The Analysis of Galloping-Endurance Character of 500kV Power Transmission Tower

Abstract:

With transmission line galloping occurring frequently in recent years, the phenomenon of tower damaged by galloping has become more and more serious, even with the whole tower collapsed during galloping. According to the statistic and analysis on the towers in 500kV transmission line of Henan power grid, which had been damaged by the galloping accidents in the winter of 2009 to 2010, The galloping section of 500kV Kai-Xiang Line with the typical impaired character had been selected for laboratory modeling and test. Through a series of tests, the maximum loading position and the vibration model for tower had been found, and the changing character of towers dynamic response with ice thickness, galloping amplitude and frequency analyzed. The loading-endurance character of rod and bolts joint, as the major components of tower, had been tested and analyzed respectively. The bolts joints, had been proved as the weakest point for galloping-endurance performance of the whole tower. The study stated in this paper would provide guidance and suggestion to the alteration on galloping prevention and controlling for transmission line. It was also shown that, developing the study on the locking performance of bolts joints on tower is quite essential.
