Analysis of the Electric Field and Ion Current Density Under Ultra High-Voltage Direct-Current Transmission Lines Based on Finite Element Method

Abstract

The corona generated from high-voltage direct-current transmission lines can induce the ion around the lines, which will increase the electric field and the ion current density and influence the environment nearby. Based on the finite-element method, an iterative algorithm to analyze the electric field and the ion current density at the ground level generated from the bundled conductors of bipolar lines is proposed. After the validity of the method is testified, some examples are analyzed. The method has been used to design plusmn800 kV transmission lines system in China
