Accidents in power transmission lines under icing conditions, in particular, those of cables, cause a great economic damage in Russia. Because of the lack of the possibility to forecast and evaluate reliably the consequences of weather conditions contributing to icing of transmisison line cables, power grid services often have to go to the place of a potential accident relying on guesswork. This leads to considerable losses of time and material resources, while the average recovery time of a damaged high voltage power transmission line is 5–10 days.For the effective prediction and timely prevention of negative consequences of icing of on power line cables, an analytical model that describes the growth of ice on the surface of the electrical cable has been developed. The model is based on a widely applicable analytical model of [1], supplemented with dependence of the growth of ice sleeve on the angle between the wind direction and the cable, and on the electric field strength of the cable.The results obtained using the new analytical model and the [1], model have been compared and show that as the angle between the wind direction and the cable decreases, the intensity of the ice growth decreases significantly. At the same time, the strength of the electric field of the cable affects negligibly the trajectory of water droplets.A conclusion is drawn about insignificance of electrical field strength of the electric cable as a factor of growth of ice deposits. It is stated that the ice thickness value obtained using the developed model can be increased under specific weather conditions and design parameters of transmission lines. The obtained model can be improved by using other physical effects that affect icing of electric cables. Further, the model can be introduced in operation of energy companies to monitor the condition of power transmission lines and to carry out anti-icing activities.

Current measurement is a key part of the monitoring system for power transmission lines. Compared with the conventional current sensor, the distributed, self-powered and contactless current sensor has great advantages of safety and reliability. By integrating the current sensing function and the energy harvesting function of current transformer (CT), a time-multiplexed self-powered wireless sensor that can measure the power transmission line current is presented in this paper. Two operating modes of CT, including current sensing mode and energy harvesting mode, are analyzed in detail. Through the design of mode-switching circuit, harvesting circuit and measurement circuit are isolated using only one CT secondary coil, which eliminates the interference between energy harvesting and current measurement. Thus, the accurate measurement in the current sensing mode and the maximum energy collection in the energy harvesting mode are both realized, all of which simplify the online power transmission line monitoring. The designed time-multiplexed working mode allows the sensor to work at a lower transmission line current, at the expense of a lower working frequency. Finally, the proposed sensor is verified by experiments.

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.

A high-voltage AC double-circuit 400 kV overhead power transmission line runs from the city of Elk (Poland) to the city of Alytus (Lithuania). This international 400 kV power transmission line is potentially one of the strongest magnetic field-generating sources in the area. This 400 kV voltage double-circuit overhead transmission line and its surroundings were analyzed using the mathematical analytical methods of superposition and reflections. This research paper includes the calculation of the numerical values of the magnetic field and its distribution. The research showed that the values of the magnetic field strength near the international 400 kV power transmission line exceed the threshold values permitted by relevant standards. This overhead power line is connected to the general (50 Hz) power system and generates a highly intense magnetic field. It is suggested that experimental trials should be undertaken in order to determine the maximum values of the magnetic field strength. For the purpose of mitigating these values, it is suggested that the height of the support bars should be increased or that any individual and commercial activities near the object under investigation should be restricted.

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.

Power transmission lines (PTL) are strategic objects, the reliability of which depends on the life support of the country. Most of the currently operated power transmission lines were put into operation in the twentieth century, and by now there is a problem of assessing their technical condition, repairing them, if necessary, and maintaining them in a working condition. Defects that appear during the operation of reinforced concrete elements of power transmission lines have different localization and degree of manifestation, but typical is the destruction of the surface layer of concrete with exposure of rebar, more often at the base of the power transmission line. The aim of the work is to select the optimal composition of the repair mixture based on non-shrinking and expanding cements, ensuring reliable adhesion of the repair compounds to the concrete of the structure, which will restore the bearing and operational characteristics in the repaired reinforced concrete elements of the power transmission line at the design level.
