Esta pesquisa tem como principal objetivo apresentar uma análise do comportamento dos elementos passivos mais utilizados para compensação reativa e na composição dos filtros passivos sintonizados: os capacitores de potência. Tal análise foi focada na comparação de resultados obtidos via simulação computacional com os resultados oriundos de ensaios laboratoriais em ambiente controlado, servindo de base para estabelecer os limites de validade do modelo computacional hoje implementado em softwares comerciais de simulação de fluxo de carga e fluxo de harmônicos de uso bastante difundido no ambiente industrial. Os resultados alcançados demonstram que o modelo clássico de capacitores apresenta uma excelente precisão quando operando em condições ideais. Porém, quando operando na presença de situações adversas às ideais, o modelo demonstrou possuir limitações que serão devidamente reportadas neste documento. / This research has as aim to present a behaviors analysis of the electrical power capacitors which are used for reactive compensation and in the tuned harmonic passive filters. Such analysis was focused on the results comparison obtained via computer simulation with the results obtained in laboratory tests done in a controlled environment, providing the basis to establish the validity limits of the computational model implemented in today\'s commercial load flow and harmonic flow software simulation widespread use in industrial environments. Results show that the classical model capacitor has excellent accuracy when operating under ideal conditions. However, when operating in presence of adverse situations the classical model has demonstrated limitations that will be duly and reported in this work.

L’amélioration des systèmes électroniques pour le déploiement de l'avion tout électrique dépend de la capacité des composants passifs, tels que les condensateurs, à réduire leur volume, leur masse et leur coût, et augmenter leurs performances et leur fiabilité, particulièrement dans l’environnement aéronautique. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse a eu pour objectif l’étude et le développement de nouvelles technologies de condensateurs pour des applications avioniques. Dans la première partie des travaux, nous abordons l’évaluation de condensateurs céramique de puissance. La technologie céramique constitue, en effet, l’une des rares solutions matures capables de répondre aux exigences des équipementiers. La caractérisation, l’analyse des mécanismes de défaillance, de leurs effets et de leur criticité (AMDEC) ainsi que l’étude de fiabilité et de robustesse de composants commerciaux présentant des architectures originales (condensateurs multi-chips) ont été réalisées. Ces résultats ont été complétés par une étude plus amont sur la caractérisation de céramiques frittées par frittage flash (SPS). Les permittivités colossales de ces matériaux permettraient d’accroitre la fiabilité et la miniaturisation des condensateurs tout en conservant de fortes valeurs de capacité et de tension nominale. La seconde partie, plus fondamentale, a été consacrée au développement de nanoparticules céramique/polymère coeur-écorce pour des applications de condensateurs enterrés, opérant aux radiofréquences. La synthèse et les caractérisations physico-chimiques des nanocomposites ainsi que les procédés de fabrication de condensateurs en couches épaisses sont, en premier lieu, décrits. Une méthode de caractérisation électrique large bande a été mise au point pour permettre l’analyse des propriétés diélectriques et des mécanismes de conduction des nanoparticules. Les performances des dispositifs ont été recherchées en fonction de la température et des procédés de mise en forme. En outre, la durabilité en température de ces derniers a été évaluée. / The improvement of electronic systems for the deployment of all-electric aircrafts depends on the ability of passive components, such as capacitors, to reduce their volume, weight and cost, and to increase their performance and reliability, particularly in the aeronautical environment. In this context, the objective of this thesis was to study and develop novel capacitor technologies for avionics. In the first part of this work, the evaluation of power ceramic capacitors has been discussed. Indeed, the ceramic technology appeared to be one of the few mature solutions meeting the requirements of OEMs. The characterization, the failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) and reliability and robustness assessment of commercial components using original architectures (multi-chip capacitors) have been performed. These results have been completed by a more advanced study on the characterization of new ceramics sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The colossal permittivity of these materials could allow to increase reliability and miniaturization of capacitors while maintaining high values of capacitance and voltage rating. The second part, more fundamental, is devoted to the development of core-shell ceramic/polymer nanoparticles for embedded capacitors operating at radiofrequencies. The synthesis and the physicochemical characterization of the nanocomposites as well as the manufacturing processes of the thick film capacitors are first described. A new broadband electrical characterization methodology has been developed to analyze the dielectric properties and the conduction mechanisms of the nanoparticles. The effects of the temperature and the manufacturing process on the device performance have been investigated. In addition, the durability was evaluated.
