镀TiO2喷嘴-筒状电极下负脉冲放电等离子体降解酸性橙Ⅱ（英文）

Many sub-products of pulsed discharge,such as ultraviolet light,strong electric fields,shock waves and active species,are effective in treating wastewater.To improve the efficiency of the discharge plasma technology in removing pollutants,adding TiO2 photo-catalyst to pulsed discharges could help.A negative-pulsed-discharge system,which has nozzle discharge electrodes with or without TiO2 coating,is used to degrade azo dye Acid Orange Ⅱ,and the effects of several key conditions(maximum pulse voltage,pulse repetition frequency,initial mass concentration of Acid Orange Ⅱ initial solution pH,treatment duration,the phase of discharge,and the existence of TiO2) on the degradation are experimentally investigated.The degradation of Acid Orange Ⅱ increases with maximum pulse voltage,pulse repetition frequency,and treatment duration,and it is larger when putting the discharge electrode on the solution surface than in air or inside the solution,i.e.the discharge in gas phase is more effective than that in gas-liquid phase or liquid phase.The degradation decreases as the initial mass concentration of the solution increases.It also relates to pH and is higher at acidic conditions than at neutral or alkaline conditions.Compared to treatments without TiO2,the ones using the nozzle discharge electrode with TiO2 coated increase the degradation of Acid Orange Ⅱ by 5 %.It is concluded that the proposed system with TiO2 added in can remove Acid Orange Ⅱ from wastewater effectively.     

局部放电射频信号与其视在放电量的关联分析(英文)

Radio frequency(RF) measurement has become a hot issue for partial discharge detection.However,its application is hampered by the difficulty to establish a relationship between the RF measurements data and apparent discharge quantity.In this paper,on the basis of an experimental model of metal protrusion,the relationship between the results of RF measurement and pulse current method(IEC 60270) was investigated.The energy,double integration,peak voltage,peak-peak voltage and the area of RF signals were plotted versus either the apparent discharge quantity or the square of the apparent discharge quantity in order to evaluate the optimal regression curve.At the same time,the impact of voltage and the distance between protrusion and plate were also investigated.The results indicate that the optimal match to a linear regression curve can be gained by plotting the RF signal energy versus the square of the apparent discharge quantity.The variation of voltage has no significant impact on the regression curve;that is,data from different voltages match one line.However,when the distance between protrusion and plate is changed,the slope of the regression curve changes accordingly;the same energy corresponds to a bigger discharge quantity.The results are significant enough to be applied in the estimation of the discharge quantity by measuring RF partial discharge signals.     

大气压下高压亚微秒脉冲激励产生的介质阻挡放电的实验分析(英文)

An experimental device is used to study the characteristics of dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)plasma excited by high voltage sub-microsecond pulse power in atmospheric air.Glass,polytetrafluoroethene(PTFE)and plexiglass are used as dielectric barrier materials.Comparatively homogeneous discharge is obtained within 130 mm diameter area in atmospheric air using the three dielectric materials with gap distances of 4.5 mm,6.5 mm and 6.5 mm,respectively.There is no filamentary discharge observed by naked eyes or by camera with the exposure time of 0.25 s.Gas gap voltage,discharge current,discharge power density,etc.are calculated by using Liu’s equivalent circuit model for pulsed DBD.These parameters are used to study the DBD characteristics.Typically,current varies from tens of amperes to hundreds of amperes in atmospheric air DBD excited by sub-microsecond pulses.The peak power can reach to MW order of magnitude.The average power surface density of 1.0 W/cm2and the average electron density of 1011cm 3can also be obtained in the discharge.Rotational and vibrational temperatures,approximately 400 K and 2 650 K,respectively,are obtained by using the emission spectrum of the discharge.This is the basic work performed for a better understanding of the characteristics of atmospheric air DBD plasma excited by high voltage sub-microsecond pulsed power source.     

