Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an insulator structure optimization method, and more particularly to a lightning protection insulator structure optimization method based on surface electric field characteristics. Background Technology
[0002] Lightning protection insulators are widely used in power transmission networks, and the performance analysis of lightning protection insulators is crucial to the stable and reliable operation of power transmission networks.
[0003] However, due to severe atmospheric pollution, flashover accidents involving lightning protection insulators are increasingly frequent and widespread, posing serious safety hazards and economic losses to the power transmission network. Besides these serious pollution flashover accidents, lightning strikes are another major problem for lightning protection insulators. Each year, lightning-induced flashover trips on high-voltage transmission lines account for approximately 65%-75% of trips caused by natural factors (such as air pollution). Lightning protection remains a difficult problem for the power grid. While the lightning tripping rate has decreased significantly with advancements in lightning protection technology, lightning accidents persist and continue to seriously endanger the power system.
[0004] Current technologies primarily employ surge arresters and lightning protection hardware to improve the lightning protection level of power lines. However, installing surge arresters presents drawbacks such as high installation difficulty and construction costs. Furthermore, the insulation coordination between surge arresters and insulators must be considered. This is crucial to prevent maloperation under power frequency and switching overvoltages, protecting the arrester; and to ensure the surge arrester's lightning impulse discharge voltage is lower than that of the insulator, thus providing protection. Due to the significant dispersion (over 20%) of the 50% lightning impulse volt-second characteristics of insulators and surge arresters, the issue of surge arrester insulation coordination is particularly prominent. Regarding lightning protection hardware, its protective effect is only realized when every tower is fully equipped with it, and it is essential to ensure that the tower's grounding device is in good condition and the grounding resistance is qualified. In practice, this presents disadvantages such as phase-to-phase breakdown and difficulty in extinguishing arcs.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, it is urgent to propose a new technical approach. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for optimizing the structure of lightning protection insulators based on surface electric field characteristics.
