“…FEM is the most effective method to be used in this work to deal with the random non-linear shapes such as ET shapes in the presence of boundaries. Based on the mesh generation analysis, FEM can simplify the complex problems into small elements to facilitate the operational analysis mode [20][21][22][23].…”

In this research, digital image processing method (DIPM) is used as an innovative approach to predict precisely the shape of electrical tree (ET) in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) power cables in the presence of air voids based on the field calculation using finite-element method (FEM). With the help of DIPM, two case studies are held to detect the accurate parameters of either the first initiated major branch or the tips of the major branches of ET. A hyperbolic needle-to-plane simulation model is proposed to illustrate the ET inception and propagation stages. The non-uniform electric fields thatare accompanied with the electrical treeing phenomenon are calculated using FEM as one of the most effective numerical methods to deal with non-uniform shapes. The predicted shapes of ET initiation and growth are provided in an innovative manner with the implemented hybrid connection between FEM and DIPM for the two proposed case studies. Direction branching approach and deviation angle branching approach are provided in this work to predict the shape and the direction of ET branched voids. The validity of the proposed model is assessed with the help of available previous experimental and simulation data.

“…Numerical methods are classified as the magic tools to deal with the complicated mathematical and physical problems like the scope of this research. These methods are categorised into two major branches according to the computational domain and operational equations; open domain methods with the solution of integral equations without any restrictions in calculations but with less accuracy to be used alone without the application of artificial intelligence methods such as the Charge Simulation Method (CSM) approach and the constrained domain methods with the solution of differential equations to treat with any random nonuniform shapes such as Monte Carlo Method (MCM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) approaches [22].…”

“…As the proposed model in this work is bounded area and associated with a complicated random shape of ET, FEM is the most effective numerical method to be used in this case study. Regarding to mesh generation approach, FEM analysis can simplify the complicated problems into small elements to facilitate the analysis under the satisfaction of the applied constraints [20][21][22][23].…”

This paper investigates the effect of the voltage variations and the change of solid insulation material on the initiation and propagation of Electrical Tree (ET) through solid dielectrics based on the application of Finite Element Method (FEM) approach using the environmental domain of [COMSOL Multiphysics ] program as an innovative way to be used in the complicated study of Electrical Treeing Phenomenon (ETP). This research provides an innovative solution to suppress the initiation point of ET and suppress its growth rates using a composite solid insulation material of Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) regardless to the mechanical features of this composition. In this research, the study cases are conducted for High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) power system networks as the effect of ETP is to be observed clearly. The simulation model is used in this research to imitate the proposed hyperbolic needleplane system. Case studies are compared between each others to validate the results

“…First attempts to investigate discharges on the basis of particle-in-Cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) models were done for nitrogen within one-dimensional configuration space [19]. PIC/MCC models in two dimensions assuming cylindrical symmetry were used to investigate streamer formation in atmospheric pressure nitrogen [20][21][22], radio frequency discharges [23], and to analyze runaway electrons [24][25][26], space charge effects in resistive plate chambers [27] and point-to-plane corona discharge in nitrogen [28]. Furthermore, 3D PIC/MCC simulations were conducted in high-pressure electronegative gases with focus on laser-triggered gas switches [29].…”

We systematically investigate the avalanche-to-streamer transition (AST) over a wide range of pressures and homogenous background electric fields and for a comprehensive list of gases, namely pure nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, argon, sulfur hexafluoride and synthetic air. The discharge starts from an initial seed electron and is temporally followed from the avalanche regime, through the first significant distortion of the background field and the subsequent increasing deviation from the Gaussian electron density profile, up to the occurrence of runaway electrons accompanied by the sudden and dramatic increase of electron energy and electron number multiplication. We detect weak influence of the background electric field value and the gas composition, but strong influence of the gas density on the electron number at which the transition occurs. The simulations are performed by means of a fullyinteracting particle simulation program that combines a particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision model (PIC/MCC) with a three-dimensional Poisson solver in order to account for the space charge generated by the electrons and ions. The freely-available program is based on the METHES code and is universally applicable to arbitrary gas mixtures with complete cross section sets.
