Surface Charge Inversion Algorithm Based on Bilateral Surface Potential Measurements of Cone-type Spacer Chuanjie Lin, Chuanyang Li, Jinliang He, Jun Hu and Bo Zhang State Key Laboratory of Power Systems, Department of Electrical Engineering Tsinghua University Beijing 100084, China
ABSTRACT To study the surface charge distribution of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) spacers for gas insulated lines (GIL), a surface charge inversion algorithm based on surface potential measurements is necessary. However, previous studies on inversion calculation of surface charge density only considered the surface potential of one side, neglecting the effect of residual surface charge on the other side of the spacer; this leads to an inaccurate inverted surface charge distribution. In this paper, the inversion algorithm methods used to determine surface charges over the past few decades were summarized, and their advantages and disadvantages were discussed. Based on the previous charge inversion algorithms, an improved surface charge inversion algorithm considering the surface potential of both sides of a cone-type model spacer was developed. The improved method was verified experimentally using a cone-type model spacer. Compared with that obtained by previous charge inversion algorithms, the charge distribution derived from the improved algorithm was closer to the situation determined from theoretical analysis. This work has practical relevance for the surface charge measurement of cone-type spacers and offers a new orientation in the surface charge analytical algorithm.

INTRODUCTION
GAS insulated lines (GILs) have become a focus in practical applications because of their large-capacity transmission, small occupied area, and stable operation [1-6]. However, there are still some problems that limit the application of GILs in high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) systems. Except for the metal particles on the surfaces of spacers in DC GILs [7-9], the charge accumulation on the spacer surface [10-13] is considered as the main factor that lowers the surface flashover voltage of spacers [14-16] in HVDC GILs. Therefore, accurate measurement of surface charge distribution is important to design effective HVDC spacers. The study of surface charge accumulation should be based on the accurate measurement of surface potential distribution. To date, several methods to measure surface potential have been proposed, such as the “dust figure” method, the optical measurement method based on the Pockels effect, and the electrostatic probe method [17-19]. The dust figure is also known as the “Lichtenberg figure”, which was derived from the phenomenon of dust movement and proposed by Lichtenberg in 1777 [20, 21].

can move in the electric field direction and be adsorbed on the surface of the spacer. The charge distribution of the spacer can be determined from the resulting colored surface. However, this method only generates an image that indicates the charge distribution. The amount of charge cannot be quantified. Besides, the motion of the dust may change the surface charge distribution, which may lead to inaccuracy of the measurement results. The optical measurement method based on the Pockels effect was proposed by Kumada et al in 1998 [22-24], which takes into account the optical anisotropy effect generated by certain isotropic and transparent optical media under an applied electric field. Although this method has high precision, it is only applicable to thin, transparent insulators. The electrostatic probe test method was developed by Davies in 1967 [25]. This method determines surface potential quantitatively based on the induction mechanism. Because of its wide availability, the electrostatic probe measurement method has commonly been used to measure surface potential [26-35]. The charge distribution on the spacer surface is then obtained by using the charge inversion algorithm. The charge inversion algorithm for electrostatic probe measurement was reported in 1967 and many available algorithms, such as the linear method [25], the λ function method [29-31], the analytical method [32], the Θ function

method [33], and the improved λ function method with a noise reduction process [34-36], have been widely used. The development history of these methods is shown in Figure 1. It is clear that the processes of these inversion algorithms are all related to the geometric structure of dielectrics. To simplify the computing process, these previous algorithms usually used planar or cylindrical samples as experimental subjects [25, 31-33, 35, 36]. However, the spacer structure is so complicated in practice that it needs to be considered to improve the precision of inversion algorithms. For cone-type spacers inside GILs, it should be noted that the surface charge of the unmeasured side influences the surface potential of the measured side, especially in locations where the spacer is relatively thin. The analytical method is based on the Maxwell equations, so it can be widely applied. At the same time, the analytical method can also be implemented in numerical calculations, providing a way to improve algorithms. In this paper, based on the reported analytical algorithm, an improved algorithm for cone-type spacers that considers the surface potentials on both sides is proposed. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this improved algorithm is proved experimentally for a cone-type model spacer. This research has practical relevance for the surface charge measurement of cone-type spacers, bringing a new perspective to surface potential measurement and the surface charge analytical algorithm.

REVIEW OF THE ANALYTICAL METHOD
Ootera and Nakanishi stated that the detected surface potential was determined by a function of the entire surface charge [32]. They proposed an analytical method based on the
basic formulas of an electromagnetic field in 1988, which calculated the electric potential and charge distributions on an entire surface. A test area was divided into several small triangular domains by applying the finite element method, as shown in Figure 2, where ni is the domain number, Si is the domain area, and i is the average surface charge density.

