Abstract Electrically charged particles in high-voltage gas insulation systems can lead to field distortion, partial discharges, and ultimately, insulation breakdowns. Despite their significance, particle charges have rarely been studied in this context. This work therefore characterizes the electric charges of metallic and dielectric particles with diameters ranging from 1 to 170 \(\upmu\)m.
1 INTRODUCTION Anthropogenic climate change has been shown to increase the intensity and frequency of heavy precipitation on different spatial and temporal scales in modeling and observational studies (Fowler et al., 2021; Westra et al., 2013). This tendency also affects the Alpine region (e.g., Ban et al., 2015; Kotlarski et al., 2023; Rajczak et al., 2013). The intensification potentially leads to more flash floods, erosion, landslides, and debris flows.

With today’s widespread internet usage, the total electricity consumption of its infrastructure (networks and data centres, but not consumer devices) is significant, namely around 500 TWh per year or 2.5% of worldwide electricity consumption.
