Abstract:

The numerical simulation study on the composite insulator and grading ring surface electric field distribution in UHV AC power transmission line has the characteristics of the various mediums, the complicated structure and the large amount of calculation. In order to assure the calculation accuracy, related influencial factors should be comprehensively analyzed to reasonably simplify the calculation model and enhance computational efficiency. A whole and a simplified 3D finite element model of double composite insulator in UHV AC transmission line was built. The influences of conductors, towers, hardware fittings, yoke plate on the composite insulator and grading ring surface electric field distribution were studied. Finally, the reasonability of the simplified model was validated. The comparison results between whole model and simplified model show that the simplification of tower is reasonable, and the simplification method that omits the hardware fittings and yoke plate is feasible, with controlling three-phase bundled conductors within a certain length. The simplified model can replace the whole model to analyze the electric field and potential distribution of the composite insulator and the electric field distribution on the grading ring surface, and it can reduce the calculation scale, as well as improve the analysis efficiency of parameters optimization for the insulators string and grading ring in UHV AC transmission lines.
