Features: This book is the first book in China about ultra-high voltage (UHV) power grids, which holds guiding significance for the development of China's UHV power grid. It introduces the development history of power grids from high voltage to UHV and the future prospects of the UHV backbone network of China State Grid. It also comprehensively and systematically elaborates on the system characteristics and economic benefits of UHV power grids, as well as the system characteristics of UHV AC and DC transmission. From a technical perspective, it covers internal overvoltage in UHV power grids and its mitigation measures, lightning overvoltage in UHV power grids and lightning protection, insulation and coordination in UHV power grids, corona on UHV overhead transmission lines and its environmental impact, power frequency electric and magnetic fields in UHV power grids, conductors, hardware, and towers of UHV overhead transmission lines, UHV substations, and UHV electrical equipment. UHV power grids refer to modern large-scale power grids with a hierarchical, zoned, and clearly structured backbone network of 1000kV transmission lines, as well as superhigh-voltage and high-voltage transmission grids, UHV DC transmission, high-voltage DC transmission, and distribution networks.
This book is the first book in China about UHV power grids, which holds guiding significance for the development of China's UHV power grid. It consists of 11 chapters, introducing the development history of power grids from high voltage to UHV and the future prospects of the UHV backbone network of China State Grid. It comprehensively and systematically elaborates on the system characteristics and economic benefits of UHV power grids, as well as the system characteristics of UHV AC and DC transmission. From a technical perspective, it covers internal overvoltage in UHV power grids and its mitigation measures, lightning overvoltage in UHV power grids and lightning protection, insulation and coordination in UHV power grids, corona on UHV overhead transmission lines and its environmental impact, power frequency electric and magnetic fields in UHV power grids, conductors, hardware, and towers of UHV overhead transmission lines, UHV substations, and UHV electrical equipment.
The writing style of this book meets the needs of different reader groups. First, it is suitable for technicians in high-voltage fields and various research areas to conduct in-depth studies on UHV power grids. Second, it helps power engineers who have long been engaged in non-UHV technologies to master UHV technical knowledge. Third, it helps students passionate about high-voltage and power technologies to broaden their horizons. Finally, it also meets the learning and reference needs of non-electrical professionals interested in UHV.
