Abstract

This paper presents a numerical model assessing the potential of ionic wind as a heat transfer enhancement method for the cooling of grid distribution assets. Distribution scale power routers (13–37 kV, 1–10 MW) have stringent requirements regarding lifetime and reliability, so that any cooling technique involving moving parts such as fans or pumps are not viable. A new heat sink design combining corona electrodes with bonded fin arrays is presented. The model of the suggested design is solved numerically. It is predicted that applying a voltage of 5 kV on the corona electrodes could increase the heat removed by a factor of five as compared to natural convection.
