Conductor galloping is common during the operation of transmission lines
which may result in electrical and mechanical accidents of the transmission line. In order to ensure the safety and stable operation of power grid
it is necessary to study the characteristics of galloping deeply. The multi-span 3-degree-of-freedom(3 DOF) dynamic model for conductor was established in this paper
and the aerodynamic parameters were calculated by the Fluent software
and the research on a 500 kV iced quad bundle conductor galloping was also conducted in detail. Based on the explicit central difference integral algorithm
the galloping conditions under different wind speeds
ice thickness
wire types were discussed
and the results under sudden ice shedding were analyzed. The research results show that the amplitude between the minimum and maximum wind velocity that leads to gallop will increase almost linearly corresponding to the wind velocity; the increasing ice thickness makes the conductor easier to gallop
but too large thickness will destroy the conductor galloping; under the same ice cover
the small cross-section conductor is easier to produce galloping; sudden ice shedding will rapidly decrease the galloping amplitude
leading to a small vibration. The research results have a certain guiding effect on the prediction of the amplitude of the 500 kV wire in actual engineering under different meteorological conditions and the application of anti-dance technology.
