Surface Structural Characterization of Polymer Composite Insulators for Improved Weather Resistance
Award Summary: To date, testing of some materials such as silicone and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubbers has been carried out, and some general findings exist, but it remains to be understood how the materials respond to weathering under their electrical load. In this project, a combination of surface-specific spectroscopy, microscopy, and macroscopic measurements…
Finalist for Innovation Excellence for Hardware
Victoria Tech Community Awards Listing Event Date: December 8, 2022 Victoria, BC Globally, transmission energy losses are approximately 8% of the total power transmitted – equating to over 13,000 TWh. Reducing these losses by even 0.1% with superior insulator technology could result in emission reductions of 4+ million tonnes of CO2e – equivalent to the CO2e emissions from 450 million gallons of gasoline. Our…
