This document discusses power loss due to corona on high voltage transmission lines. It presents the relationship between corona parameters and power loss through sample calculations and MATLAB simulations. Corona occurs when the electric field strength exceeds the critical value, causing partial ionization of air. Factors that affect corona include conductor size, spacing, voltage, frequency and weather conditions. Power loss is higher under stormy versus fair weather due to the lower disruptive critical voltage. Methods to reduce corona loss include using bundled conductors, increasing conductor spacing and radius, smoothing conductor surfaces, and underground cables.

Analysis of Voltage and Current Variations in Hybrid Power SystemIJRST Journal
In this paper, a detailed dynamic model and simulation of a solar cell/wind turbine/fuel cell hybrid power system is Developed using a novel topology to complement each other and to alleviate the effects of environmental variations. Comparing with the nuclear energy and thermal power, the renewable energy is inexhaustible and has non-pollution Characteristics. Here Ultra-capacitors are used in power applications requiring short duration peak power. The voltage variation at the output is found to be within the acceptable range. The output fluctuations of the wind turbine varying with wind speed and the solar cell varying with both environmental temperature and sun radiation are reduced using a fuel cell. Therefore, this system can tolerate the rapid changes in load and environmental conditions, and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the equipment side voltage. The proposed system can be used for off-grid power generation in non interconnected areas or remote isolated communities. Modeling and simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink software packages to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that the proposed hybrid power system can tolerate the rapid changes in natural conditions and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the voltage within the acceptable range.
Wind turbine doubly-fed induction generator defects diagnosis under voltage dipsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Voltage dips are brief but frequent disturbances that can be defined as the most important problem affecting all electrical grids, it cannot be completely avoided and represent the main priority for the industry. This study remains part of monitoring the quality of electrical energy’s field. Its aim is to apply two approaches signals for improving the failure recognition in wind turbine conversion chain. One is based on the combination of spectral analysis of stator current by fast Fourier transform and Lissajous curves technique of grid currents. The second approach is based on the stator current analysis by discrete wavelet transform which is considered an ideal tool for this purpose due to its time-frequency localization. These defects diagnosis methods have shown their efficiency in detection, visualization and analysis of voltage dips in order to develop a control strategy for a wind turbine requiring continuity of its service despite the presence of voltage dips.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract: The effect of corona on high-voltage transmission lines is one of the causes power loss and this is
uneconomical and undesirable. The study of corona and factors responsible for the loss is investigated through
sample calculation based on Peek’s formula and the results are then simulated through matlab program. This
paper presents the relations between power loss due to corona to corona parameters through matlab programs
and suggests some possible steps taken to minimize corona loss.
Keywords: Corona, power loss, peek’s formula, high voltage transmission lines, Peek’s formula.
I. INTRODUCTION
When in an insulation system, the voltage gradient (voltage stress) exceeds a critical voltage, the air
molecules surrounding the high voltage transmission line conductors become ionized (transient gaseous
ionization) resulting in partial discharges. Corona loss occurs if the line to line voltage exceeds the corona
threshold. The conductive region is not high enough to cause electrical breakdown or arcing to any nearby
objects [1]. Corona can occur within voids of an insulator, at the conductor or at the insulator interface. Rough
surfaces are more liable to corona because the unevenness of the surface decreases the value of the breakdown
voltage. It can be detected due to its visible light in form of purple glow consisting of micro arcs and its sound
can be heard through its hissing and cracking sound [2]. The smelling of the presence of ozone production is
noticed during corona activity [3]. The effects of corona are cumulative and permanent and the failure can occur
without warning. In insulation system, corona discharges result in voltage transients. The effects of corona
associated with the operation of high voltage transmission lines include radio interference, audible noise,
gaseous effluents (Ozone and Nitrogen oxide) and shock potential. Conductor voltage, diameter and shape,
dusts, water drops, and surface irregularities such as scratches are factors that affect the performance and
conductor’s electrical surface gradients. The energy loss due to corona is transformed into sound, radio noise,
chemical reactions of the air components and heat [4]. Corona reduces the reliability of insulation system
thereby degrading insulation and causes system failure due to dielectric breakdown. The study becomes
necessary because of the prevailing negative effect of corona parameters on the power loss of high voltage
transmission lines. The power loss under fair weather conditions and under stormy weather conditions when
investigated, analyzed and simulated using matlab programs gives the results which help us to take necessary
measures to minimize the power loss under fair and stormy weather conditions. High quality insulated and good
service design underground high transmission cables can help to eliminate the loss due corona effect The
advantage of corona is that the sound generated during corona activity can be used to build high accuracy audio
speakers and also it has no mass to be moved to create the sound so that transient response is improved. The
controlled corona discharge can be used for filtrations and printing.

