1. INTRODUCTION:
In the latest days, there has been a significant
increase in the electricity demand. To fulfill this demand,
switchgear, transmission, and distribution networks must
be done more efficiently. The effectiveness of any system
is primarily determined by the continuity of service while
avoiding faults. The performance and properties of
insulators must be good to ensure continuity. Ceramic
insulators have long been utilized in power transmission
and distribution systems. In nowadays ceramic insulator
has been slowly replaced by composite insulator in power
grid nowadays. However, flashover fault still occurs on
this insulator type. Under certain conditions, partial
discharges may occur on the insulator and lead to a
complete flashover. The flashover can cause a breakdown
and damage the whole power system. Compared to
porcelain suspension insulators, composite insulators
have many advantages, such as being lightweight, higher
mechanical strength to weight ratio, higher resistance to
vandalism, better performance in the presence of heavy
pollution in wet conditions and better withstand voltage.
Therefore, outdoor composite insulators are now
preferable and widely used in maintaining the reliability of
the power system. With the increase of demand and the
use of composite insulators, factors of the occurrence of
the fault have drawn wider attention.
Transmission and distribution of power are
accomplished using overhead lines and UG Cables. In OH
lines, metallic and non-metallic structures are used for
supporting insulation (string or pin insulators) and the
conductors. For capital costs involved, the use of strong
metallic structures is restricted to high and ultra-high
voltage transmission systems. Whereas, for most, medium
voltage power distribution systems wooden, cement
structures, or poles are recommended. It is worth noting
that both wooden and cement poles not only provide
requisite mechanical support, they also minimize charge
leakage from the conductor, for their higher specific
resistance. In the case of T&D systems, this neighborhood
rendered by the metallic tower/ pole structure, the guard
wire, and most importantly by the vegetation and creepers
in the vicinity of T&D systems.
This project, model utilizes parameters of an
11kV, three-phase distribution feeder, PCC poles, metallic
cross-arms, and, 160kN pin insulators. A pole span of 100
meters is considered for subject simulation. The
simulation is carried out using the FEM model for an 11kV,
3-φ distribution feeder, PCC poles, metallic cross arms,
and 160kN pin insulators. A pole span of 100 meters is
considered for subject simulation for four different
configurations. The power losses are aggregated for a line
length of 10km [1]. In this paper, a second case scenario
regarding the Electric field analysis on 132kv transmission
line tower and 220kv transmission line tower is studied in
FEM-2D software [2]-[3]. The FEM-based simulation and
study indicate an increase in electrical field stresses for
vegetation in the vicinity of the line.[1]
2. IMPACT OF VEGETATION GROWTH IN 11KV
DISTRIBUTION NETWORK:
The analysis has been carried out using FEMM
software. FEMM is a FEFEM-based simulation tool. The
distribution system chosen is a rural section fed by a
33/11kV Shanthi Nagar substation in the Kakinada district
of Andhra Pradesh State, India. The section consists of
cement poles and cross-arms, the AutoCAD design is
shown in Figure.1. Vegetation like trees, bushes, and
creepers are found to grow during rainy seasons. The
growth if abundant can reach alarming heights
endangering short circuits. Such developments are
modeled and resulting variations in electric field
intensities, effective line capacity, once, and leakage
current are studied. The results are compared with the
standard line without such intrusion. The power and
energy losses and additional line loading are determined
and shown as the additional burden on distribution utility
[1].

5. CONCLUSION:
In this project, an electric field Analysis has been
carried out and an 11 kV Distribution system. To enhance
the study, three 11kv insulators are chosen and tests are
conducted under clean and unclean environments. Later
on, the study is extended to include the effects of
shrubbery, we have chosen different levels of tree heights
concerning the pole heights. The effectiveness of these
analyses is proven by taking 132 kV and 220 kV feeders
that are powering our 11 kV distribution system. By series
of tests, it is confirmed that the shrubbery has the least
effect on the Extra High voltage transmission systems due
to their humungous tower heights. Thus the study is
constricted to 11 kV system Electric field distribution
under four cases. By comparison, case1 and case 2 results
in electric field stress more in case2.

