Abstract

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.

Summary

Introduction

In operating HVDC transmission lines of a power system, the phenomenon of corona discharge is a leading cause of radiation interference (RI), noise interference (NI), and corona loss (CL) [1]. Investigation on the ion flow field distributed around the conductors receives considerable attention in the design of HVDC transmission lines. One of the main obstacles in solving the ion flow field is the nonlinearity between the electric field and space charge density. The vast majority of solutions calculate the electric field and the space charge density iteratively and the iteration process ends once the criteria are met. Wind flow affects the distribution of the electric field around transmission lines to certain degree as well. All the above-mentioned issues increase the difficulty of calculating the ion flow field