大气压针板介质阻挡放电中微流注、电晕和辉光放电相互转换研究（英文）

To discuss the modes of dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) between needle-to-plane electrodes in air,DBD is generated and observed on a needle-to-plane device at atmospheric pressure air.Fast images of the DBD are taken by using a charge couple device(CCD) cinema with a macro lens,while the electrical and photo-electricity waveforms of the DBD are recorded.The current waveforms show that under an applied voltage of 3 kV,there are numerous short current pulses in both positive and negative half-periods of discharges.However,under 6 kV,there are still the numerous short current pulses in the positive half-periods,but only one wide current pulse in each negative half-period.This difference is also found in the photoelectric signals.The streamer,corona and glow discharges are observed from the images of the discharges at different applied voltages.The structure of glow discharge in the negative period is exactly the same as that of the low pressure glow discharge.However,in the positive period of discharge there is always a streamer.In the negative period of discharge,while the applied voltage increases,the transition from corona to glow discharge is observed.The progress of a transition between streamer and glow discharge at 6 kV during one period is analyzed.The glow discharge appearance is determined by two factors: the discharge current is limited to a certain extent by the dielectric layer; the charges deposited on the dielectric layer during the last half period enhance the intensity of the electric field.At an insufficient applied voltage,the cathode drop leads to no glow discharge,but Trichel pulses.     

氩气与氨气混合下的大气压介质阻挡放电(英文)

In this paper,the influence of ammonia admixture on argon discharge properties is investigated.Electrical measurements,as well as ten-nanoseconds-exposure photographs taken by an intensified charge-coupled device(ICCD)camera,are employed to confirm the existence of atmospheric pressure glow discharge(APGD)in Ar/NH3mixture.The breakdown voltage and transition voltage between APGD and filamentary discharge are studied at various ammonia concentrations.The results show that a small amount of NH3can lead to APGD due to the Penning ionization of NH3molecules by metastable argon,and the breakdown voltage increases with the growth in NH3concentrations owing to the electronegative feature of NH3.The optical emission spectrum of Ar/NH3APGD is analyzed.Besides,gas temperature is estimated at 327 K by the diagnoses of the OH(A-X)(0,0)band of the spectrum.     

空气中脉冲电压激励的表面微放电特性(英文)

The surface micro-discharge(SMD)excited by pulsed voltage in open air is experimentally studied by measuring its voltage,current,emission image,emission spectrum,and ultraviolet(UV)absorption spectrum.It is found that the SMD occurs intermittently in each cycle,and that it consists of many filaments on the surface of grounded electrode.While the applied voltage’s peak value Up increases from 1.75 kV to 7.25 kV,the discharge area keeps expanding until Up≈6 kV,when the discharge occupies all the available area.The emission spectrum of nitrogen metastable N2(C-B)and the density of ozone increase almost linearly.The ozone density decreases hyperbolically downstream of the grounded electrode due to the diffusion in open air.The characteristics of pulsed SMD are presented and analyzed as well,which may be referred by further investigations.     

裸露金属电极中的亚微秒脉冲常压辉光放电（英文）

In order to better understand the physical mechanism of sub-microsecond pulsed glow discharge with bare metal electrodes,using a one-dimensional self-consistent fluid model,the properties of the discharge at atmospheric pressure are numerically studied.The results show that,a discharge without dielectric layers,i.e.a barrier free discharge,is extinguished only with the decrease of the applied voltage.Only one positive discharge event occurs at the slope of the pulsed voltage.A stable glow of barrier free discharge can be achieved only in short durations of the pulsed voltage.The barrier free discharge always starts with a subnormal glow discharge and then evolves into a normal glow discharge.Moreover,to control the discharge stabilization better,the effects of pulse repetition frequency,pulse duration,rising(front) and falling(slope) times on the discharge characteristics are investigated systematically.It is found that the discharge is comparatively more sensitive to the repetition frequency and the pulse duration,while little affected by the rising and falling times.