LIMITATIONS OF THE CURRENTLY USED ANALYTICAL METHOD
The analytical method introduced above and other commonly used surface charge inversion algorithms all focus on the discussion of the charge activity on the lateral surface of the dielectric. For a spacer with a specific form, only the charge distribution on a single surface was focused on [26-31], even though it was pointed out as early as 1988 that the charge accumulation on the unmeasured side of a flake spacer could affect the surface potential measurement results [32, 33]. Kumada has conducted excellent work on the measurement of surface charge on opposite sides of a planar insulator [37]. In this paper, to verify the effect of charge accumulation on the opposite side of a spacer on the surface potential measurement, we conducted experiments using a cone-type model spacer. Before surface potential measurement, the concave side of the cone-type model spacer was treated with corona discharge from a needle electrode under −3 kV. The electric potential distributions before and after discharge, as shown in Figure 3, were measured by the electrostatic probe test method during the entire process; the convex side was not treated. The respective electric potential distributions before and after discharge were inversed, as illustrated in Figure 4. A large number of negative charges accumulated on the concave side after corona discharge. Although the convex side was not treated, the measured surface potential image revealed a large number of negative charges near the discharge point of the

The apparent surface charge density can then be obtained. Furthermore, the practical surface charge density can be calculated [32]. This algorithm is essentially a numerical method based on the electromagnetic field theory, so it can be widely adopted for different kinds of experimental samples. The algorithm fully considers that the accumulation of charges on the whole insulator surface influences the result detected by the probe and has high applicability to practical situations. Because its calculation precision is closely associated with the geometric partitioning intensity, and there are two large matrix inversion computations in whole calculation process, the numerical implementation is relatively complicated.

concave surface. Therefore, it is clear that the potential value measured on the convex surface will be influenced by the negative charges on the concave one. As a consequence, it can be determined that for insulating sheets that are far thinner than they are wide, it is necessary to simultaneously perform an inversion calculation based on the bilateral surface sides measurements of the spacer.

IMPROVED ALGORITHM BASED ON BILATERAL SURFACE POTENTIAL MEASUREMENT
Because the thickness of a cone-type spacer is far less than its diameter [9, 10, 33, 34, 38], a cone-type model spacer was used as an example. An improved algorithm based on the bilateral surface potential of a cone-type model spacer was introduced and verified. 4.1 THE NEW ALGORITHM The main differences between the new algorithm and the old one are that the new algorithm considers bilateral surface charge and the influence of the electrode is eliminated. The improved algorithm was developed on the basis of the analytical method introduced in Section II. Assuming that there was no charge in the bulk of the spacer during the whole computing process, the charge accumulation would only appear on the two surfaces. Therefore, the algorithm can be divided into three steps: 1) Finite element division; 2) Coefficient matrix derivation; 3) Inverse matrix calculation. During finite element division, the convex and concave surfaces of the cone-type spacer were segmented simultaneously. Each domain was divided by the axis and circumference to make full use of the geometry symmetry of the cone-type spacer. The division is shown in Figure 5, where 1 – n1 is the concave domain, and m+1 – n is the convex domain, which are both located on the dielectric surface.
then the second measurement was conducted after the voltage had been applied for 30 min. The difference between the two measured results reflects the magnitude of the charge accumulated on the surface. The formula for the potential of a single finite element is:

where S is the small domain area, which can be regarded as a small rectangle when the division is meticulous enough; it should be noted that the distance between the center points of two domains rij would be different, which is determined by whether domains i and j are located on the concave or convex side of the spacer.

It should be noted that the electrode domain was not in the finite element to simplify the inversion calculation. Two measurements were conducted to eliminate the influence of the electrode. The first potential was measured when the DC voltage was applied on the spacer surface with no charge, and

The matrix coefficient here is determined by the product of the link vector between two different domains and the normal vector perpendicular to the surface compared to the coefficient matrix P. Therefore, the spacer geometry needs to be accurately measured.

The actual values of surface charges are obtained after matrix inversion twice. The main feature of this improved algorithm is that the two surface domains are included in the matrix calculation simultaneously, which provides a more realistic inversion calculation result than those obtained previously. 4.2 EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION To confirm the reliability of the effect caused by surface charges trapped on the opposite surface of the spacer, a control experiment using the new algorithm and analytical method was carried out. Considering that the main differences are associated with the surface charge of the bilateral sides of the cone-type spacer, the convex and concave potentials were measured before and after changing the surface charge density on the concave surface of the spacer. 4.2.1 EXPERIMENT DESCRIPTION Across-sectional diagram and the geometry of the cone-type spacer model used in the experiment are illustrated in Figure 6. The experimental samples were prepared according to the industrial ratio, as reported in our former publications [39, 40].

