T1 - The influence of thermal aging on AC dielectric strength of transparent silicone rubbers for HV insulation N2 - Optical methods and monitoring systems for the PD detection in GIS, GIL and oil-immersed type transformers have been demonstrated. Very recently these methods have been extended to the detection of PDs in solid insulation materials of cable accessories. This novel application in high-voltage (HV) cable terminations consists of integrated fiber-optic sensor which requires transparent insulation materials. Therefore, transparent silicone rubbers are considered as replacement material for currently used opaque elastomeric insulation material in stress cones of HV cable accessories. For this purpose a preliminary study on the long-term stability of two commercially available fully transparent silicone rubbers was performed. Accelerated thermal aging tests were carried out for 4 hours up to 100 hours at 200 °C under a normal air atmosphere and normal atmospheric pressure. The impact of thermal aging on the AC dielectric strength of the silicone samples was investigated and additionally the optical transmittance was determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The investigation indicated that the dielectric strength value of the silicone samples was seriously reduced for long-term exposures to elevated temperatures. In addition, the UV-visible transmittance of thermally aged silicone samples was also decreased. The influence of these phenomena must be taken into account for the design of HV insulation materials, particularly under extremely high temperature operating conditions.

N2 - Der Schwerpunkt der Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Zuverlässigkeit in der ZfP lag in der Vergangenheit in Bereichen mit hohen Risiken: (Kern-)Kraftwerke und Luftfahrt. Die verantwortlichen Organisationen waren sich der Risiken sehr bewusst und beauftragten Projekte zum Verständnis und zur Optimierung kritischer Schritte während der Herstellung, des Betriebs und der Wartung. Die Anwendung der ZfP ist jedoch nicht auf diese beiden Bereiche beschränkt. Die Risiken während des Betriebs von chemischen Anlagen, Eisenbahnzügen oder Windkraftanlagen unterscheiden sich von den oben genannten, sind jedoch erwiesen. Der Regelungsumfang durch Gesetze ist relativ gering. Stattdessen sind die Betreiberverantwortung, Produkthaftung und finanzielle Risiken die treibenden Kräfte, Inspektionen durchzuführen und zerstörungsfreie Prüfungen zu nutzen. Diese unterschiedlichen Ziele und finanziellen Rahmenbedingungen beeinflussen die Praktik der ZfP. Eine Untersuchung dieser Vorgehensweise und deren Ergebnisse werden hier dargestellt.

T1 - Comparative performance tests and validation of NDT methods for concrete testing N2 - Validation of non-destructive testing methods is necessary to create a common basis where different systems can be compared and their applications and limitations be identified. This can be achieved through comparing the measurements taken by several systems used for a common diagnostic purpose under practical but controlled testing conditions. Well-designed small and large laboratory or field specimens promise such conditions. The special concrete specimen (LCS) at BAM was constructed for validation purposes, in particular, to be used for evaluating the performance of echo methods. The thickness of the specimen is varying and it contains carefully designed built-in faults, such as voids, honeycombs and tendon ducts with various degrees of grouting defects. Since the geometry and condition of the defects are known, it can be used to compare the performance of radar, ultrasonic, impact-echo. The research was conducted within the Research group FOR384, sponsored by the German Research Society DFG.

T1 - From the Lab to the Structure: Monitoring of a German Road Bridge Using Embedded Ultrasonic Transducers and Coda Waves N2 - The ‘Gänstorbrücke’ bridge between the cities of Ulm and Neu-Ulm is one of the best-monitored bridges all over Germany. In addition to an already active bride monitoring system, we have equipped the bridge with 30 ultrasonic transducers to explore the monitoring possibilities at an in-service large-scale reinforced concrete structure with continuous active ultrasonic measurements. The monitoring system is based on the detection of small changes in the entire signal, especially the multiply scattered parts of the recording, the so-called coda. Applying Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI), subtle changes in the signal can be detected and related to changing velocities in the area between source and receiver. A comparison of the results from coda wave interferometry with the strain measurements of the permanent monitoring system shows a correlation between strain measurements and CWI results. We discuss the challenges of changing environmental conditions, pose for interpretation of the results, and highlight the advantages of embedded versus externally attached ultrasonic transducers in permanent bridge monitoring, especially when coda wave interferometry is applied.

T1 - Impact of hydrogen addition, up to 20 % (mol/mol), on the thermodynamic (p, ρ, T) properties of a reference high-calorific natural gas mixture with significant ethane and propane content N2 - Injecting hydrogen into the natural gas grid supports gradual decarbonization. To check the accuracy of equations of state for hydrogen-enriched natural gas mixtures, precise density data from well-characterized reference mixtures are essential. In a prior study, we provided experimental measurements for a natural gas constituted mainly of methane and for two derived hydrogen-enriched mixtures. In the present study, being the second and final part of our investigation, density measurements for a high-calorific natural gas with significant ethane and propane content, along with two hydrogen-enriched variants (10 and 20 mol-% hydrogen) are provided. The mixtures are gravimetrically prepared following ISO 6142-1. Density measurements, conducted with a single-sinker densimeter at temperatures from (260–350) K and pressures up to 20 MPa, are compared with three equations of state: AGA8-DC92, GERG-2008, and an improved GERG-2008. Results indicate that all models perform better for methane-dominant mixtures than for those containing heavier hydrocarbons.

To address this issue, we suggest intersectoral collaboration to achieve zero plastic pollution. The outcomes of the project P-LEACH demonstrated the enormous complexity and range of potential toxic effects of plastic-associated chemicals and micro-/nanoplastics released into water from UV-weathered plastics. We initiated an intersectoral dialogue amongst scientists, manufacturers, regulators and representatives of civil society about how to alleviate the negative impacts of plastic pollution. Circular economy offers a framework for selecting non-toxic chemicals, extending product (re)use, and waste reduction, which act to alleviate pollution when applied to plastics. We suggest three measures to advance a circular economy of plastics: 1.) Increase simplicity of chemicals in virgin plastics combined with transparent information on the contents; 2.) Consider recyclability already in plastic material and product design; 3.) Foster communication through intersectoral dialogue. Major cornerstones are the provision of standardized, easy-to-use tools to characterize plastics and plastic leachates chemically and (eco)toxicologically, the enhancement of citizen awareness enabling them to make informed choices, the creation of economic incentives for manufacturers, and sector-specific regulations to provide products that safeguard environmental and human health.
