Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power transmission line technology, and in particular to a cooling and capacity-enhancing overhead conductor, a method for determining dynamic current carrying capacity, a medium, and equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional overhead conductors primarily use aluminum steel-cored stranded wire (ACSR), whose current-carrying capacity is limited by conductor temperature rise and environmental heat dissipation conditions. Existing capacity expansion methods mostly involve increasing the conductor cross-sectional area or replacing with high-temperature resistant conductors, but these methods suffer from high costs and complex construction. The industry-standard capacity expansion solutions have significant limitations: increasing the conductor cross-sectional area requires replacing the entire conductor section and upgrading the tower structure, increasing engineering costs by 30%-50%; while using heat-resistant aluminum alloy conductors can raise the operating temperature to 150℃, the material cost is 2-3 times higher than conventional conductors, and long-term high-temperature operation accelerates steel core oxidation and corrosion. Although passive cooling coating technology can reduce temperature rise through radiative heat dissipation, existing coating processes suffer from uneven application, unclear impact on mechanical properties, and mismatched current-carrying capacity calculation models. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the coating, conductor, and steel core has not yet formed a systematic technical solution, lacking standardized processes and quantitative evaluation methods for capacity expansion effects.

The middle layer is a high-conductivity aluminum alloy conductor layer, and the inner layer is a high-strength galvanized steel core. A directional heat conduction path is formed between the coating and the conductor layer through a gradient thermally conductive material, wherein the thermal conductivity of the gradient material increases from the coating to the conductor layer. The coating is applied in an axial segmented coating or a mesh coating manner.

[0119]
[0120] Where U represents the uniformity of temperature distribution, σ T T represents the standard deviation of temperature. avg The average temperature is U>0.95, which is considered acceptable.
[0121] Stress measurement: Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are attached to the surface of the conductor to measure local strain. Allowable strain error range: Deviation between simulated and measured values ≤ 5%.
[0122] Since existing current-carrying capacity calculation models based on a two-layer steel-cored aluminum stranded wire structure are not entirely applicable to coated transmission conductors, this invention provides a refined model of the cross-section of a "coating-conductor-steel core" composite structure transmission conductor, accurately describing its geometric structure and material properties. Different current-carrying conditions are simulated in a laboratory environment, measuring parameters such as surface temperature rise, coating temperature distribution, and conductor stress changes. The experimental results are compared with simulation data to verify whether the influence of the coating material on conductor temperature rise is consistent with the simulation results. Taking an actual transmission line (such as a 500kV horizontally arranged AC transmission line in Hubei Province) as an example, passive cooling coatings of different thicknesses are applied to some phase conductors, with another phase used as a comparison. The established current-carrying capacity calculation model is used to calculate the conductor temperature of each phase under different currents, and the results are compared with the measured temperatures to verify the model's accuracy. Simultaneously, the factors influencing the current-carrying capacity of the composite structure transmission line are analyzed. Based on theoretical calculation results and actual operating data, comparing the current-carrying capacity and temperature rise characteristics of the conductors before and after coating allows for the quantification of the capacity enhancement effect.
