Abstract

The application of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) in the solid insulation of high voltage apparatus is discussed. Firstly, the concept of FGM and its effect on electric field (E-field) optimization is introduced. Secondly, optimization of permittivity FGM (e-FGM) insulator is studied. A numerical technique for the optimization of permittivity distribution in e- FGM spacer is proposed and simulated on three typical spacer models, i.e. cone type, disk type and basin type. It is confirmed that the FGM application could significantly improve the E-field distribution. Moreover, the effect of the shrinking coefficient in the algorithm is discussed. Finally, concept of a novel fabrication method for FGM spacers is proposed based on the rapid- developing 3D printing technology. The process and advantage of this 'bottom to up' method is discussed.
