Prospect of Computational High Voltage Engineering

CHVE,multi-physical field coupling,discharge modeling,computing method,measurement technologies

With research and development of high voltage technologies, electrical materials, computational simulation technologies, and plasma physics, the concept of the computational high voltage engineering (CHVE) is proposed, as a new discipline, to solve or explain practical problems of high voltage engineering with support of applied mathematics and computer science. This paper introduces the technical and engineering application drivers of CHVE, elaborates its definition, research scope and discipline architecture, and then discusses the theoretical research foci and potential engineering application of this subject. CHVE will cover the study of discharge modeling, computation of multi physical field coupling, application of cloud computing and super computers, 3D printing of insulation components, and the precision testing and measurement of multi physical fields and discharge. On this basis, we look forward to future development of CHVE and its challenges.
