Abstract
The coupling characteristics of overhead wires under high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) have been extensively studied. However, the effects of low-altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) on the field values at observation points vary with explosion height, yield, and ground medium, and the coupling characteristics of overhead wires under low-altitude NEMP remain unresolved. To address this issue, this article proposes a solution. First, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed within a rotated ellipsoidal-hyperbolic orthogonal coordinate system to solve Maxwell’s equations and the air ionization equation, thus obtaining the source field at the location of the overhead wires. Subsequently, these results are used as an excitation source to calculate the response characteristics of the overhead wires with terminal loads using transmission line methods. Finally, the impacts of factors such as explosive yield, altitude, ground conductivity, terminal impedance, and cable height on the terminal induced current of overhead wires located at the edge of the source region under low-altitude NEMP incidence are analyzed. This study provides theoretical support and reference value for the protective design of power systems.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
