Description
This research project addresses the need to develop advanced insulation systems for use in next generation
high voltage power transmission equipment used in on-shore and off-shore power networks in developing and
developed countries. Its seeks to explore and exploit the technological potential of recent findings that it is
possible to simultaneously and significantly improve the heat conduction in insulating materials alongside
enhancing the electrical breakdown strength to provide the prospect of obtaining new electrical insulating
materials that could revolutionise the design and operation of electrical power networks. This finding and its
consequences are contrary to accepted scientific wisdom and its novelty offers considerable engineering
opportunity. It has massive technological potential since the thermal management of power equipment is a
major issue, particularly in connection with fluctuating power flows, as in renewables generation, and that may
occur in the operation of future SMART Grids. It will facilitate the development of high perfomance power
cables with increased current and voltage ratings and improved reliability at reduced system cost.
