Coupling Vibration Characteristics and Wind-Induced Responses of Large-Span Transmission Lines Under Multi-Dimensional Wind

Transmission lines, crucial for power and urban infrastructure, are vulnerable to wind damage; this paper addresses research gaps in tower-line systems under multi-dimensional wind loads and aerodynamic damping. By incorporating multi-dimensional aerodynamic damping and conducting comprehensive multi-dimensional wind response analysis, it examines parameters like ground roughness and wind attack angles that significantly influence the tower responses, offering a holistic understanding of system behavior under real wind conditions. This study analyzes wind-induced responses of a large-span Chinese transmission line using a finite element model (FEM) with three spans and two towers. This paper conducts modal analyses of a single tower and the tower-line system, comparing their vibration characteristics under one- and multi-dimensional wind loads generated via harmonic superposition methods. Incorporating the multi-dimensional aerodynamic damping, the impact of wind velocity, ground roughness, and wind attack angle on the tower-line system is analyzed through time-history results and gust response factor. The findings reveal that under the premise of multi-dimensional aerodynamic damping, multi-dimensional wind loads significantly amplify responses compared to one-dimensional loads. As wind speed, ground roughness, and wind attack angle increase, responses are elevated, causing complex changes in gust response factors, underscoring the importance of considering multi-dimensional wind loads.
