Convolutional neural networks-based multi-sensor data fusion analysis for transmission lines

Abstract With the development of the power system, accurate assessment and fault diagnosis of the health status of transmission lines have become increasingly important. However, the standard data fusion algorithms do not fully exploit the correlation and weight disparity among multiple sensors. This study proposes a technique for analyzing transmission lines using a convolutional neural network-based approach to address this issue. By fusing data collected from multiple sensors in different directions, it can more accurately capture key information about transmission lines and conduct comprehensive analysis to evaluate their health status.

Solution and numerical simulation of thermal-structural characteristics model of wire deflagration based on partition coupling time domain propulsion method

The dynamic analysis of transmission lines under the thermal shock load of mountain fire is a complex nonlinear coupling problem of thermal structure. Taking the transmission line as the research object, based on the temperature rise model of mountain fire deflagration space, considering the temperature characteristics of the wire, the mathematical model of the thermal structure coupling characteristics of the wire deflagration is established. In this paper, the partition coupling time domain propulsion method is used to solve the problem. Through MATLAB programming and ANSYS secondary development, the transient characteristics and dynamic response of the coupling effect of the heated structure of the LGJ-400/35 wire with a span of 100 m under different positions and numbers of deflagration points are simulated. It is concluded that the temperature rise rate is positively correlated with the displacement rate and negatively correlated with the stress reduction rate. When the temperature rise rate increases by 0.1 °C/s, the displacement rate increases by 0.0004 m/s. The global deflagration is the most unfavorable mountain fire condition, and the temperature rise rate and displacement rate of the wire under this condition are about 1.3 and 1.9 times that of each single deflagration point condition. The wire temperature is symmetrically distributed with the detonation point symmetrically arranged relative to the mid-span.

Green-prepared high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption Ni6W6C/Co2O3@C composites and related broadband absorption device

In recent years, the synthesis of absorbing materials using green and environmentally friendly natural raw materials have become a research topic, but green and environmentally friendly materials with both high performance and simple synthesis steps still need to be developed. In this work, glucose and metal organic framework (MOF) were used to prepare composite materials with strong absorbing ability and low cost. We chose glucose, which is convenient to purchase on the market, as the raw material and constructed MOF derivatives with carbon shell skeleton nanostructures through a simple method of hydrothermal and annealing. Compared to the raw materials of traditional absorbing materials, glucose has environmentally friendly, low-cost and green characteristics. We characterized the microstructure and morphology of the material. In addition, we also analyzed the material composition and absorption mechanism of Ni6W6C/Co2O3@C. We have found from the theoretical analysis and simulation results of transmission lines that the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of Ni6W6C/Co2O3@C material at 5.43 GHz and 4.76 mm is −56.68 dB. And the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) at 2.04 mm can reach 7.12 GHz. We load the best sample to the honeycomb structure, a broadband microwave absorber was designed for simulation. The results show that the broadband microwave absorber can achieve an average electromagnetic wave (EMW) loss of more than 99 % in the 0.3–16.04 GHz frequency band (RL value is less than −20 dB), and an average EMW loss of more than 90 % in the 16.04–18 GHz frequency band (RL value less than −10 dB). The composite structure of glucose and MOF derivatives enhances the dielectric loss of the material and enriches various EMW loss mechanisms. Finally, a green, environmental-friendly, high-performance absorbing material with a simple synthesis method is prepared. These results provide insights into the research on EMW absorption of composite materials and new methods for referring.

Analysis of Electric Power Transmission Lines Through Graph Theory: Protecting Environmental Preservation Areas Through Strategic Planning

Electrical networks consist of generation plants, transmission and distribution substations of electrical en-ergy. Power is transmitted through towers and lines that span hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. To ensure the health, stability of ecosystems and our quality of life, we must protect the environmental areas where transmission lines intersect. Given the global challenges related to sustainability, the conservation of natural resources and the mitigation of climate change, these studies are imperative. Through graph algorithms, especially vertex degree search and depth-first search, we identify alternative routes, avoiding sensitive regions such as conservation areas within the 440kV transmission networks of São Paulo, Brazil. By reallocating energy transport, we can ensure net-work maintenance and reduce environmental impacts from potential accidents. The results highlight the sustainable planning of transmission lines, aligning energy needs with Brazilian environmental conservation efforts, including the Rio State Park Peixe, Aguapeí State Park, Itapetinga State Park and Itaberaba State Park. Combining existing environmental laws with the promotion of sustainable technologies and practices, promoting more efficient use of resources while protecting the environment.