Many applications of gas discharge with runaway electrons(DRE) require high-voltage pulse generators(HVPG) with very high increasing rate of output voltage(up to 100 kV/ns),long operation life and low cost.Such HVPGs have to be controlled by external computer for working in combination with other modern equipment.In this paper,some HVPGs development for DRE application in industry and medicine are described.The functional structure and operation principles are discussed for the HVPG of "PROTEUS’ line.It is shown that on different loads,the "PROTEUS" generators can produce high-voltage nanosecond pulse with energy up to 1 J,output voltage amplitude from zero to 150 kV,and pulse repetition frequency from zero to 2 000 Hz.Four models of the "PROTEUS" generators are described.The output voltage leading front duration is 150 ns for the "PROTEUS-I" model,10~20 ns for the "PROTEUS-II",2 ns for the "PROTEUS-III" and 0.5 ns for the "PROTEUS-IV".DRE parameters obtained by using "PROTEUS" HVPGs are demonstrated.Some results of DRE application in solid-state surface modification of natural textile and polymer films are shown as well.     

基于UV检测的UHV输电线路起晕电压的试验研究

Corona discharge is being detected by UV imaging detection technology at home and abroad in recent years.This technology is used in the corona tests of conductor bundles in this paper.In order to further research the corona characteristic,optimize geometry parameters and diameter of sub-conductor,and increase corona onset voltage of transmission lines,corona tests of three model conductors which are placed inside the outdoor corona cage are conducted.Corona cage could be used to simulate the corona activities on transmission lines under a low voltage and different conditions in an effective and economical way.Photon which was created by UV light as a result of corona discharge on conductors is detected by the UV detection apparatus.The photon number within unit interval,namely photon counting rate is adopted as the parameter of quantifying the intensity of corona discharge.According to the apparent change of photon number,corona onset voltage can be judged.All tests are conducted under almost same atmosphere condition.Using the method,corona onset voltage is acquired.The results indicate that the tests have a good repeatability,in other words,repeating same test twice same result can be aquired.The corona onset voltage can be acquired exactly from the curve of applied voltage vs.photon counting rate.Therefore UV detection apparatus can not only used to find discharge point exactly,but also applied on corona discharge research and live detection for power equipments.The method using in this paper is proved that is a new available method.     

空气中电晕放电与绝缘液体中流注放电的测量和分析

Insulation is one of the most important parts in a high voltage equipment.There are gaseous,liquid and solid insulations which are commonly used.In a high voltage transformer for example the insulating materials are all used.During operation of a high voltage equipment high electric stress may occur.Under extreme condition failure of the insulation may take place.Excessive electric field in air may cause corona discharges while in liquid insulation discharges may take place in the form of streamer.This paper reports experimental results on the corona and streamer discharges in air and silicone oil.The discharges were artificially generated around a needle tip in a needle-plane electrode system with gap length of 4 mm under sinusoidal and triangular voltages.The needle was made of steel with tip radius of 3 μm and curvature angle of 30°.The needle was made by Ogura Jewelry.The discharge pulses were measured using personal-computer based partial discharge(PD)measurement system with sensitivity of better than 0.5 pC.The system is able to measure discharge in time sequential.Phase-resolved analysis of the discharges was done to interpret the physical processes behind the discharges.The experimental results showed that corona discharges took place at negative half cycles.The discharges were concentrated around 270° of phase angle of applied voltage.The discharge magnitude and discharge number of corona clearly dependent on the instantaneous of applied voltage.These were strongly supported by the application of triangular voltage.Streamer discharges occurred at both positive and negative half cycles.The discharges pulses concentrated around the peak of applied voltage at phase angle of 90° and 270°.Experimental results under sinusoidal and triangular voltages revealed that streamer discharge magnitude as well as probability of occurrence was strongly dependent on the instantaneous applied voltage.

