Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transmission line safety performance assessment, specifically to a method and system for assessing transmission line failure risks in the face of strong convective winds. Background Technology

[0002] Transmission lines are a crucial component of modern power infrastructure. They are coupled systems of multiple transmission towers connected by power lines, capable of transmitting electricity over long distances from power plants to users, playing a vital role in the reliability and stability of the entire power grid. With the rapid growth in energy demand, transmission lines are developing towards larger capacity, longer distances, and higher efficiency, inevitably traversing various complex environments. Even though current transmission line structural designs generally consider the impact of wind loads, transmission line accidents such as line breaks, wind-induced flashovers, and even tower collapses are common throughout their service life. These accidents not only seriously threaten the safe and stable operation of the power grid but also have a significant negative impact on post-disaster relief and repair efforts. Therefore, proposing a reliable integrated disaster-risk-prevention design method for transmission lines is essential to ensuring their safety and functionality.

[0003] Severe convective winds are localized and extremely destructive, and are one of the main factors causing transmission line breaks, wind-induced flashovers, and even tower collapses. In recent years, the frequent occurrence of severe convective winds due to climate change has posed a significant threat to the safe and stable operation of transmission lines. Therefore, considering the localized and extreme nature of severe convective winds, conducting risk assessments of transmission lines under severe convective wind disasters plays a crucial supporting role in the design, assessment, and prevention of transmission lines in response to extreme wind disasters.

[0004] Extensive research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on the assessment of the wind resistance performance of transmission lines, providing guidance for wind-resistant design. However, many problems remain: 1) Existing wind resistance studies often use the 10-minute average wind speed of benign winds at a height of 10 meters for design, but wind profiles cannot accurately describe the wind field patterns of strong convective winds (such as tornadoes and downbursts); 2) Current wind resistance studies often use elastic static analysis methods, which cannot reasonably capture accidents such as nonlinear tower collapse and transient wind deflection of transmission lines; 3) There is a lack of preventive measures to deal with transmission line faults induced by strong convective winds, resulting in transmission lines being unable to effectively resist the threat of extreme disasters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems in existing technologies, such as the inability of wind profiles to accurately describe the wind field patterns of strong convective winds, the inability to reasonably capture accidents such as nonlinear tower collapses and transient wind deflections of transmission lines, and the lack of preventive measures to deal with transmission line faults induced by strong convective winds, which result in transmission lines being unable to effectively resist the threat of extreme disasters, this invention provides a method and system for assessing the failure risk of transmission lines in the face of strong convective winds.

[0150] (1) Based on measured data and wind field variation patterns, a theoretical model of strong convective wind field was established, and a simulation and analysis platform for strong convective wind was developed, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the wind profiles of downbursts and tornadoes in different directions can be represented as follows:

[0151] V(z) = 1.55(z / δ) 1 / 6 [1-erf(0.7z / δ)]×V max

[0152]

[0153] In the formula, V r,max V represents the maximum radial wind speed of the downburst. max The maximum wind speed of the downburst; V(z) and V r (r) represents the vertical and radial wind speed profiles of the downburst, respectively; δ is the reference height; erf is the fault tolerance function; R r The radial dimension; r max χ represents the distance between the point of maximum wind speed and the center of the impact wind; U(r,z), W(r,z), and V(r,z) are the normalized radial, vertical, and tangential wind speed profiles of the tornado, respectively; r and z are the normalized radius and height of the tornado, respectively; and χ is a size constant.

[0154] (2) Select typical actual projects and establish a refined numerical model of important transmission lines using finite element software. This model includes at least one transmission tower and two spans of transmission lines to fully consider the influence of tower-line coupling effect on the wind vibration response of the transmission tower. The example transmission tower can be composed of angle steel components, steel pipe components, or a combination of angle steel and steel pipe components. Taking the finite element software ABAQUS as an example, the transmission tower members can be simulated using beam elements, and the transmission lines and insulator strings can be simulated using pole elements. Divide the transmission line into multiple segments and use the form-finding method to iteratively adjust the sag of the conductors and ground wires multiple times. Figure 7 The numerical model of the transmission line is illustrated.

[0155] (3) Divide the transmission tower and transmission line into different sections and segments, calculate the wind load time history of different sections and segments based on current regulations, and apply it in the form of concentrated forces. Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the point where strong convective wind loads are applied in the numerical model of the transmission line.

