Abstract
This study investigates the impact of considering insulation volt-time curves on estimating the annual flashover rate of overhead lines subjected to nearby lightning strikes in the presence of ocean-land environments. A method based on the Finite Element Method is employed to compute induced voltages, while a Monte Carlo simulation determines the annual flashover occurrence. To detect Flashover occurrence a volt-time method is employed and the results are compared with the conventional criterion. The influence of line proximity to the coastline, pole spacing, and various striking distance calculation methods on flashover predictions is evaluated. Results indicate that the criterion underestimates the annual flashover rate due to indirect lightning in mixed ocean-land terrains compared to the volt-time curve approach. A novel analytical formula is proposed to estimate annual flashovers considering volt-time curves in such environments.
期刊介绍:
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.
• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.
• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.
• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.
• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.
• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.
• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
