Abstract:The increase in bird populations along the Hexi Corridor has led to an increase in flashover faults on 330 kV transmission lines caused by bird droppings. To mitigate the issue of line tripping caused by bird droppings, it is necessary to analyze the distribution of the electric field near composite insulators during the process of bird droppings falling. A three-dimensional model, including the tower, bird droppings, and insulators, was created to assess the impact of bird droppings' characteristics on the el… Show more
