How weather got its words: a history of meteorological English – Part 1: Old English to the Age of Discovery

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We

Organic Representation as a Critical Media Approach to Leadership Studies in Popular Culture

open access: yesNew Directions for Student Leadership, Volume 2025, Issue 185, Page 75-80, Spring 2025.
ABSTRACT This article applies the critical media concept of organic representation to leadership studies as an analytic of how various creators in popular culture today are not just writing inclusive storytelling but, more notably, modeling new modes of production and self‐presentation that are actively challenging hegemonic industry practices and ...

Development of ± 550 kV DC GIS Basin Insulator

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The basin insulator is a core component of the insulation system for ± 550 kV gas‐insulated switchgear (GIS). This paper, using a finite element method for multi‐physics simulations of electric–thermal coupling, determines a geometry suitable for the industrial production of ± 550 kV GIS basin insulators.

Comparison of Dielectric Recovery After Arc Burning in SF6 Gas and Its Potential Alternatives

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) exhibits exceptional insulating properties, it is a potent greenhouse gas. Therefore, studying alternatives to SF6 is critical for developing environmentally friendly high‐voltage electrical equipment.

Rare Lightning and Convection Characteristics During Two Successive Tornadoes in Southern China

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systematic investigations into lightning characteristics of tornado storms in China remain scarce. This study comprehensively analyses rare lightning behaviour and overshooting top characteristics for two successive tornadoes during a long‐lived supercell in southern China on 27 April 2024.

Investigation of the Evolution Mechanism and Multiphysics Coupling in Tree‐Contact Single‐Phase‐to‐Ground Fault

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tree‐contact single‐phase‐to‐ground fault (TSF) is a common and hazardous type of failure in distribution networks. TSF is likely to occur when overhead conductors contact moist tree branches, potentially leading to insulation breakdown, posing serious threats to grid safety.

Mechanism of Quasi‐Power‐Frequency Resonant Overvoltage Triggered by Multiple Lightning Strikes in High‐Voltage Alternating Current Systems Equipped With Shunt Reactor

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the generation mechanism of quasi‐power‐frequency resonant overvoltage triggered by multiple lightning strikes in high‐voltage alternating current (HVAC) systems equipped with shunt reactors. Based on field measurements from a 500 kV AC system, equivalent and simplified circuit models have been established to analyse ...

Study on the Coupled Effects of High‐Speed Airflow and Charged Sand on Power‐Frequency Discharge Characteristics of Conductor–Tower Gaps in Strong Wind–Sand Environments

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strong wind–sand weather in Xinjiang threatens power grid safety by increasing transmission line tripping risks. Existing studies focus on sand polarization but neglect the coupled influence of high‐speed airflow and charged sand on gap discharge characteristics.

Comprehensive Design and Experimental Validation of 30 kV Ultra‐Fast Flexible Controllable Arresters for HVDC Systems

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To effectively suppress transient overvoltages in HVDC systems, the design and experimental validation of a multi‐module series controllable arrester are presented. The voltage‐limiting performance, series voltage equalisation capability, and robustness under fault conditions in high‐voltage scenarios require further research.
