Field and ion interactions of hybrid AC/DC transmission lines

Abstract

With the increasing use of DC transmission in existing AC networks, the possibility of AC and DC circuits running parallel to each other and sharing the same right-of-way or even the same tower is increasing. It is important from the point of view of design of such hybrid AC/DC transmission lines to determine the nature and extent of field and ion interactions. A method is proposed to analyze such interactions and is applied to some typical practical hybrid line configurations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
