Abstract
Abstract
Due to the necessary transition to renewable energy, the transport of electricity over long distances will become increasingly important, since the sites of sustainable electricity generation, such as wind or solar power parks, and the place of consumption can be very far apart. Currently, electricity is mainly transported via overhead AC lines. However, studies have shown that for long distances, transport via DC offers decisive advantages. To make optimal use of the existing route infrastructure, simultaneous AC and DC, or hybrid transmission, should be employed. The resulting electric field strengths must not exceed legally prescribed thresholds to avoid potentially harmful effects on humans and the environment. However, accurate quantification of the resulting electric fields is a major challenge in this context, as they can be easily distorted (e.g. by the measurement equipment itself). Nonetheless knowledge of the undisturbed field strengths from DC up to several multiples of the fundamental frequency of the power-grid (up to 1 kHz) is required to ensure compliance with the thresholds. Both AC and DC electric fields can result in the generation of corona ions in the vicinity of the line. In the case of pure AC fields, the corona ions generated typically recombine in the immediate vicinity of the line and, therefore, have no influence on the field measurement further away. Unfortunately, this assumption does not hold for DC fields and hybrid fields, where corona ions can be transported far away from the line (e.g. by wind), and potentially interact with the measurement equipment yielding incorrect measurement results. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art technologies and methods which have been developed to address the problems of measuring the electric field near hybrid power lines.