脉冲常压空气等离子体转动温度的光谱诊断

Dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) attracts lots of attentions for its great application promises,and the rotational temperature is one of its mostly important parameters.In order to measure the rotational temperature of a pulsed DBD in atmospheric air,the temperature is studied by using optical emission spectroscopy(OES).The discharge is excited by a high voltage pulse with 124 ns rise time and 230 ns full width at half maximum(FWHM) at a repetition rate of a few hundred hertz.The rotational temperatures are studied using different voltages,different repetition rates of the pulse power supply,and different gaps between dielectrics: They are in the range from 390 K to 500 K during the whole discharge.When the gap between dielectrics increases,the rotational temperature initially decreases and then increases.The rotational temperature changes complexly when the pulse repetition rate changes.When the voltage increases,the rotational temperature always decreases,which is not expected.These results allow one to predict the rotational temperature at different supply power parameters and electrode configurations,which is useful for the DBD’s industrial application.     

绝缘电极之间雷电冲击下油中放电特性分析(英文)

Looking at the problem of electrical discharge development in mineral oil, it is easy to see that most studies in this area focused on the setups of bare high voltage electrodes having a point-plane electrode arrangement. The setups with insulated electrodes are the mar- gin of these studies but it seems to be important to find the dependences between the paper insulation on high voltage electrode and parameters of the discharges initiated in the vicinity of this electrode. Hence, in this paper the results of researches intended to reveal the role of insulation wrapping on a HV electrode in the mechanism of electrical discharges in transformer oil under lightning impulse of both polar- ities are presented. This role is determined by analysis of the parameters characterizing the discharges (onset voltage, propagation velocity, time to initiation, rise-time of light impulses) and also by observation of their spatio-temporal development and oscillograms of the light emitted by their channels. The research was performed for two model electrode configurations: an electrode with paper insulation and a bare electrode which had the same outer dimensions as the insulated one. The most essential conclusion from performed experiment is related to times to initiation. These times, equal in the case of insulated electrodes and model bare electrode, indicate that the source of "weak points" of the paper-oil insulation system is the oil, not the surface of insulation wrapping or the metal.     

闪电放电通道的等离子体特性（英文）

The plasma characteristics of a lightning discharge channel are reviewed.The spectrum of the natural lightning is investigated by employing the slit-less spectrograph.It is found that the spectrum characteristics are closely related to the intensity of the lightning discharge.The lines in the lightning spectrum are classified into essential lines and characteristic lines,according to the characteristics of lightning spectra with different intensities.The characteristics of the lightning channel and the radiation of the lighting plasma are analyzed in the visible and infrared regions.It is shown that,the visible spectrum of lightning is determined by the radiation generated from the early stage to the development of lightning,while the near-infrared spectrum is determined by the radiation generated after current of lightning reaches the peak.The channel temperature and the electron density are calculated using the information obtained from the lightning spectrum.Both the temperature and the density decrease with the increasing length of lightning channel.Moreover,X-rays and neutrons are produced in the process of lighting mainly due to the pinch effects.     

大气压氦气与氩气等离子体射流形成机理的对比研究(英文)

To compare the formation mechanisms of He and Ar atmospheric pressure plasma jets(APPJs),an intensified charge-coupled device(ICCD)are utilized to observe the dynamic process of APPJ.The experimental results show that,He APPJ is first ignited,which is independent of the dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)between the two wrapped electrodes when the high voltage placed at the downstream.The intensity and APPJ length under positive discharge pulses are bigger than that under negative discharge pulses due to the space charge effect.The He APPJ is formed by the DBD development when the high-voltage electrode placed at the upstream side of tube.However,the plasma plume in Ar APPJ is formed by the propagation of DBD whatever the high-voltage electrode is arranged on upstream or downstream side of ground electrode.The difference in formation mechanism between He and Ar APPJs is mainly caused by the gas properties.Moreover,during the discharges,Ar tends to lead to thermal instability and electron Maxwellian instability.     