A numerical approach for nonlinear transmission line analysis with bidirectional coupling to lumped-element and particle-in-cell models

In this article, an iterative method for nonlinear transmission lines (TLs) based on the Lax-Wendroff method has been established to describe a bidirectional coupling model of nonlinear lumped-element models, nonlinear transmission line models, and particle-in-cell (PIC) models. The proposed self-consistent global circuit model is achieved through the introduction of the charge conservation equation at the upper plate as the Robin boundary condition and its coupling with the PIC method used for plasma simulation. The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated through five numerical experiments, including nonlinear transmission line coupling to lumped circuits, and the most general case of plasma-TLs-lumped elements model (LEM) coupling systems. This non-linear global circuit coupling model provides a powerful tool for simulating the complex behavior of various physical systems, including but not limited to capacitively coupled plasmas, vacuum electronic devices, and Z-pinches.

The Influence of Ink Chemistry on the Microstructure Evolution and GHz RF Response of Printed Ag Transmission Lines.

High-frequency transmission is limited to the skin depth in metals. Because poor conductivity cannot be compensated for by increasing the conductor thickness as with DC, optimal transport properties are prerequisites for radio frequency (RF) use. Structural and chemical analyses of transmission lines printed using a traditional ink consisting of Ag nanoflakes in a dispersing phase revealed that optimized thermal treatments yielded thorough burnout of the binder, significant grain growth, elimination of the pore volume, and electrical responses that were comparable to values obtained for thermally evaporated, fully dense Ag controls. Specifically, a low DC resistivity of 2.3 μΩ·cm (1.4× bulk Ag) and RF transmission coefficients of 0.87 and 0.75 at 5 GHz and 10 GHz, respectively, were measured in the nanoflake Ag prints. Conversely, in transmission lines printed from a metal-organic decomposition ink, residual chemical contamination impeded diffusion and densification, yielding greater porosity, small grains that are pinned, and a degraded RF response. Reasonably good porosity approximations were obtained from a model based on percolation theory. The results indicate that contaminants at interfaces and pore surfaces impede diffusion, pore elimination, and full densification, and further, alter carrier dynamics and degrade RF response.

Nonlinear Time-domain signal and noise analysis of an active CRLH transmission line for millimeter-wave frequencies

In this paper, time domain signal and noise behavior of an active CRLH transmission line was investigated in the nonlinear regime at millimeter wave frequencies. In this structure, the transistor is considered as three coupled transmission lines and all three drain,gate and source lines are CRLH transmission lines. The left-handed element values for the active CRLH transmission line are calculated in such a way that the phase cancellation effect and dispersion of the CRLH transmission line are reduced. In order to model this active CRLH transmission line, with the assumption of wave propagation in the form of Quasi-TEM, the distributed modeling method is used to extract stochastic telegraphic equation (STE) in the non-linear regime. To model noise sources in the non-linear regime, the Wiener process and modulation functions have been used to model white noise in the nonlinear regime and in the time domain. By applying the finite integration method to stochastic telegraphic equation, the behavior of the signal and noise of the active structure CRLH has been compared with a line of active structure RH and the obtain results of the numerical method have been verified with the results of the Agilent ADS software.

Failure mechanisms and seismic fragility analysis of overhead transmission lines incorporating pile-soil-structure interaction

Overhead transmission lines (OTLs) are responsible for long-distance electric power transmission from power plants to end-users, inevitably passing through seismically active regions. A thorough literature review regarding seismic design and assessment of various structures underscores the significance of incorporating soil-structure interaction (SSI) and depth-varying spatial effect (DVSE). However, previous studies typically assumed that OTLs are fixed directly to the ground, and depth-varying ground motions (DVGMs) are oversimplified as uniform excitations, which may yield questionable structural performance estimations. To address this concern, this paper focuses on investigating the SSI effect on the seismic response and failure mechanism of an OTL subjected to DVGMs. Prior to this investigation, two commonly used methods for modeling the SSI effect in software ABAQUS are compared, with a nonlinear spring-based modeling method deems comparable in accuracy yet superior in efficiency. Subsequently, a refined finite element model of an OTL-soil-pile system is developed utilizing this simplified modeling method, and a group of three-dimensional ground motions varying within layered soils is stochastically synthesized. The influences of SSI and DVSE are systematically explored in terms of the seismic responses, failure mechanisms, and fragility probabilities of the OTL. The results expose the potential of the SSI effect to weaken the seismic capacity of the OTL and increase the risk of failure, while disregarding the DVSE is likely to lead to overestimated outcomes. This research is expected to raise awareness of considering SSI and DVSE in the seismic design and analysis of OTLs.

