This paper aims is devoted to modeling and simulation of electric field created by EHV power transmission line of 275 kV using an efficient hybrid methodology, the charge simulation method (CSM) with the Simplex Simulated Annealing (SIMPSA) algorithm in order to find the optimal position and number of fictitious charges used in CSM for an accurate calculation. Various factors that affect the electric field intensity were analyzed; it is found that the influence of the conductor sagging is clearly remarked, the maximum electric field strength at 1 m above the ground level recorded at mid-span point of the power line is 3.09 kV/m, in the proximity of the pylon, the maximum value is significantly reduced to 1.28 kV/m. The configuration type of the transmission line (single or double circuit) and the arrangements of phase conductors on double circuit pylons have a significant effect on the levels of electric field around the transmission line. For a single circuit, the triangular configuration provides the lowest maximum value of electric field. For a double circuit, the inverse phase arrangement (abc-cba) or low-reactance phasing produces the lowest maximum value of electric field. The resulting maximum electric field levels were found below the exposure values set by the ICNIRP and IRPA standards for both occupational and general public. The simulation results of electric field are compared with those obtained from the COMSOL 4.3b Multiphysics software, a fairly good agreement is found.

We present an overview, based on satellite observations at low Earth orbits, on electromagnetic radiation from ground power transmission lines at an industrial frequency 50–60 Hz. Particular attention has been given to Chibis-M and DEMETER satellite observations. The electric 40-cm antenna of the micro-satellite often recorded 50–60 Hz radiation (known as Power Line Emission (PLE)) when it flew over industrialized areas of the planet. The PLE spectral amplitude varied from 1.2 to 18 (μV/m)/Hz0.5, which corresponds to the electric field amplitude E~1 μV/m. We report results of numerical calculations of the electromagnetic response of the atmosphere and ionosphere to a large-scale surface emitter at a frequency of 50 Hz. According to simulation results, PLE with an intensity of ~1 μV/m observed on satellites in the nightside ionosphere at midlatitudes can be excited by an unbalanced current 8–10 A in a power transmission line above the earth's crust with conductivity of 10–3 S/m. At middle and low latitudes with an inclined geomagnetic field, the maximum response in the upper ionosphere to the transmission line radiation should be seen shifted equatorward, although this shift is less than that upon guidance by the geomagnetic field. The maximum amplitude of the electromagnetic response of the ionosphere to the power transmission line emission decreases for an inclined geomagnetic field, but insignificantly. To date, the PLE intensity in near-Earth space has turned out to be higher than the intensity of natural radiation in this range (Schumann resonances and ion whistlers), and continues to grow with the technological development of mankind.

The article presents portable timers-electricity meters (PTEM) which are devices for examining 0.4 kV power lines. There are two developed several versions of the devices: single-phase PTEM used to examine single-phase branch lines to consumers, and three-phase PTEM used for any power line sections. Also, the method to identify sections of power lines with increased electricity losses by means of these devices is presented. The paper considers the application of the three-phase PTEM with Wi-Fi technology to transmit data. Up to six independent three-phase PTEMs with Wi-Fi technology can be installed at different points of the power transmission line and transmit measured data in real time to the central unit. The use of these devices allows determining both technological and commercial losses of electricity in different power line sections and draw conclusions about whether these losses are overestimated. On the basis of this, measures are taken to reduce losses.

AbstractIn Lithuanian and Polish electric power supply systems, the power transmission lines of 400 kV voltage represent one of the most potential sources of electric and magnetic fields generation. The 400 kV double-circuit overhead power transmission line and its surrounding environment were herby described and simulated through Finite Element Method usingCOMSOL Multiphysicsoftware package. This study includes magnetic and electric field calculations. The study shows that the values of magnetic field strength and electric field strength present in the vicinity of a 400 kV overhead power transmission line tend to exceed limit values established in the Normative. Measurements are suggested to be taken for the purpose of finding maximum values of magnetic and electric field strength. To reduce these values, it is recommended to increase the height of supports, and restrict human personal and economic activities.

Numerical methods play an important role in the computation of electric fields for the study of electric fields related to high voltage applications. Charge Simulation Method is one of the numerical methods that can be used as an approach to computate the distribution of electric and magnetic fields in a live conductor. This paper discusses the modeling of the electric field around the distribution double feeder 3B construction network using Matlab to determine the safe threshold distance of the influence of the electric field for humans. Simulation experiments are carried out on each phase of the conductor with the distance of each phase adjusted according to the applied construction to PLN. The results showed that the simulation using MATLAB on the distribution of 20 kV double feeder construction of 3B, value of the maximum electric field at an altitude of 1 meter or at an average height of humans, has a magnitude of 1.54 kV / meter. The magnitude of this field is smaller than the minimum WHO and SNI standards, so it is still safe for humans.Keywords: electric field, charge simulation method, distribution network, 3B double feeder construction distribution

To determine the results of the transmission of electrical energy through the power line from the source to the consumer, it is necessary to have accurate information about the parameters of such line. Determining these parameters for operating lines with a minimum error is quite a laborious process. But if a researcher is interested only in voltages and currents at the end and at the beginning of a homogeneous section of a three-wire transmission line, then it is sufficient to use the theory of multipoles. In particular, the theory of eight-poles. The article presents the method of experimental determination of the longitudinal and transverse parameters of the studied transmission line. The study used the methods of natural experiment using an appropriate fleet of electrical devices, and methods of indirect measurement of the desired parameters. The experiment consists of six stages; on the basis of the obtained data, it becomes possible to determine the numerical values of the main parameters of the studied section of power transmission lines, with which it is possible to establish a quantitative relationship between the input and output characteristics of electrical energy. In addition, the described method, in principle, can be applied to the analysis of active eight-terminal networks of a similar design. This means that the proposed methodology can provide a comprehensive analysis of the studied object and will help to identify the parameters of an overhead power line at the construction stage or for its connection to the consumer. The article presents the experimental setup scheme, describes the experimental methods, and estimates the error of the calculation results.

In this work, the ion flow field of a monopolar transmission line inside the corona cage of a square cross-section is iteratively calculated concerning the effects of wind. The electric field distribution is solved analytically using the charge simulation method (CSM). Meanwhile, the upwind finite volume method (UFVM) with 2nd order accuracy is presented for the distribution of space charge density. Additionally, a dual mesh grid is established in the calculation domain, the interlaced geometric construction of the mesh assures a quick and effective convergence rate. In the final part, a reduced-scaled experiment is designed to examine the feasibility and accuracy of this approach, electric field and ion current density on the bottom side are measured by field mills and Wilson plates. The data numerically computed fits well with that acquired by measurement.
