Ester dielectrics for the transition to environmentally friendly nanosecond pulsed power systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution book

Abstract

This study examines breakdown behavior of esterbased dielectric liquids stressed with impulse voltages of risetimes in the hundreds of nanoseconds, reporting breakdown voltage, field and current, comparing performance to that of mineral oil. By focusing on the potential of ester-based alternatives, this research aims to advance the development of sustainable, high-performance dielectric liquids. Such advancements could support the creation of greener and more sustainable pulsed power systems, meeting both technical and environmental demands. The work contributes to the broader goal of transitioning towards sustainable energy technologies that align with global efforts to reduce environmental impact while maintaining system reliability and efficiency.
