Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wind-induced flashover analysis technology for power transmission lines, specifically relating to a method for early warning analysis of wind-induced flashover in extreme weather conditions for power transmission lines. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, extreme weather events such as cold waves and strong winds in winter and severe convection in spring have occurred frequently, often accompanied by non-steady wind fields. Non-steady wind fields are characterized by sudden increases in wind speed, causing conductors to oscillate inertially under the influence of pulsating wind pressure. In addition, the conductors are covered with ice by winter rain, which can easily cause large deflections of suspension insulator strings, thereby affecting the wind deflection angle and wind force response of the line, and even inducing flashover accidents, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
[0003] Due to the lack of accurate wind deflection calculation models and early warning methods, when transmission lines suffer equipment damage under conditions such as abnormal wind deflection and uneven stress on insulator strings, it not only increases the risk of power grid failure but also has a serious impact on regional power supply and socio-economic development.
