T1 - Böenbeanspruchung von Freileitungsseilen - Naturmessungen, Windkanalversuche und numerische Simulationen N2 - Im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojekts zur Tragverhaltensstudie von Freileitungsseilen unter Böenbeanspruchung soll durch die Kombination von Naturmessungen, Windkanalversuchen und numerischen Simulationen versucht werden, das mechanische Verhalten von Freileitungsseilen und turbulenter Windbeanspruchung genauer abzubilden. Die Unsicherheiten bei der Modellierung dieses Zufallsprozesses sollen durch Windkanalversuche und Naturmessungen auf ein Minimum reduziert werden. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden Ergebnisse von Simulationen mit den Beobachtungen aus den Naturmessungen verglichen und bewertet.

For reliable information on the horizontal distribution of the wind flow, 13 positions along two spans of an overhead electrical line of about 400 m length each are selected for wind velocity measurements. Simultaneously, the structural response is measured at the towers. Preliminary analyses aim at the appraisal of results what is important for the upcoming system identification. It is shown that system identification of long span transmission lines exposed to gusty wind is possible by derivation of a so called joint acceptance function which describes the admittance from wind velocity to the system’s response.

T1 - Wind measurements along a high-voltage overhead transmission line in northern Germany N2 - The paper focuses on a recently launched project of wind measurements along a high voltage overhead transmission line. For reliable information on the actual horizontal distribution of the wind flow, 13 positions along two spans of an overhead electrical line of about 400 m length each are selected for wind measurements. Simultaneously, the structural response is measured at the towers. Preliminary analyses aim at the system identification of long span transmission lines exposed to gusty wind by derivation of a so called joint acceptance function which describes the admittance from wind velocity to the system's response. It can be shown that measured structural response can accurately be described using a statistical model which accounts for the irregularity of the wind as well as the structure’s behaviour.

Aerodynamic damping is considered in the equation of motion by taking into account the relative velocity between the flow of the wind and the moving structure. The wind flow itself is simulated by wave superposition making necessary assumptions on the lateral correlation between the wind velocities along the cable length. As result from the simulation, the following conclusions can be drawn. The first natural frequency of generally used wide spanning cables lies well below 1 Hz where also most of the energy content of the wind excitation is to be expected. Aerodynamic damping is significant for the moving cables holding very low structural damping which leads to a suppression of resonant amplification. This is particularly of interest regarding the support reaction which is dominated by the mean value and the so called background response. The latter is mostly influenced by the randomness of the wind flow, especially lateral to the main wind direction.

T1 - Numerical simulation of an overhead power line section under wind excitation using wind tunnel test results and in-situ measured data N2 - Overhead transmission lines are very sensitive structures in regards to wind action. The cables, spanning over a few hundred meters contribute in particular to the overall action on the suspension towers. These slender structures incorporate both structural nonlinearities from the large deformation of the cables and aerodynamic nonlinearities which need to be accounted for when it is to estimate the system response to strong wind events. In this work, a finite element procedure is presented to model an existing power line section using nonlinear cable elements. The wind force is assumed quasi-steady with force coefficients determined in wind tunnel test on a conductor section. Further, aerodynamic damping is incorporated by considering the relative velocity between cable nodes and oncoming wind flow. The results are compared with on-site measurements of the cable’s support reaction. The results show a significant effect of damping since almost no resonant amplification is visible both in observation and simulation. In addition, wind tunnel tests approved aerodynamic damping to be large for the system of sagging cables, but nonlinear in its nature. It is concluded, that the dynamic response of overhead transmission line cables has to be modeled with care, considering all sources of nonlinearities. That is of particular interest in case of random excitation such as wind because the peak response depends on the probability distribution of the system's response.

T1 - Overhead transmission line cables under wind gust loading - measurements and numerical simulations N2 - Overhead transmission lines with conductor cables spanning over a few hundred meters are highly sensitive to the action of wind. Particularly wind acting on the cables signifies a major load on the suspension towers. In order to identify critical loading parameters and the load-response mechanism of those structures, measurements are carried out along a high voltage overhead transmission line capturing the acting wind field as well as the structural response of the cables. A finite element model of the structure is built and used to simulate the system's response. A method is presented which allows generating a complete wind field for all the model’s nodes incorporating measured wind velocities and estimated parameters of the acting wind. The full scale measurements of both action and reaction will be compared to the numerical results.
