Abstract

Polymeric insulating materials is the basis of electric power system and has been widely employed in various electric power system apparatus. With the emergence of net-zero carbon emission policies by 2050-2060, the eco-friendly polymeric insulation is urgent and promising in the R&D of advanced dielectric materials. This paper reviews the current progress of eco-friendly upgrade in each lifecycle stages of polymeric insulating materials, i.e. raw material, fabricating, operating, and retiring. A series of interesting and fundamental results have been summarized. Drawbacks of the current researches are discussed, and outlooks are provided for the future development of eco-friendly polymeric insulating materials. This paper is hoped to inspire some novel ideas for the development of advanced insulating materials suitable for the promotion of net-zero carbon emission technologies.
