Simulation Results

The transmission line corridor will inevitably cross the icing area in China. Icing will influence the corona characteristics of transmission lines. In order to deeply analyze the influence law of the icing to corona loss characteristics, an icing test platform that can be utilized to simulate icing conditions was built. Icing test was done in the corona cage of 1.8m×1.8m×4m. Through changing the conductivity of freezing water and the length of icicle, corona loss of the icing conductor was measured and the surface electric field was also simulated with the software ANSYS. The results show that the length of icicle is an important factor affecting the corona loss of the AC conductor and the conductivity of freezing water on that impact is not obvious. Owing to the icicles, the distortion of the conductor electric field is serious. With the increase of icicle length, conductor corona loss value increases significantly. When the length of icicle increases to about 18mm, the increase of the corona loss value is no longer obvious trending to be saturated . The simulation results coincided with the experimental results very well.
