  • Patent number: 11488741
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a high-voltage (HV) bushing comprising a condenser core configured for surrounding a HV electrical conductor. The condenser core comprises an insulation material comprising wound layers of a permeable solid material impregnated with a thermo-reversible gel. The gel comprises an oil and a thickener, the oil comprising iso-paraffinic oil in an amount within the range of 0.1-100 wt % of the oil and the thickener comprising at least one copolymer in an amount within the range of 0.1-10 wt % of the gel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8754543
    Abstract: The invention relates to power networks, and in particular to a battery energy source arrangement and voltage source converter system in such network. The battery energy source arrangement includes battery energy storage, having one or more parallel-connected battery strings and a mechanism for connecting a voltage of the battery strings to a load. The battery energy source arrangement further includes battery string voltage adapter devices connected in series with respective ones of the one or more battery strings wherein the battery string voltage adapter devices are designed to handle only a fraction of the voltage handled by the battery strings.