[0156] Step 2: Simulation of Transmission Line Disasters Induced by Strong Convective Winds

[0157] (4) The design wind speed of the schematic transmission tower is 27 m / s. Based on this definition, different wind speed conditions such as storm surges and tornadoes are considered. Considering the cumulative damage effect of the transmission tower components under wind load, a wind vibration response analysis of the transmission line under strong convective winds is carried out based on the nonlinear dynamic analysis method. It should be noted that the cumulative damage effect can comprehensively consider the maximum plastic deformation, cumulative plastic strain, energy accumulation, etc. of the components; the damage index considering the maximum plastic deformation and cumulative plastic strain can be expressed as:

[0158]

[0159] E D =E(1-ξ1Da)

[0160]

[0161] In the formula, Da represents the cumulative damage value; This represents the strain corresponding to the yield strength; Indicates the maximum plastic strain; Indicates the plastic strain of steel; Represents the ultimate plastic strain; β is the weighting coefficient; N is the number of half-cycles; E and σ s E represents the elastic modulus and yield strength under undamaged conditions, respectively. D and ξ1 and ξ2 are the elastic modulus and yield strength after damage, respectively; ξ1 and ξ2 are material parameters.

[0162] (5) Conduct nonlinear tower collapse simulation of transmission lines under strong convective winds, with wind load application points as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the weak sections and locations of the transmission tower are identified, and the vulnerable components of the transmission tower and their impact on the stress of adjacent components are determined. Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, transient wind deflection simulation of transmission lines under strong convective winds was carried out to obtain the wind deflection mechanism caused by strong convective winds.

[0163] (6) By gradually increasing the wind speed, the entire process from elasticity to failure of the transmission line is obtained through simulation calculations, and a wind resistance verification model for typical faults such as tower collapse and wind deflection of transmission lines under strong convective winds is established. Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, the wind resistance curves for typical faults of transmission line tower collapse and wind deflection described in the embodiments of the present invention are given respectively.

[0164] Step 3: Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Transmission Lines under Severe Convective Winds

[0165] (7) Conduct nonlinear pushover analysis and classify the multi-objective risk level of tower collapse based on the tower top displacement or displacement angle as indicators, including minor damage, moderate damage and collapse, with corresponding limits of 50%, 75% and 100% of the collapse threshold; classify the wind deflection risk level based on the minimum electrical clearance, such as the minimum electrical clearance H of the dual circuit can be 2.7m, and the three-stage risk levels can be 1.5×H, 1.25×H and 1.0×H.

[0166] (8) Select the uncertainty parameters of the strong convective wind field. Downbursts include the maximum wind speed, moving speed and distance of the vertical and radial wind profiles; tornadoes include the reference height, vortex core radius, vortex ratio and maximum wind speed; carry out sensitivity analysis of transmission lines under strong convective winds to identify key parameters. Figure 15 and Figure 16 The figures show the distribution of significant parameters affecting the sensitivity of transmission lines to wind-induced vibration response under the influence of downbursts and tornadoes. V t It is the movement speed of Downward Strike Burst; d o denoted as , and e as , which is the horizontal distance from the center of the downburst.

[0167] (9) Multiple discrete failure probability points are calculated, and the structural response is fitted in logarithmic space. Based on the obtained disaster demand model, the vulnerability curve is obtained to assess the transmission line fault risk under strong convective winds. The failure probability point fitting formula can be calculated as follows:

[0168]

[0169] p r =P(D>C)

[0170] In the formula, P(·) represents probability; a, b, and c are regression parameters; S D Indicates the median structural seismic demand; IM is the seismic intensity index; p r denoted as the risk probability; D and C represent the wind vibration response and structural capacity of the transmission line, respectively. Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 and Figure 20 The risk level of transmission lines under strong convective winds.

[0171] Step 4: Typical Fault Prevention Technologies and Measures for Transmission Lines Facing Strong Convective Winds

[0172] (10) In order to take countermeasures before extreme winds occur, echo radar is used to monitor changes in local wind field parameters in real time. Figure 21This illustrates the use of echo radar technology for early prediction of meteorological parameters in a certain area. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms (such as Long Short-Term Memory artificial neural networks) can be used to fit historical data to predict future meteorological parameters. The data input and parameter updates for the Long Short-Term Memory artificial neural network can be expressed using the following formula:

[0173]

[0174] In the formula, LSTM(·) represents the computation method using the LSTM model; x t For input samples; and Output values ​​forward and backward respectively; and These output the values ​​forward and backward from the previous time step, respectively. and These are the forward and backward weight matrices, respectively; b y For the paranoia matrix; y t Output the value at this moment.

[0175] (11) Based on the monitoring of wind field parameter changes by echo radar, intelligent algorithms are used to obtain early prediction results. A multi-parameter and multi-target fusion transmission line risk visualization assessment platform is developed, which can provide early warning for typical faults such as tower collapse and wind deflection. Figure 22 This is the power transmission line risk visualization assessment platform described in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0176] (12) In response to tower collapse accidents, non-destructive reinforcement methods for transmission tower components, energy-consuming and vibration-damping technologies, and the addition of transverse diaphragms can be proposed; in response to wind deflection accidents, conductor grounding devices, wind deflection blocking technologies, and wind deflection suppression devices can be proposed to enhance the ability of transmission lines to cope with extreme disasters.

[0177] In summary, this invention provides a method and system for assessing the failure risk of transmission lines in the face of severe convective winds, comprising:
