Electric field simulation of permittivity and conductivity graded materials (ε/σ-FGM) for HVDC GIS spacers [PDF]

, 2021
This paper discusses the application of the novel technology - functionally graded material (FGM), which combines both spatial permittivity (ε) and conductivity (σ) distributions with the aim to control the electric field around DC-GIS spacer.
