“…When the wind speed is large enough, due to structural and other factors, the insulators on the leeward side will be subjected to diferent degrees of pressure, and the composite insulator string will buckle under the pressure. Te insulator string still has a certain bearing capacity after buckling [33][34][35]. Terefore, it is necessary to conduct buckling analysis on the rod core.…”

Under the action of extreme wind load, the overhead transmission line will lead to the fracture of the traditional V-type insulator string, which greatly affects the safety of the power system. Compared with the V-type insulator string, the Y-type insulator string has better stability under the wind load. Therefore, the overhead lines in the mountainous areas of Anhui Province are taken as the research object, considering the combined effect of wind load and conductor dead weight, and through theoretical derivation, the calculation formula of insulator string wind deflection angle is obtained. Using numerical simulation software, the nonlinear mechanical analysis of Y-type insulator strings is conducted, and under the action of different wind speeds, the windage yaw angle and unloading angle of the Y-type insulator string are obtained. Compared with the calculation results of the V-type insulator string, the stability of the Y-type insulator string in the structure is better than that of the V-type insulator string, and the Y-type insulator string can make full use of the distance between layers and the gap margin of the tower head, reduce the length of the cross arm, and reduce the weight of the tower, which has obvious advantages. Combined with the results of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the optimal design method of the Y-type insulator string is given. Under the condition of ensuring the safety and stability of insulators, the distance of the cross arm is shortened as much as possible and the weight of the transmission line tower is reduced. The research results will provide a theoretical reference for engineering design and improvement.

“…Literatures [17,18] have summarized the wind deflection calculation methods for foreign V-type insulator strings and studied the bearing capacity of the leeward limb of the V-string. The wind deflection and buckling characteristics of Y-shaped insulator strings under strong winds have been studied in the literatures [19,20]. The above studies have been carried out on type I and type V insulator strings and fewer studies have been carried out on the wind deflection characteristics of Y-type insulator strings under pulsating winds.…”
Under the action of extreme wind load, the overhead transmission line will generate a wind deflection flashover phenomenon, which seriously affects the normal operation of the transmission system and causes significant losses. Y-type insulator string (hereinafter referred to as Y-string) is an optimized structural form to reduce the wind deflection flashover in windy areas, and the dynamic mechanical characteristics of Y-string under the action of pulsating wind is an important factor that influences the design of the overhead transmission line. The calculation method of pulsating wind load and the static calculation method of wind deflection displacement of Y-string are obtained through theoretical derivation. The mathematical software is used to simulate the time course of pulsating wind speed and convert it into the time course of wind load, establish the finite element model of insulator string, simulate and analyze the wind deflection process of Y-string under the action of pulsating wind by using the finite element method, and calculate the horizontal displacement of Y-string under the excitation of pulsating wind and make a comparative analysis with the results of the static calculations. The results show that the wind deflection displacement of the Y-string under pulsating wind is 1.12–1.28 times that under steady-state wind, which reveals the reason for the wind deflection flashover phenomenon and provides theoretical references for the design and improvement of overhead transmission lines.

Y-type insulator string has advantages of external insulation and reduction of corridor width. This paper establishes a 3D finite element model of Y-type composite insulator string of 1000 kV AC double-circuit transmission line, including tower, insulator, grading rings, phase conductors and other hardware fittings, the model is used to calculate electric field distribution of composite insulator and grading ring. Then the parameters of grading ring are optimized based on the electric field results. According to the results, the optimum parameters of the racetrack grading ring are R=700 mm, r=120 mm, H=200 mm. The results can give a reference for design of UHV AC Y-type insulator string.
