At present, the effect of tower-line coupling is neglected in seismic vibration control with TMD for transmission tower-line system. However, for large crossing transmission tower-line system(LCTL), the neglect can affect the performance of TMD. In this study, a typical FEM model of LCTL is established. The effect of tower-line coupling on dynamic character of LCTL is analyzed. Then, the performance of TMD considering the tower-line coupling is compared with TMD neglecting the tower-line coupling. It is concluded that tower-line coupling affect the performance of TMD significantly for LCTL.

Tower-line system of overhead transmission line are sensitive to wind. Therefore, dynamic effect of wind load should be taken into consideration, for instance, wind-induced vibration coefficient. There might be some errors in the calculation of the coefficient in accordance with ‘Load code for the design of building structures’, for its ignoring the irregular figure, scattered masses and coupling effect of tower-line system. Tower-line system is set up in virtual environment, with tower-line coupling considered, and research wind-induced vibration dynamic responses under Davenport wind speed spectrum. Random vibration theory was applied to calculate the coefficient. Whole tower was divided by hight, and calculated segment’s the wind-induced vibration coefficient seprately. Compare the coefficient from Load Code and random vibration theory, the latter with tower-line coupling effect and tower figure considered, is close to the actual.

A nonlinear finite element model of transmission tower-line coupling system including transmissions, towers and insulators is established based on ANSYS in this paper. The restarting technology is proposed to solve the vertical, horizontal and torsional galloping of the transmission conductors. Under the condition of different wind velocity, galloping of tower line system is performed to get amplitude of the transmissions and internal forces of the transmission towers. Based on the typical case, the galloping control measures of using interphase spacers and multi-point weighting are performed. Various layouts projects of the galloping control measures are carried out and the effective ones are attained.

A three-dimensional finite element model of a 500 kV high-voltage transmission tower-line coupling system is built using ANSYS software and verified with field-measured data. The dynamic responses of the tower-line system under different wind speeds and directions are analyzed and compared with the design code. The results indicate that wind speed plays an important role in the tower-line coupling effect. Under the low wind speed, the coupling effect is less obvious and can be neglected. With increased wind speed, the coupling effect on the responses of the tower gradually becomes prominent, possibly resulting in the risk of premature failure of the tower-line system. The designs based on the quasi-static method stipulated in the current design code are unsafe because of the ignorance of the adverse impacts of coupling vibration on the transmission towers. In practical engineering, when the quasi-static method is still used in design, the results for the design wind speed should be multiplied by the corresponding tower-line coupling effect amplifying coefficient δ.

Essential Properties

This paper presents the design of a novel shape memory alloys (SMAs) damper, and its application in the vibration control of transmission towers. Firstly, based on a brief introduction for the essential properties of SMAs, a kind of constitutive model, i.e., the Brinson model is established to describe the unique behaviors of the material, combined with the experiments results. And then, a novel SMA damper, with the functions of displacement amplification and re-centering, is specifically designed by utilizing SMAs’ damping capacity. To verify and evaluate the device’s performance, the FEM model of an actual transmission tower is subsequently built in ANSYS, and by embedding the theoretical model of the damper into its analysis process, the responses of the tower subjected to the natural wind are numerically calculated. The results show that under the reasonable installations, the proposed SMA damper has a good effect on the wind-induced response control of the transmission tower.

Ultra-high-voltage (UHV) cup-type transmission towers supported with long-span transmission lines are unavoidably subjected to the coupling action between the towers and the transmission lines. Therefore, investigating how tower-line coupling affects UHV cup-type transmission towers is important. In this study, three shaking table array tests of an UHV cup-type transmission tower-line system were carried out to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the coupling action between the towers and transmission lines based on the following four comparative models: a single-tower model, a single-tower model with suspended lumped masses, a three-tower-two-line model, and a five-tower-four-line model. The test results demonstrated that the tower-line coupling interaction had a significant effect on the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses, as the suspended conductor line and the suspended lumped mass decreased the frequency of the transmission tower. Under longitudinal ground motion, the model with the suspended lumped mass had the lowest peak acceleration response and the largest peak displacement response. Under the same ground motion, the four models had similar peak strains in the longitudinal direction. Under transverse-the-line ground motion, the model with the suspended lumped mass had the lowest peak acceleration response and the smallest peak responses for displacement and strain in the transverse direction; therefore, this model is inappropriate for the simulation and seismic evaluation of transmission tower-line systems.

Limit wind loads of a Concrete Filled Steel-Tube (CFST) transmission tower in a long-span tower-line system is computed. Firstly, fine Finite Element Method (FEM) model of the tower and its Multiple-Degrees-Of-Freedom (MDOF) model are built and the material nonlinear models including steel-tube and CFST are also modeled. Secondly, based on MDOF model, mean displacements under mean wind force are evaluated and the Root Mean Square Displacement (RMSD) under fluctuating wind force is also evaluated by random vibration theory. Then, Equivalent Static Wind Loads (ESWL) are computed considering the first three order modes. Finally, based on FEM model, the nodes are loaded by the ESWL and the nodal loads increase step by step in order to impel materials into plastic status until calculation can not converge. Plastic analysis shows the tower’s failure is caused by steel-tube element failure and the CFST elements have enough strength reserve. The tower’s three kinds of limit wind loads are computed based on different references and it is suggested to select the limit wind loads, whose corresponding wind velocity is 69.7m/s, as the design limit wind loads of the tower.

The effect of multi-component multi-support excitations on the response of power transmission tower-line system is analyzed in this paper, using three-dimensional finite element time-stepping analysis of a transmission tower-line system based on an actual project. Multi-component multi-support earthquake input waves are generated based on the Code for Design of Seismic of Electrical Installations. Geometric non-linearity was considered in the analysis. An extensive parametric study was conducted to investigate the behavior of the transmission tower-line system under multi-component multi-support seismic excitations. The parameters include single-component multi-support ground motions, multi-component multi-support ground motions, the correlations among the three-component of multi-component multi-support ground motions, the spatial correlation of multi-component multi-support ground motions, the incident angle of multi-component multi-support seismic waves, the ratio of the peak values of the three-component of multi-component multi-support ground motions, and site condition with apparent wave velocity of multi-component multi-support ground motions.
