Techno-Economic Analysis of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Substation

Abstract:

This paper studies on the technical and economic analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) substation framework. Firstly, based on the comparison of the material performance and price, we select the suitable fiber and resin as the main building material for substation framework. Then on the basis of numerical simulation, the bearing capacity of FRP substation truss-column under axial compression and bending is researched, and the initial geometric imperfection is considered in the models. Finally, the behavior of the typical two-span FRP gantry of substation is analyzed, and the economy of FRP substation framework is compared with the steel gantry which owns the same capability.
