The electric field distributions along gas-solid interfaces determine the reliability, lifetimes and sizes of gaseous insulated switchgears/pipelines (GIS/GIL), which also affect the reliability of power systems. In this study, the characteristics of steady and transient electric field distributions were first introduced, followed by the concept of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The development histories of FGM applied in electrical engineering and the related optimisation methods were described in detail. The field regulation effect and fabrication technology of different FGM insulators were also compared. To overcome the limitations of traditional FGM insulators, the design of surface FGM (SFGM) was proposed, together with their preparation methods and electrical performance. Furthermore, the future development prospects of FGM and SFGM insulators for compact GIS/GIL were summarised.
