Conductor Corona Noise Prediction on High Voltage Ac Lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conductor corona noise of four local 400 kV AC transmission lines is measured and compared to predictions. The prediction software developed is based on the EPRI semi-analytical approach using excitation functions and the theory of natural modes. The nature and accuracy of the prediction software is discussed along with relevant corona noise metrology issues encountered.

Audible noise of hybrid AC/DC overhead lines: Comparison of different prediction methods and conductor arrangements
The concept of partial conversion of existing tower phase arrangements to hybrid HVAC/HVDC overhead lines has become an attractive solution to meet the demand for higher power transmission capacity. Due to mutual AC/DC coupling effects, corona phenomena such as audible noise can be affected and have thus to be predicted accurately. In this paper, existing empirical equations are used to predict...
متن کاملSimulation of the space charge near coronating conductors of ac overhead transmission lines
In the case of ac high voltage overhead transmission lines, corona discharges may result in a broadband crackling and a humming noise at twice the mains frequency (2f ). The computation of the emitted 2f -levels presupposes the knowledge of the apparent power and force passed by the ions to the gas in the surroundings of the conductors. In this paper a simulation determining these magnitudes us...
متن کاملMechanism of the tonal emission from ac high voltage overhead transmission lines
Foul weather conditions can lead to corona discharges on high voltage overhead transmission lines which are perceivable as an audible broadband crackling and hissing noise. In such situations this noise is often accompanied by a humming noise at twice the mains frequency (2f ). While the crackling and hissing noise component was widely investigated in the past, the 2f -component went largely un...
متن کاملPotential reduction of audible noise from new and aged overhead transmission line conductors by increasing their hydrophilicity
In the context of audible noise from high voltage overhead lines, an increase of hydrophilicity is frequently suggested in literature as a means to reduce A-weighted noise emissions. Laboratory tests with hydrophilic coatings of new conductors within the project CONOR (a consortium formed by utilities from Austria, Germany and Switzerland, a Swiss authority and further institutions) executed at...
متن کاملDC ion-currents in AC conductors in hybrid AC/DC transmission
This publication presents the results of a series of laboratory investigations on the DC ion current coupling between nearby AC and DC conductors, which is an important consideration in the design of hybrid AC/DC transmission towers. The corona activity depends on the surface condition of the conductor. Whether or not the conductors produced corona was controlled by selectively wetting them. Th...
