The galloping of iced transmission line under extreme weather conditions, will lead to significant electrical faults and structural damage, and is becoming a serious issue that threatens the safe and stable operation of the power grid. In this paper, a simulation model of 10 kV insulated overhead transmission line is established based on finite element method, and the effects of various influencing factors on the galloping behavior and aerodynamic characteristics are investigated and analyzed. The results show that the aerodynamic stability of the iced lines is poorest, when the wind speed is between 7 and 15 m/s and the wind attack angle is around 50°. As the wind speed increases, the maximum galloping displacement for iced lines exhibits a nonlinear increasing trend. The inflection point wind speed for the elliptical iced line is 5 m/s, while that for the crescent-shaped iced line is 9 m/s. Compared with the elliptical iced lines, the crescent-shaped iced lines gallop more violently with the maximum displacement of 1.7 m. These findings could provide theoretical references for fault analysis and galloping prediction of overhead insulated transmission lines.

In this study, the coupled ordinary differential equations for the galloping of the first two modes in iced bundled conductors, including in-plane, out-of-plane, and torsional directions, are derived. Furthermore, through numerical analysis, the critical conditions of this modal galloping are determined in the range of wind speed-sag parameters, and the galloping patterns and variation laws in different parameter spaces are analyzed. The parameter space is then divided into five regions according to the different galloping modes.

The mechanism of stochastic factors in wind load on iced transmission line galloping has attracted widespread attention. In this paper, the random part of wind load is simulated by Gaussian white noise, and a galloping model of the iced transmission line excited by stochastic wind is established. The path integration method based on the Gauss-Legendre formula and short-time approximation is used to solve the steady-state probability density function of the system and the evolution of the transient probability density.

Galloping of ice-coated transmission lines is occasionally observed under oblique wind directions. However, most current investigations on the galloping mechanisms are for flow perpendicular to the span of the transmission lines. In order to address this gap, this research studies the galloping characteristics of ice-coated transmission lines under oblique flows based on wind tunnel tests.

Ice accretion has adverse effects on a range of commercial and residential activities. The force required to remove ice from a surface is typically considered to scale with the iced area. This imparts a scalability limit to the use of icephobic coatings for structures with large surface areas, such as power lines or ship hulls.
