Impact of DC Voltage Enhancement on Partial Discharges in Medium Voltage Cables—An Empirical Study with Defects at Semicon-Dielectric Interface

A scientific consensus is emerging on the benefits of direct current (DC) distribution in medium voltage (MV) power systems of ships and cities. At least 50% space savings and increased power transfer capacity are estimated with enhanced voltage DC operation of electric cables. The goal of this rese...
