Abstract

This research collects, summarizes, and explores over two hundred significant publications regarding various causes, triggers, and advances in monitoring extruded power cables, especially improvements in insulation materials under DC voltage due to electrical treeing (ET). Four research facets are the main topics of this review due to ET under DC voltage: influencing factors, various available and development techniques for improved insulation materials, physical lifetime models when ET occurs, and material recycling challenges. Several reviews and analyses have already been conducted on extruded power cables regarding ET. However, most reviews focus on the factors causing ET; some also discuss techniques for observing ET under AC voltage and developing insulation materials only, while others do not provide a comprehensive review. In contrast to previously published reviews, this paper highlights several key factors, including the causes of preconditions. It triggers for ET, leading to improvements in insulation materials, physical lifetime models that accommodate ET under DC voltage, and the potential for recyclable insulation materials. This review also provides the latest position and developments in the causes of ET, material improvement, insulation lifetime, and material recycling. This might serve as a reference for researchers looking to learn more about the real impact of these topics in the field.
