Aiming at the problem that traditional fluid-structure interaction methods are difficult to quickly obtain the galloping response of transmission lines under icing conditions in scenarios such as daily operation and maintenance monitoring and engineering emergency assessment
a finite element-based equivalent loading method for icing galloping loads is proposed
which aims to improve the efficiency of galloping response prediction to meet engineering emergency needs. The catenary theory is used for conductor shape-finding analysis to determine the initial equilibrium state of the conductor under the action of initial tension and self-weight. Based on the three-component aerodynamic force principle
combined with the lift coefficient
drag coefficient and torque coefficient of the iced conductor
the lift force
drag force and torque are calculated. The dynamic aerodynamic loads are equivalently converted into concentrated nodal loads based on the finite element model. Finally
the simulation analysis of galloping displacement response is realized with the help of the ANSYS APDL platform. The example results verify the applicability of the method to single conductors
split conductors and different icing shapes
and it can also be applied to galloping analysis under low wind speed conditions. Compared with the traditional method
this method does not require complex parameter input and long-time integral iteration
and can quickly output the conductor displacement response results
with a significant improvement in analysis efficiency
which can provide technical support for the formulation of anti-galloping decisions for transmission lines under icing disasters.
