Calculation and Analysis of The Coupling Effects of High Voltage Transmission Lines in Joint-Use Corridors Shared by Multi-Systems
Abstract— Electromagnetic coupling effects among transmission lines threaten the stability
and reliability of each system, which the corridor is shared by. This paper investigates the effects
of various parameters on the electromagnetic interference among transmission lines in detail.
The influencing factors include erection parameters, soil parameters and operation parameters
of power system. A multi-conductor transmission line model is established to calculate the
coupling effects of transmission lines with EMTP. The model consists of 500 kV double-circuit
AC transmission lines and 1000 kV one-circuit AC transmission lines. And then, the effects of
various parameters on the generated interferences are analyzed, when 1000 kV AC transmission
lines are de-energized. The general rules of induction components among transmission lines
changing with different parameters are obtained. This paper provides an insight on how to make
the safe distance of transmission lines in the corridors.
1. INTRODUCTION
With the rapid development of economy and society, joint-use corridors shared by multi-system
have the characteristic of saving land, which is occupied by power, communication, transportation
and energy transport systems. Meanwhile, in order to meet energy demand, UHV transmission lines
are gradually put into use. This leads to the load current and fault current of transmission lines
increased significantly, and exacerbates the electromagnetic coupling effects among transmission
lines in joint-use corridors. So the electromagnetic interference threatens the stability and reliability
of each system in the corridors.
In order to ensure each system operating safely in the corridors, many countries have started
research and have developed regulations and standards [1, 2]. Researchers mainly study on the
coupling effects among parallel transmission lines. The generation mechanism of electromagnetic
induction components between two parallel conductors was analyzed in [3] and [4]. These papers
described a method of calculating the transverse voltage caused by electric field induction based on
charge equivalent method. The electromagnetic interference among parallel transmission lines was
analyzed in [5] and [6]. These papers pointed out that the induced longitudinal EMF increases with
the parallel length in approximate direct proportion. But, all the research above is not concerning
the electromagnetic interference among multi-circuit lines.
Transmission lines in the corridor are close to each other, so the electromagnetic interference level
is more serious. This threatens reliable operation of each system and the safety of line maintenance.
It is necessary to study on the electromagnetic induction among lines in the corridors, and analyze
the general rules of induction components changing with different parameters.
This paper mainly studies on the general rules of induction components among lines changing with
different parameters, so there is no need to correspond with the actual lines. Typical erection
situation and line parameters are confirmed from relevant articles. Then, a parallel transmission
lines system has been set up, as shown in Fig. 1(a). The total length of transmission lines in parallel
is l (km), and the separation distance between 500 kV and 1000 kV ac transmission lines is d (m).
A cross section of the joint-use corridor is shown in Fig. 1(b), and various parameters of transmis-
sion lines in the common corridor were given by [6] and [7] in detail. This paper adopts nine-phase
line to simulate 500 kV double-circuit ac transmission lines on the same tower in parallel with
1000 kV one-circuit ac transmission lines with EMTP.
