Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of disaster prevention and reduction of transmission lines, and particularly relates to a quasi-static calculation method for lateral unbalanced force of transmission lines.


BACKGROUND

Transmission lines are important lifeline engineering. Under the action of various disasters, damage of local transmission lines can evolve into a large-scale power interruption accident and lead to city shutdown, which will seriously affect economic development and social operation. As wind load has significant randomness in space and time, a tower in local transmission lines will be damaged first under the action of instantaneous strong gust wind, both ends of a conducting wire will have relative displacement under the drive of the damaged tower, and significant additional tension will be generated on the conducting wire, which is easy to cause cascading failure of the lines under the combined action of the wind load. At present, a nonlinear finite element method is a typical method for evaluating tension of conducting wires. Although having certain advantages in analysis accuracy, the method needs complicated pre-process and post-process, which is very inconvenient for engineering application. In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a quasi-static calculation method for lateral unbalanced force of transmission lines, which can quickly quantify influence of a failed tower on an adjacent tower. The present invention greatly improves evaluation efficiency of cascading failure risk of transmission lines, provides an efficient analysis tool for engineers, and has a good application prospect in transmission line design industry.


SUMMARY

The purpose of the present invention is to propose a quasi-static calculation method for lateral unbalanced force of transmission lines, which is used to quickly evaluate influence of a failed tower on an adjacent tower.


The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

Where: subscripts 0 and 1 respectively represent one side of the conducting wire without support displacement and one side of the conducting wire with support displacement, the same below. It can be known from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 that the mean value of time history of the quasi-static lateral unbalanced force is the same as the calculation results of formulas (4) and (5).


Step 2: Determining Fluctuating Wind-Induced Lateral Unbalanced Force


Time history of the fluctuating wind speed is generated by a harmonic superposition method, wind spectrum adopts a Davenport wind spectrum, coherence function adopts a Shiotani frequency-independent three-dimensional coherence function, and the wind load is simplified as discrete random concentrated force according to quasi-steady theory. Considering quasi-static background response only, the fluctuating wind-induced lateral unbalanced force at both ends of the conducting wire is calculated by an influence line method:

Meanings of parameters in the formulas: y0, v and w respectively represent initial vertical displacement, vertical displacement under combined action of mean wind and support displacement, and lateral displacement caused by mean wind of the conducting wire.


Finally, total lateral unbalanced force can be obtained:

{circumflex over (T)}z0(t)=Tz0(t)+Tz0(t)  (11)
{circumflex over (T)}z1(t)=Tz1(t)+Tz1(t)  (12)


60-second lateral dynamic counterforce is calculated by the above formulas, and the results are shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Comparison with the results of the nonlinear finite element method shows that the method provided by the present invention has relatively high accuracy.


Large deformation effect of the conducting wire has significant influence on the wind load. If the wind load in initial state is always used as input, significant distortion of response will be caused. The steps to eliminate the influence of the large deformation effect of the conducting wire are as follows:

    • (a) Letting initial value of horizontal tension H1i be H0, and i be a positive integer;
    • (b) Calculating mean wind pressure at each point of the conducting wire respectively, with the expression of the theoretical wind pressure being:

Meanings of parameters in the formula: where: ρ represents air density; CD represents drag coefficient; D represents diameter of the conducting wire; V10 represents basic wind speed; HC represents ground clearance of a conducting wire support; and α represents wind profile exponent.

    • (c) Solving the horizontal tension H1 by formula (1);
    • (d) If |H1−H1i|>tolerance error, letting i=i+1, H1i=H1, and repeating steps (b) and (c); and
    • (e) If |H1−H1i|<tolerance error, generating three-dimensional coordinates of the conducting wire, and outputting mean wind speed and fluctuating wind speed.


Calculation shows that: if the large deformation effect is not considered, values of mean lateral counterforce on the left and right sides are respectively 19380 N and 10460 N; if the large deformation effect is considered, values of mean lateral counterforce on the left and right sides are respectively 17890 N and 6181 N. Therefore, the lateral unbalanced force will be overestimated if the large deformation effect is not considered.


Further, FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the trapezoidal equivalent wind pressure fTra, the uniform wind pressure fUni, the theoretical wind pressure fRef and slope fRef′(L/2) of the theoretical wind pressure at a midspan point.


The expression of the trapezoidal equivalent wind pressure fTra is:

fTra=k(x−L/2)+fUni=−0.0412×(x−L/2)+29.96  (14)

Calculation shows that: if the theoretical wind pressure of formula (13) is used, values of mean lateral counterforce on the left and right sides are respectively 17890 N and 6181 N; if the uniform wind pressure of formula (15) is used, values of mean lateral counterforce on the left and right sides are respectively 17560 N and 8196 N; if the trapezoidal equivalent wind pressure provided by the present invention is used, values of mean lateral counterforce on the left and right sides are respectively 17980 N and 5991 N. Based on the theoretical wind pressure, the maximum error of the trapezoidal equivalent wind pressure is 3.07%, while the maximum error of the uniform wind pressure is 32.6%. Therefore, the trapezoidal wind pressure proposed in the present invention is a good approximation to the theoretical wind pressure.
