Linear modeling analysis of the heat balance of the transmission line in high frequency critical ice melting state

Abstract

The icing of transmission lines can cause many problems such as increased line load, unbalanced tension, and galloping, posing a serious threat to the reliable operation of the power system. Therefore, linear modeling analysis of the heat balance under a high-frequency critical ice melting state of transmission lines is studied. The thermal conduction states of melting, heating, twisting, rotating melting, and ice layer detachment of ice melting conductors are analyzed. Based on the heat conduction process of thermal melting of ice on transmission lines, a simplified calculation formula for thermal melting ice time is derived to calculate times for heating, ice layer torsion, and air gap increase. At the same time, based on the law of conservation of energy, thermodynamic boundary conditions for iced conductors were established and corresponding physical models were constructed. Based on this model, we conduct a linear modeling of the heat balance in the melting state in order to provide a more accurate prediction of temperature distribution. The experimental results show that there is a negative correlation between environmental temperature and critical melting current, and the melting time decreases with the increase of environmental temperature.

Analysis of Solar Radiation Differences for High-Voltage Transmission Lines on Micro-Terrain Areas

“…In adverse weather conditions, disturbances occur in the airflow field of micro-terrain areas, thereby affecting the magnitude of wind speed [2] and the spatial distribution of liquid water content in the air. In studies related to the impact of icing on transmission lines in micro-terrain areas, the solar radiation is typically considered to be zero [3,4], which is reasonable when the transmission lines are icing up. When the heat inflow into ice exceeds the outflow, the excess heat gradually raises the temperature of the ice to 0 • C, causing it to undergo a phase transition into liquid water.…”
