The aim in this project is to find a design space for a condenser type bushing given by HitachiEnergy. The design space shows which combinations of air and silicon-rubber (SiR) conductivity remain under a specified electric field strength value. This range of value represents how humidity affects air and SiR conductivity. Hitachi energy provided two different models, one with foils and one without foils. The design space for these models consists of how humidity affects the conductivity of both air and SiR. The values of air conductivity are gathered from different studies with different air humidity and external effects that affect the conductivity such as high aerosol concentration and high radon concentration. The values used for simulation will be approximated because of the different external effects and will range from 10^(−12)–10^(−13) S/m for humid conditions, 10^(−14) S/m for average humidity conditions and 10^(−15)–10^(−16) S/m for dry conditions. The range of SiR conductivity and the correlated weather conditions was given by Hitachi Energy and range from 10^(−11)–10^(−15) S/m where 10^(−11) S/m is for humid conditions, 10^(−12)–10^(−14) S/m for average humidity conditions and 10^(−15) S/m for dry conditions. For each of these combinations of conductivity the maximum electric field strength is calculated using COMSOL Multiphysics and compared to the threshold value of 2 kV/mm. Using these parameters the maximum electric field strength on the sheds of the bushing was calculated using COMSOL Multiphysics for all combinations of SiR and air conductivity. The results shows a pattern for both models. SiR conductivity must be higher or equal to the air conductivity to be below the threshold of 2 kV/mm.
