Simulation of the Spatial Correlation Between X-ray-induced Charged-particle Source Terms and Discharge-sensitive Regions in GIS
X-ray-assisted partial discharge detection can provide initial electrons through radiation ionization
thereby reducing the statistical time lag of discharges at microscopic defects and enhancing excitation and detection probability of concealed defects. In view of the ambiguity regarding radiation-induced secondary charge particle source terms under the multi-media coexistance condition of metals
gas and solid insulation within GIS
a full-scale GIS particle transport model incorporating SF
6
gas
central conductor
metal enclosure
metal inserts
and epoxy insulators is developed using Geant4 in this study. Monte Carlo transport calculation is performed for incident photons and energies of 100 keV
1 MeV
5 MeV
and 10 MeV. By statically analyzing the statistical energy deposition
γ-photon interaction processes
generation channels of secondary electron and positron productio
as well as the spatial distribution of charged particles
the formation characteristics of the pre
-ionization sources terms and their spatial correlation with potential discharge-sensitive regions are investigated. The results indicate that 100 keV photons are primarily shielded and constrained by the metal enclosure at the incident end
with secondary electrons exhibiting a short secondary range
and the pre-ionization sources terms being mainly concentrated near the enclosure and and metal inserts. At 1 MeV
Compton scattering accounts for 89.84% of the interactions
and the distribution of secondary electrons extends toward the central conductor
insulator and the regions adjacent to gas gaps. Under the GIS geometric model and incident direction conditions adopted in this paper
5~10 MeV photons render the vinicity of the central conductor the primary region for energy deposition and interactions
where electron-positron pair production also occurs.The study results can provide source-term references for parameters selection in X-ray-assisted GIS defect detection and fo radiation-discharge coupled modeling.
