Dynamic response analysis of transmission tower line system under random fluctuating wind field

Abstract

The transmission tower and tower line coupling system is an important carrier of the power system transmission process. Strong winds in coastal areas have a significant impact on the transmission tower and tower line system. To study the dynamic response characteristics of tower line system under the action of random fluctuating wind fields, the 1W2C9 drum-type self-supporting transmission tower in Guangdong is taken as the research object. Finite element models for the single tower and one tower two-line tower line coupling system are established. By combining the Davenport wind speed spectrum with the fourth order autoregressive method, the fluctuating wind fieldswith spatial correlation are simulated for a single tower with 9 nodes and tower line system with 49 nodes. The dynamic response of a single tower and tower line system under this fluctuating wind field is studied, and the influence of different wind direction angles on theirdynamic response is explored. The results indicate that the maximum dynamic response of both the single tower and tower line system is greater than their pseudo-static response. The existence of transmission lines enhances the stability of the transmission tower line system, reducing its dynamic response. A wind direction angle of 90° proves to be the most unfavorable for the dynamic response of the single tower and tower line system.