The experiment involved the following steps: 1) The concave side of the spacer was first covered by a grounded copper film, and then the surface potential distributions on the both sides of the model spacer were measured; 2) The measurement was repeated after 30 min. If the result was the same as that measured in step (1), then it was verified that the ambient environment was unchanged and does not affect the surface potential measurement; 3) A 30-mm slit was made 10 mm from the central axis of the cone-type spacer. To introduce negative charge by corona discharge, a −3 kV voltage was applied to the metal tip for 10 min. The surface potential distribution on both sides of the cone spacer was then measured; 4) After completely covering the concave side of the spacer with a grounded metal film, the bilateral surface potential distribution was measured again.
Figure 6. Model of the cone-type spacer.
A schematic diagram of the experiment setup is shown in Figure 7. The cone-type model spacer was placed on a rotating platform, which was equipped with a step motor that rotated at a constant speed. The movement of the Kelvin probe was controlled by a mechanical arm and actualized as two-dimensional motion in a plane. The Kelvin probe could be moved to the other surface of the model spacer by adjusting the position of the mechanical arm. Real-time data detected by the Kelvin probe were transmitted to the oscilloscope through the electrometer. Data were sent to the computer after being sampled by the oscilloscope. Finally, the potential distribution was derived by data treatment using software compiled by LabVIEW. 4.2.2 EXPERIMENTAL PROCESS To sufficiently contrast the new algorithm with the analytical method, the surface potentials of the convex and concave sides of the model spacer were measured before and after surface charges were introduced to the concave side.
Based on the measured results, the surface charge distributions were obtained by the analytical algorithm and improved algorithm to allow their comparison. 4.2.3 ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS Comparing Figures 8 and 9, an important difference in the results obtained by the two methods is found in Figures 8(d) and Figures 9d. In (a) and (b) of Figures 8 and 9, the surface charge distribution changed slightly after applying a voltage for 30 min. A large number of negative charges are found on the concave side facing the needle after corona discharge treatment (Figure 8c and 9c). In addition, negative charge accumulated in the corresponding domain of the convex side, as shown in (d), while the amount of negative charge accumulation obtained by improved algorithm in the corresponding domain of the convex surface in (d) was relatively small. From (e) in Figures 8 and 9, the surface charge distribution on the convex side almost returned to the initial state after recovering the concave side with the copper film.

During the experiment, only the surface charge distribution of the concave side changes. When there is no time interval between the states shown in (d) and (e) in Figures 8 and 9, the surface charge distributions on the convex side are unchanged. In addition, there is no residual negative charge on the convex surface side, as shown by comparing (b) with (e) in Figures 8 and 9. The difference between Figure 8(d) and Figure 9(d)
serves as good evidence for the effectiveness of the improved algorithm. Meanwhile, it is obvious that negative charge accumulation occurs in the analytical algorithm (Figure 8(d)); this is because ignoring the accumulation of considerable negative charge on the convex side would influence the potential distribution on the convex side. Subsequently, it can be proved that the unmeasured lateral surface charge

distribution of the spacer can affect the measured lateral surface charge distribution in the charge inversion calculation. Therefore, it is necessary to use the improved inversion algorithm that accounts for bilateral surface charge for accurate numerical analysis. It should be noted that the cone-type model spacer used in this paper is different from real spacers in terms of factors like convex slope and operating environment. For real spacers, the surface normal component is stronger and the charge accumulation phenomenon is more serious than those of our model spacer. Therefore, it is necessary to use the improved inversion algorithm that considers bilateral surface charge in surface charge measurements of real spacers.
4 CONCLUSIONS The traditional surface charge inversion algorithm is based on the electromagnetic field theory, and fully considers that the accumulation of charge on the whole insulator surface influences the result detected by the probe and has high suitability in practical applications. However, the calculation precision of this algorithm is closely associated with the geometric partitioning intensity. It was determined that for an insulating sheet that is much thinner than its diameter, it is necessary to simultaneously perform an inversion calculation based on the measurements of both surfaces of a spacer. In this paper, an improved surface charge inversion algorithm considering the surface potentials of both sides of the cone-type model spacer was developed. Comparing the traditional analysis algorithm and the improved one revealed that the results derived from the improved algorithm are more practical. An experiment using a cone-type model spacer composed by epoxy resin and aluminum oxide was carried out. The results indicated that the surface charge of the unmeasured side influenced the surface charge distribution of the measured side in the charge inversion calculation. In conclusion, the electric field distribution of a cone-type spacer depends on the surface charge distributions on both sides. Neglecting the surface charge accumulation on the reverse side of the spacer leads to systematic error in the measurement of the surface charge.
