TL;DR: A strategy of hierarchical modelling with successive downselection stages to accelerate the identification of polymer dielectrics that have the potential to surpass 'standard' materials for a given application is proposed.

TL;DR: The most important capacitor technologies are impregnated foil-polymer film (for high voltage, high current), metalized film, ceramic, electrolytic, and electric double layer, although metalized paper is still used occasionally in "soggy foil" designs as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical sensitivity of conventional partial discharge detectors is compared with that obtained from ultra wideband (UWB) (up to l GHz) detection systems, and the comparison indicates that for relatively lossfree distributed systems, such as SF6 insulated bus, the UWB system is up to two orders of magnitude more sensitive.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown how a partial discharge (PD) within a test sample generates a signal that can be measured outside the apparatus under test, and the fundamentals of how the phenomenon generates a current in the external circuit are explained.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the effect of temperature and electric field on the field grading of resistively graded dielectric dc cable for the range of measured material properties and provide an analytical approximation for computing the field of resistive dielectrics.