Under the stormy weather conditions, the disruptive critical voltage (Edcv) is taken as 0.8 times that of the fair
weather value. Where the ratio of the phase voltage to the disruptive critical voltage is less than 1.8, Peterson
formula [6] is used for determining the corona loss. This is given as:

III. Effects Of Corona Parameters On Power Loss Due To Corona
3.1 Atmospheric conditions like pressure and temperature
Corona loss is a function of Air density correction factor and the higher the value, the less the corona
loss. At low pressure and high temperatures, the value of disruptive critical voltage is small and corona effect
and loss is dominant [7].
3.2 The inception corona voltage and the disruptive critical voltage
The visual inception corona voltage is more than the disruptive critical voltage because its formation
involves ionization and the raising of electron to an excited state. This excitation produces light by discharge
and other electromagnetic waves [8, 9,10]. Figure 1 shows the graphical comparation of the visual and
disruptive corona voltage at various radii of the conductor. The conductor radius is directly proportional to both
visual corona voltage and disruptive critical voltage

Fig. 1: corona voltage at different value of conductor radius
3.3 Spacing between conductors
Figure 2 shows that under fair weather condition at various spacing between the conductors. Corona
loss is inversely proportional to the spacing between conductors. If the spacing is made to be very large, corona
loss may be absent.
Fig. 2: power loss due to corona loss versus the spacing between conductors
3.4 The supply frequency
Figure 3 shows that the higher the supply frequency, the higher the corona loss. The d.c. corona loss is
less than that of a.c corona loss. The effect of corona on a.c. lines generates third harmonic components that
increase the corona loss.
4. Power loss due to Corona on High Voltage Transmission Lines

Fig. 3: power loss versus frequency
3.5 Size of conductor
Equation 1 shows that corona loss is directly proportional to the square root of the size of conductor.
Figure 4 shows that any increase in conductor diameter leads to corresponding increase in corona loss.
Fig.4: power loss versus size of the conductor
3.6 Line voltage
Corona starts for voltages higher than the disruptive critical voltage. The disruptive critical voltage in
figure 5 is 55.98kv to Neutral (Line to line voltage-96.96kv). The higher the supply voltage the larger the corona
loss

Fig. 5: corona loss versus the line voltage
IV. Stormy And Fair Weather Conditions
In stormy or bad atmospheric weather conditions like snows, rains and hailstorm reduce disruptive
critical voltage and increases the corona effects. Figure 6 shows the graph of corona loss at both the stormy and
the fair weather conditions at different values of disruptive critical voltages. The results show that the lower the
value of disruptive critical voltage, the higher the power loss due to corona.
Fig. 6: power loss under stormy and fair weather conditions

V. Means Of Reducing Power Loss Due To Corona
The use of bundle conductors reduce corona loss
Spacing between conductors is selected so that corona is tolerable
Since the shape of conductors affect corona loss, cylindrical shape conductors have uniform field that
reduces corona loss than any other shape
The voltage stress and electric field gradient should be minimized which can be accomplished by using
good high voltage design practices. Using conductors with large radii reduce corona loss
Void free solid conductors and insulators should be used
Corona formation can be suppressed, if the terminals on high voltage equipment are designed with smooth
round diameter rounded shapes like balls and the addition of corona rings to insulators of high voltage
transmission lines
VI. Conclusion
Using matlab program for the sample analysis, it is found that in wet conditions, the value of corona
loss is more than that of the dry season. Underground cables with good insulation design can prevent power loss
since this will not be much affected by changing in weather conditions.
