Hybrid Active and Passive Cable Contour Shielding of Magnetic Fields of Double-Circuit Overhead Power Lines

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to design a hybrid screen designed to reduce the level of the magnetic field generated by double-circuit overhead power lines, to increase the efficiency of shielding the original magnetic field in residential buildings, to the level of sanitary standards and to reduce the sensitivity of the system to changes in system parameters. To achieve this goal, the structure of a hybrid screen was determined, consisting of a double contour active and a cable contour passive part. The developed hybrid screen is characterized by increased efficiency in reducing the magnetic field of industrial frequency. Designing a hybrid screen comes down to solving a minimax vector optimization problem, in which the vector objective function is calculated based on solution to Maxwell's equations in a quasi-stationary approximation using the COMSOL Multiphysics software package. The solution to the minimax vector optimization problem is calculated based on multi-particle swarm optimization algorithms from Pareto-optimal solutions taking into account binary preference relations. During the design of the hybrid screen, the coordinates of the spatial location of the two compensation windings, as well as the magnitude of the currents and its phases in the windings of the active screen, were calculated. The important results are theoretical and experimental studies on the effectiveness of the designed hybrid magnetic field shield generated by double-circuit overhead power lines. The significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that practical recommendations are given for a reasonable choice of the spatial arrangement of two shielding windings of a robust system of hybrid shielding of the magnetic field generated by double-circuit overhead power lines.
