cant discharges. The defects gave distinct
phase-resolved PD patterns that are e ectively invariant of excitation frequency.
The PD magnitudes at power frequency were typically bigger than at VLF, while
the PD inception voltages tended to be lower at VLF. The PD magnitudes of
the semi-conductor feather defect surface discharges were found to increase with
increasing applied voltage, while no increase was observed for the tram line and
ring cut void discharges. The results show that common installation defects in MV
cable terminations can be suitably characterised using VLF PD measurements / MT2016

Terahertz spectroscopy of topological insulators and other 2-dimensional materialsKmaboj, Varun January 2018 (has links)
One of the major challenges for the semiconductor industry is to continue with the miniaturization of the device features, increasing the integration densities with higher operation frequency. Silicon the material of choice so far, has been arriving at its physical limits which has led the condensed matter researchers to look for alternative new material which can set the foundation for the next generation computing paradigms or lead to applications in spintronics. There has been a rising interest in so-called Dirac materials, characterized by a linear dispersion relation, giving rise to exotic physical phenomena such as high carrier velocities ~ 106 m/s and dissipationless charge transport. In this thesis, we have studied two classes of Dirac materials - graphene and topological insulators (TIs) namely, bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) and antimony telluride (Sb2Te3). Specifically, we investigate the optical behavior of Dirac materials using terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) contact-free optical technique, used to probe the low-energy excitations in strongly correlated electron gases. Chapter 1 provides a broad introduction to the field of topological insulators and graphene the various optical and electronic methods, which have been employed to explore their response. In particular the focus in on detecting and isolating the response from the topological surface state (TSS) in TIs, which are “robust”, as it is protected against backscattering by spin− momentum locking and time reversal symmetry. Various literature reports describing the current understanding of the TI field are then discussed. This sets the context for understanding the approach undertaken in the rest of the thesis, towards investigating these materials. In Chapter 2 we discuss the intrinsic plasmonic response in chemical vapour deposited (CVD) graphene and its relation to the domain size of graphene. A novel ion gel based top gate is implemented with the possibility of tuning the plasmonic resonances by ~ 70 GHz. We further employ THz-TDS to map the conductivity of graphene film on different substrates such as germanium and sapphire. In chapter 3, we investigate Bi2Se3, a representative TI using THz spectroscopy and magnetotransport measurements. The temperature-dependent optical behavior of a 23-quintuple-thick film of Bi2Se3, is used to deconvolve the surface state response from the bulk resulting in an optical mobility exceeding 2000 cm^2/V·s at 4 K, indicative of a surface-dominated response. Further, a scattering lifetime of ∼0.18 ps and a carrier density of 6 × 10^12 cm^−2 at 4 K is obtained using the THz measurements. The electrical transport measurements reveal weak antilocalization behavior in the Bi2Se3 sample, consistent with the presence of a topological surface state. Chapter 4, discusses the phase transition in a rather less considered TI, Sb2Te3, using THz-TDS. We track through a series of topological phase transitions from 3D-TI to 2D hybrid topological insulator and then a 2D trivial insulator, as function of Sb2Te3 film thickness. Reducing the film thickness further resulted in a reduced mobility suggesting that the formation of a spin-conserving scattering channel characteristic of hybridized topological insulator phase. Finally, the Chapter 5, concludes with a summary of the thesis and presents future opportunities for further research arising from this work.