In the case2 of the electric field fields, stress
increases with increasing vegetation growth. In case2
vegetation growth is 10% electric field stress is less. If the
vegetation growth increased in steps of 10% from 40% to
100%, the electric field was found to be increasing. At
vegetation growth of 100% pole height, the electric field
stresses are very high. In case 3, three insulators of the
same ratings are compared. The electric field stress is high
in insulator3 compared to insulator 1 and insulator 2. In
case 4 electric field stress is high in insulator3 compared
to insualtor1 and insulator 2.
From this testing and simulation of electric field
analysis, it is found that electric field stress is different
even for insulators of the same rating and manufacturers.
It is also affected by shrubbery and its height compared to
pole height. From these tests, it is confirmed that
shrubbery is a minor player in electric field stress of 132
kV and greater voltages due to high tower heights. Its
effects are high for distribution systems of voltage 11 kV
and under as their cross arms may be accessible near
shrubbery.

Key Words: Vegetation, Pin Insulator, Polymeric Insulator 132 kV Transmission Tower, 220kV Transmission Tower, FEM (Finite Element Method). 1. INTRODUCTION: In the latest days, there has been a significant increase in the electricity demand. To fulfill this demand, switchgear, transmission, and distribution networks must be done more efficiently. The effectiveness of any system is primarily determined by the continuity of service while avoiding faults. The performance and properties of insulators must be good to ensure continuity. Ceramic insulators have long been utilized in power transmission and distribution systems. In nowadays ceramic insulator has been slowly replaced by composite insulator in power grid nowadays. However, flashover fault still occurs on this insulator type. Under certain conditions, partial discharges may occur on the insulator and lead to a complete flashover. The flashover can cause a breakdown and damage the whole power system. Compared to porcelain suspension insulators, composite insulators have many advantages, such as being lightweight, higher mechanical strength to weight ratio, higher resistance to vandalism, better performance in the presence of heavy pollution in wet conditions and better withstand voltage. Therefore, outdoor composite insulators are now preferable and widely used in maintaining the reliability of the power system. With the increase of demand and the use of composite insulators, factors of the occurrence of the fault have drawn wider attention. Transmission and distribution of power are accomplished using overhead lines and UG Cables. In OH lines, metallic and non-metallic structures are used for supporting insulation (string or pin insulators) and the conductors. For capital costs involved, the use of strong metallic structures is restricted to high and ultra-high voltage transmission systems. Whereas, for most, medium voltage power distribution systems wooden, cement structures, or poles are recommended. It is worth noting that both wooden and cement poles not only provide requisite mechanical support, they also minimize charge leakage from the conductor, for their higher specific resistance. In the case of T&D systems, this neighborhood rendered by the metallic tower/ pole structure, the guard wire, and most importantly by the vegetation and creepers in the vicinity of T&D systems. This project, model utilizes parameters of an 11kV, three-phase distribution feeder, PCC poles, metallic cross-arms, and, 160kN pin insulators. A pole span of 100 meters is considered for subject simulation. The simulation is carried out using the FEM model for an 11kV, 3-φ distribution feeder, PCC poles, metallic cross arms, and 160kN pin insulators. A pole span of 100 meters is considered for subject simulation for four different configurations. The power losses are aggregated for a line length of 10km [1]. In this paper, a second case scenario regarding the Electric field analysis on 132kv transmission line tower and 220kv transmission line tower is studied in FEM-2D software [2]-[3]. The FEM-based simulation and study indicate an increase in electrical field stresses for vegetation in the vicinity of the line.[1] 2. IMPACT OF VEGETATION GROWTH IN 11KV DISTRIBUTION NETWORK: The analysis has been carried out using FEMM software. FEMM is a FEFEM-based simulation tool. The distribution system chosen is a rural section fed by a 33/11kV Shanthi Nagar substation in the Kakinada district of Andhra Pradesh State, India. The section consists of cement poles and cross-arms, the AutoCAD design is shown in Figure.1. Vegetation like trees, bushes, and creepers are found to grow during rainy seasons. The growth if abundant can reach alarming heights endangering short circuits. Such developments are modeled and resulting variations in electric field intensities, effective line capacity, once, and leakage current are studied. The results are compared with the standard line without such intrusion. The power and energy losses and additional line loading are determined and shown as the additional burden on distribution utility [1].

Unclean distribution line 2.1. FEM Simulation Analysis: The analysis was carried out for all the two conditions and was discussed below. 2.2. Case1: A Clean distribution Line: The 11kV, three-phase distribution feeder, metallic cross arms, and pin insulator were designed by using FEMM 2D software as per geometrical conFigurations shown in Fig 2.[9] The electric field distribution in and around the insulator is necessary for the optimal design of the insulator. The accurate computation of electric field distribution can be computed using the Finite element method (FEM). For this insulator, dimensions are very useful. 11kv Electric pole dimensions are shown in Fig 1 and Table1.

