Charge accumulation at the gas-solid interface of DC gas insulated switchgear/gas insulated transmission lines(GIS/GIL) insulation systems is a primary cause of localized electric field distortion and induced surface flashover
posing a serious threat to long-term operational reliability. Extensive research has been conducted worldwide on charge regulation methods at the gas-solid interface of insulators. Among these
surface modification techniques hold broad application prospects for DC GIS/GIL insulators due to their advantages of preserving the volumetric properties of solid insulating materials
simplicity of operation
and low costs
making them a current research hotspot. This paper reviews surface modification methods for controlling gas-solid interface charge in DC GIS/GIL insulation systems. This paper first summarizes research achievements in methods such as surface grinding
direct fluorination
and plasma treatment of insulating materials by domestic and international scholars. Second
this paper focuses on the currently widely studied surface coating methods
and summarizes significant research progress in functional surface coating techniques for gas-solid interface charge control. Finally
this paper outlines core scientific and technological challenges that remain to be addressed in surface modification methods for gas-solid interface charge regulation.
