Numerical simulation of corona-induced vibration of high voltage conductor
Abstract
When it rains, electric power transmission lines start vibrating due to corona effect. This type of vibration is known as “corona-induced vibration”. The aim of this paper is to elaborate a mathematical model for numerical simulation of the corona-induced vibration, with consideration of the influence of the magnitude and the polarity of the electric field on the conductor surface. Finite element method was employed to develop the numerical model, and the finite difference method was used for the time discretisation. The moment of application of the coronainduced force is evaluated using the resultant vertical force applied to a water drop, suspended under a high voltage conductor. Some experimental results of other authors are exploited to evaluate the precision of the simulation and the validation of numerical results.