ASSIGNING MATERIALS: As per the geometrical configurations, the insulator is designed by using FEMM 2D package. After designing, insulator materials like ceramic, steel, and air are assigned to the model with help of relative permittivity values. Insulator material properties are given in the table shown Table 2 and Fig2. After assigning materials to the model, the line to the ground voltage (i.e.,12/√3 =7kv) is applied to the energized high voltage end fitting and zero (0V) volts to the grounded end fitting of the insulator.

ASSIGNING 2D TRIANGULAR ELEMENTS: Then 2D Triangular elements are assigned to the insulator. Triangular elements at the HV end and ground end are as shown in Fig 2. The boundaries in the model need to be split into individual sections, referred to as boundary elements. The distribution, number, and shape of these elements are the key factors that determine the accuracy of the solution. FEM generally uses 2D elements for analysis purposes. Names of Insulator 1 and Insulator 2 and Insulator 3 are shown in Fig 2.

Electric field analysis of 220kv Overhead transmission line tower (Case - 4): In this case4, the electric field distributions and voltage in 220 kV overhead transmission line tower studied Fem 2d software.220kv overhead transmission line tower with polymeric was designed by using Fem 2d software as per geometrical configuration shown in Fig23. 4.1. Geometrical Configurations: The electric field distribution in and around the insulator is necessary for the optimal design of the insulator. The accurate computation of electric field distribution can be computed using the Finite element method (FEM). For this insulator, dimensions are very useful. Insulator dimensions are tabulated in table 9 and Fig 23.

After designing, insulator materials like SiR, FRP, and steel are assigned to the model with help of relative permittivity values. Insulator material properties are given in the table8. 4.2. ASSIGNING 2D TRIANGULAR ELEMENTS: The boundaries in the model need to be split into individual sections, referred to as boundary elements. The distribution, number, and shape of these elements are the key factors that determine the accuracy of the solution. FEM generally uses 2D elements for analysis purpose purposes. 4.3. ASSIGNING BOUNDARY CONDITIONS: The rated line-to-ground voltage is 220/√3=142kV to the high voltage end fittings. Zero volts to the grounded end fitting/Air is assigned as a surrounding medium. After assigning boundary elements 2D triangular elements are generated throughout the mode. In this electric field contours HV, the end is shown red color, and the ground end is shown blue color. The insulator top is given as high voltage and the insulator ground is given ground voltage. In this Fig 9 shows different colors. Each colors shows different voltages shown in Fig24. 220Kv overhead transmission line bottom of the tower is grounded shown blue color in Fig24. 4.4.

CONCLUSION: In this project, an electric field Analysis has been carried out and an 11 kV Distribution system. To enhance the study, three 11kv insulators are chosen and tests are conducted under clean and unclean environments. Later on, the study is extended to include the effects of shrubbery, we have chosen different levels of tree heights concerning the pole heights. The effectiveness of these analyses is proven by taking 132 kV and 220 kV feeders that are powering our 11 kV distribution system. By series of tests, it is confirmed that the shrubbery has the least effect on the Extra High voltage transmission systems due to their humungous tower heights. Thus the study is constricted to 11 kV system Electric field distribution under four cases. By comparison, case1 and case 2 results in electric field stress more in case2.

In case2 vegetation growth is 10% electric field stress is less. If the vegetation growth increased in steps of 10% from 40% to 100%, the electric field was found to be increasing. At vegetation growth of 100% pole height, the electric field stresses are very high. In case 3, three insulators of the same ratings are compared. The electric field stress is high in insulator3 compared to insulator 1 and insulator 2. In case 4 electric field stress is high in insulator3 compared to insualtor1 and insulator 2. From this testing and simulation of electric field analysis, it is found that electric field stress is different even for insulators of the same rating and manufacturers. It is also affected by shrubbery and its height compared to pole height. From these tests, it is confirmed that shrubbery is a minor player in electric field stress of 132 kV and greater voltages due to high tower heights. Its effects are high for distribution systems of voltage 11 kV and under as their cross arms may be accessible near shrubbery. REFERENCES [1]S.Devabhaktuni, H. Shankar Jain and P. K.
