Design and analysis of wireless power supply system for high‐voltage transmission lines across 500‐kV insulator distance

Abstract

AbstractThe energy harvesting of ultra‐high voltage transmission lines and wireless power transmission technology are effective means to solve the stable energy supply of outdoor tower equipment. However, there are inevitably technical problems such as long transmission distance, weak coupling, and parameter sensitivity. In this paper, an effective design approach for a power demand‐oriented long‐distance wireless power transmission system is proposed. With the goal of transmitting power, a system equivalent parameter model is established to address the sensitivity of design parameters for the point‐to‐point long‐distance wireless power transmission system, and the main influencing factors that lead to system power transmission failure are analyzed. To effectively address the impact of high‐sensitivity parameters, a fast‐tuning method with redundant capacitance matrix compensation is proposed, which improves the deviation problem in system parameter design, improves the efficiency of offset parameter matching, and analyzes the impact of wireless energy transmission systems on high‐voltage insulator strings. Finally, an experimental platform was constructed to achieve power transmission at a distance of not less than 5 m at a resonant frequency of 50 kHz. The transmission efficiency met the design expectations and verified the effectiveness of the analysis.
