Luming Zhou is a PhD candidate researching at the Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory, University of Southampton.
In September 2023, Luming won the prestigious Best Paper Award at the 23rd International Symposium on High Voltage Engineering (ISH). Zhou's paper was with the titled "Breakdown Prediction Modelling of PP with Different Crystal Morphology Insulation under HVDC". The work was supervised by Prof. George Chen and Dr. Thomas Andritsch.
"Breakdown Prediction Modelling of PP with Different Crystal Morphology Insulation under HVDC". The paper introduces a 3-phase breakdown model aimed at examining how different crystal morphologies of polypropylene (PP) insulation influence its breakdown behaviour when subjected to HVDC stress. This model promises to be a tool for exploring the breakdown characteristics of polymeric insulation and facilitating the design and advancement of more robust insulation materials tailored for HVDC applications.
