Ways to reduce the effect of corona in power system


 

v Ways to reduce the effect of corona

It was observed that severe corona effects were observed at an operating voltage of 33 kV or higher. Therefore, careful design of the pickling must be performed on substations or bus rails rated for 33 kV and high voltage or else too late air may cause flashing in the insulators or between stages, causing major damage to the equipment.

Corona effects can be reduced in the following ways:

·       By increasing the size of the conductor

By increasing the conductor size, the voltage at which the corona occurs and the corona's effects are greatly reduced. This is one of the reasons why ACSR connectors that have a larger cross-sectional area are used on transmission lines.

·       By increasing the conductor spacing.

By increasing the spacing between the conductors, the voltage at which the corona occurs which the corona's effects can be eliminated. However, the spacing cannot be increased much or the cost of the support frame (for example, the largest cross-arms and support) may increase considerably.        [5]


·       use bundled conductors

The optimal solution is to use the bundled conductors by making the pie through two or more conductors and then short circuit on these connectors.

 

v Advantages and disadvantages of the effect of corona

Corona's effects on communication lines. Corona has many advantages and disadvantages. In the correct design of the high pressure line, a balance must be struck between advantages and disadvantages. Below are the pros and cons of Corona.

 

Advantages

·       Due to the formation of corona, the air surrounding the conductor becomes conductive and thus the apparent diameter of the conductor increases.

·       The increased diameter reduces the electrostatic pressure between the conductors.

·       Corona reduces the effects of storm transients.

·       Ozone industry.

·       The gas sample is ionized before being used in the mass spectrometer.

 

 

Disadvantages

 

·       Corona accompanies energy loss.

·       This affects the transmission efficiency of the line.

·       Ozone is produced by corona and may cause conductive corrosion due to chemical action.

·       The current drawn by the line due to the corona is not sinusoidal and thus non-sinusoidal voltage drop occurs in the line.

·       This may cause inductive interference with adjacent communication lines.
