![]() The material characterization has revealed new phenomena that can at least partially explain the beneficial behaviour of nanocomposite insulation materials over the neat polymers. Additionally thin nanocomposite capacitor films have been successfully produced on an industrial film line. GRIDABLE project has successfully produced thermoplastic cable insulation formulations that have suitable thermo-mechanical properties for MVDC and HVDC cables. This will also ease utilisation of distributed and intermittent renewable energy sources. ![]() The new HVDC cables will allow efficient electricity transfer over very long distances, e.g., from remote low-carbon power plants. The new level of dielectric characteristics will help to manage volatility of the grid considering variety of power sources. The technical advances gained with novel dielectric material will facilitate to enhance power supply reliability. This will be proven by relevant demonstrators and prototypes. ![]() We will transfer material’s high performance from laboratory scale to pre-production scale. In the GRIDABLE project we will up-scale production of novel dielectric nanocomposite for electrical insulation applications. This will result in more efficient use of energy and materials, as well as recyclability. Moreover, thermoplastic composite will enable cost effective production of cables by extrusion. Cost and physical size of the capacitor-based systems will be reduced.Īdditionally, enhanced termomechanical properties will increase HVDC transfer capacity. When applied as insulator in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable and in DC capacitors, the composite will bring enhancement at device level compared to the state-of-the-art. We have proven in laboratory scale that the polypropylene-silica nanocomposite brings considerable improvements especially in operating-voltage breakdown reliability. In the GRIDABLE project we will introduce novel thermoplastic polymer composite materials to enhance performance of essential components of smart grid infrastructure. We have proven in laboratory scale that the polypropylene-silica nanocomposite brings considerable.
