Modelling of phenomenon inside SF6 alternate gases. Presently working on the effect of three body attachment in HFO-1234-ze(E), potential candidate in Resistive Plate Chambers in muon trigger systems for CERN. Research shows variation of the number density reduced critical field strength with pressure (effective reaction rate dependence with pressure due to collisional stabilization). Also focus on the first shot anomaly in HFO owing to soot formation and the positive synergy validation in pure form at high pressures (420 Townsend reached for HFO/SF6 synergism at 40/60 mixture). Broader research on the correlation of partial discharge inception extinction model on the breakdown characteristics of C4F7N, CF10O, HFO ze/yf for highly non uniform field distributions in novel gas mixtures for SF6 replacement.

Novel Replacement of High Pressure Gas Cables (HPGC) in TenneT by analyzing electro-thermal model-related aging mechanism. Bulk resistivity, polarization and depolarization currents, conductivity and conduction currents have been analyzed by the electronics designed for the measurement. An extended Debye model has been modeled for the OIP insulation where a novel Akaike Information Criterion has been devised to formulate the polarization processes initiated to model the RC branches. This has been coupled with Dielectric Spectroscopy analysis of real and imaginary components of the permittivity and capacitance using the IDAX system which has been modeled by Cole-Cole. Finally, degradation parameters have been extracted indicating variations with thermal effect. This has been validated with the partial discharge repetition rates and inception voltages of internal discharges with thermal elevation. This has been carefully drafted and sent for journal publication. Lastly, the effect of the thermal stress on the electrical life of the HPGC insulation has been researched using a modified Maximum Likelihood Estimation on 2 parameter Weibull Distributed Data using an Inverse Power Law which revealed a reduction in the exponent 'n' of Power-law from 13 to 7 with a constant shape parameter and an increasing scale parameter, which can be extended to evaluate the remaining useful life. Initially, the working conditions of the cable were evaluated from the loading data cleaned with anomalies detected by the Isolation Forest Algorithm and then COMSOL simulation to convert the loading into dynamic temperature profile using IEC 60287, and accordingly the elevated temperatures were decided. This has been drafted into a conference paper in IEEE Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena Conference in Denver, USA.
