Abstract
Abstract
Predicting the electric field distribution under dc stress within polymeric insulations remains a challenge, as space charge behaviour is still difficult to understand in these materials. Charge generation is often thought to arise from injection at the electrodes. Hence, surface roughness should be taken into account, as it strengthens the electric field locally and therefore promotes charge generation at some points. A charge transport model has been developed in 2D to account for surface roughness. The model is first validated with the help of previous results, obtained with a one-dimensional charge transport model. Then, with simple shapes accounting for roughness, the simulated results show that surface roughness has a significant impact on the net space charge behaviour. The impact of shape, and size of protrusions are presented, as well as a more realistic case where a large surface of the electrode is considered to be rough.