交直流复合电压油纸绝缘的沿面局部放电特性(英文)

The valve side windings of converter transformers bear AC, DC, impulse, and reversal-polarity voltages during operation, which could result in serious insulation problems of the equipment. By performing experiments with surface discharge model of oil-paper insula- tion at 80 ℃ under combined AC-DC voltage for 200 h, we studied the spectrums and statistical parameters of partial discharges at different discharge stages. Furthermore, some fingerprint parameters were calculated in order to estimate the development situation of par- tial discharge, while the characteristic gases dissolved in the transformer oil were measured by gas chromatography. The surface discharges in the experiments were observed using a high speed camera, and a full discharge process could be marked off into four stages as follows. ①The elementary stage. When a partial discharge occurs near electrodes, electrical charges are injected into the region near electrodes and causing bubble generation. ②Due to their high resistivity and low dielectric constant, the bubbles would bare the major part of the voltage applied to samples. Therefore, discharge happens inside the small bubbles, and it emits a lot of light. ③Micromolecules of gas are produced in discharge, and further ionization in the transformer oil takes place simultaneously when high-energy electrons collide with oil molecules. ④The carrier charge moves forward to electrodes driven by the applied electric field, till they neutralize with the charge from electrodes, and hence discharge channels are formed subsequently.     

大气压下气流中小电流放电及其应用(英文)

The paper reviews the results of investigations of the low-current atmospheric-pressure discharges in gas flow.The attention is focused on the discharges in electrode systems of coaxial plasmatron and of so-called gliding arc.It is demonstrated that a considerable fraction of discharge current is carried by a plasma column operating in a regime of normal glow discharge with occasional transitions to spark.The nature of glow-to-spark transition is discussed.Beside the plasma column,a weakly ionized gas fills in the interelectrode gap and forms a plasma jet at the exit of electrode system.The jet contains the active chemical particles that play important role in different discharge applications.The applications in plasma assisted combustion systems,for surface treatment with a usage of plasma jet,and for biology and medicine are considered.     

大气压氦气介质阻挡放电中交流驱动电压频率对击穿电压的影响(英文)

For dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)driven by AC voltage in helium at atmospheric,the relationship between the breakdown voltage and the driving frequency is experimentally investigated using a pair of parallel electrodes.The gap between the electrodes is 1 mm,4 mm,7 mm,and 10 mm,respectively.Meanwhile with an increment of 2 kHz,the applied AC voltage varies from 12 kHz to 30 kHz.In each experiment,the driving voltage increases slowly,till the helium-filled gap breaks down.Based on a number of experimental results and further analyses,conclusions are obtained as follows.(1)For a small gap(1 mm),the voltage that triggers the first breakdown(Uf)is close to the one that sustains steady breakdowns(Us).However,in the larger gaps(4,7,and 10 mm),Uf is obviously larger than Us.(2)For a fixed gap,Uf does not change significantly with the driving frequency,whereas in the gaps except the 1 mm one,Us drastically decreases with the increase of driving frequency.(3)The motion of residual space charges and the dissipation of positive column,two reasonable factors that explains asymmetrical discharges,are also main reasons for the effect of the driving frequency on the breakdown voltages.     

A cost accounting method of the Li-ionbattery energy storage system forfrequency regulation considering the effectof life degradation

The cost of Energy Storage System (ESS) for frequency regulation is difficult to calculate due to battery’s degradation when an ESS is in grid-connected operation. To solve this problem, the influence mechanism of actual operating conditions on the life degradation of Li-ion battery energy storage is analyzed. A control strategy of Li-ion ESS participating in grid frequency regulation is constructed and a cost accounting model for frequency regulation considering the effect of battery life degradation is established. The estimated operating life and annual average cost of the Li-ion ESS under different dead bands and SOC set-points are calculated. The case studies show that the estimated operating life of the Li-ion ESS under the actual operating condition differs significantly from the nominal life provided by the manufacturer under the standard condition and the full discharge mode. This paper provides an accurate costing method for the ESS participating in grid frequency regulation to help the promotion of the ESS to participate in the ancillary service market.