Wind-Induced Response Analysis of the Transmission Tower-Line System Considering the Joint Effect

Wind load is one of the main control loads of transmission tower-line systems. Numerical simulation is the main method for studying the structural wind-induced response. The establishment of a refined transmission tower simulation model is the basis for accurately analyzing the dynamic response of a transmission tower-line system under a wind load. This paper first considered the mechanical properties of bolted joints under cyclic loading and established a transmission tower-line system model considering the joint effects. Then, the wind load was generated by the harmonic superposition method, and the wind dynamic time-history analysis of the tower-line system was conducted. The influence of the joint effect on the wind-induced response of the transmission tower-line system was studied, and the effects of turbulence intensity and wind attack angle on the bolted joint slip effect were discussed. The results showed that the joint effect significantly increased the displacement response of the transmission tower subjected to wind loads and affected the normal service performance of the tower-line system. When the turbulence intensity is 10%, the top displacement of the tower model considering the joint effect is approximately 2 times that of the ideal rigid frame model. After considering the joint effect, the additional [Formula: see text] effect caused by the increased displacement resulted in an increase in the stress of 75.6% members, and the maximum stress of the main member was located near the upper diaphragm of the tower leg. Therefore, considering the joint slip effect in angle steel transmission towers can improve the accuracy of the dynamic response analysis of transmission lines.

Analytical equivalent circuit modeling and analysis of complex BGA for 3D silicon-interposer packaging

Through analyzing different cross-sections of the complex ball grid array (CBGA) sandwiched by silicon interposers, various distributed capacitances of the CBGA and the significance of the CBGA's coplanar capacitances are revealed. From the analyses, the composition of the CBGA's capacitance is found to have similarity with that of the coplanar waveguide's capacitance. Based on the electric-field coupling mechanism of the coplanar waveguide, geometrical analysis of the CBGA, and analysis of multiconductor transmission lines, analytical equations are derived to allow accurate modeling the equivalent circuit of the CBGA for 3D silicon-interposer packaging. The modeled equivalent circuit of the CBGA is validated with the full wave electromagnetic simulation, and it is demonstrated to have a good accuracy up to 40 GHz. Moreover, the CBGA structure can be further optimized for impedance matching with the guidance of the derived analytical equations.

Power system harmonic analysis with real geomagnetically induced current from the 2003 halloween storm

It is well understood that geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) flow through the grounded neutrals of wye-connected transformers, generating harmonic currents that flow along frequency-dependent transmission lines. Harmonic currents affect protection systems and cause harmonic voltage drops that disturb power system voltage stability. In the literature, GICs are modelled as dc-currents for harmonic analysis. However, GICs are multi-frequency currents having both positive and negative polarities. Therefore, a representative harmonic analysis of power systems is only possible when GICs are modelled as multi-frequency AC currents. In this paper, the authors subjected a multi-machine power system model to real GICs from the 2003 halloween storm. Representative time intervals within the storm were selected, and a harmonic analysis of transmission line and generator stator currents was carried out. The results showed that the harmonic spectrum of currents fluctuated with a real GIC instead of reaching a steady state with a DC model for GIC. Moreover, harmonics induced on generator windings increase the risk of dynamic voltage and power system instability. The results confirm the susceptibility of power system generators to GICs and validate the use of synthetic GIC for modelling the effect of power system stability.

Cable-stayed towers in transmission lines

Review of Wind-Induced Effects Estimation through Nonlinear Analysis of Tall Buildings, High-Rise Structures, Flexible Bridges and Transmission Lines

The nonlinear effects exhibited by structures under the action of wind loads have gradually stepped into the vision of wind-resistant researchers. By summarizing the prominent wind-induced nonlinear problems of four types of wind-sensitive structures, namely tall buildings, high-rise structures, flexible bridges, and transmission lines, the occurrence mechanism of their nonlinear effects is revealed, providing cutting-edge research progress in theoretical studies, experimental methods and vibration control. Aerodynamic admittance provides insights into the aerodynamic nonlinearity (AN) between the wind pressure spectrum and wind speed spectrum of tall building surfaces. The equivalent nonlinear equation method is used to solve nonlinear vibration equations with generalized van-der-Pol-type aerodynamic damping terms. The elastic–plastic finite element method and multiscale modeling method are widely employed to analyze the effects of geometric nonlinearity (GN) and material nonlinearity (MN) at local nodes on the wind-induced response of latticed tall structures. The AN in blunt sections of bridges arises from the amplitude dependence of the aerodynamic derivative and the higher-order term of the self-excited force. Volterra series aerodynamic models are more suitable for the nonlinear aerodynamic modeling of bridges than the polynomial models studied more in the past. The improved Lindstedt–Poincare perturbation method, which considers the strong GN in the response of ice-covered transmission lines, offers high accuracy. The complex numerical calculations and nonlinear analyses involved in wind-induced nonlinear effects continue to consume significant computational resources and time, especially for complex wind field conditions and flexible and variable structural forms. It is necessary to further develop analytical, modeling and identification tools to facilitate the modeling of nonlinear features in the future.
