Abstract

Insulator icing can easily trigger flashover trips in heavily ice-covered areas, and analyzing the formation mechanism of ice accumulation on the insulator is essential for predicting its flashover development. To accurately dissect the process of insulator icing, a coupled mathematical model of the flow field and electric field, as well as a droplet motion model were elaborated in this paper based on the principles of fluid mechanics and electromagnetic field. Subsequently, the characteristics of droplet motion deviation and its physical collision process with an insulator surface under AC electric field were investigated. The results demonstrate that the charged droplets tend to oscillate along the electric field lines in AC electric field, and the amplitude of the oscillation increases with the applied voltage increasing. Moreover, the number of droplets captured by the insulator rises with the increase of voltage, wind speed, and median volume diameter of the droplet. Combined with the simulation and natural icing experiments, it is observed that ice branches grow in the direction of electric field force, and as the voltage rises, ice branches gradually spread from the edge of the shed to its surface, increasing surface roughness. The density of ice exhibits an inverted U-shaped relationship as the electric field strength increases. Ice mass and ice length present nonlinear growth with an increase in icing time. Furthermore, compared with that without energization, the icing amount and icing length increase by more than 13 % under AC voltage of 40 kV.

期刊介绍: Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere. Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost. Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
