With the development of the electrical power industry, the enhancement in voltage level yields new challenges to insulation of high voltage power equipment. Such challenges become even more remarkable as the compactness and the miniaturization of the equipment are required by power consumers. Accordingly, insulation safety plays a very important role in the reliable service of the equipment. Electric charges appearing in insulating material or at the material surface have been recognized as a critical reason for electric field distortion which triggers insulation breakdown failure. Understanding of the charge behaviour is thereby essential for the design and the ageing evaluation of insulation installed in the equipment. Over the past 40 years, the progresses of measuring techniques have enabled researchers the in-depth investigation of the charge dynamic behaviour and its related insulation performance. This Special Session aims to present the most recent advances in electric charge related studies including measuring technique, theory, modelling, design and especially its role in modulating the performance of insulating materials.
