Abstract
The conductor connection structure in gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) is vital for power grid stability. Traditional inspections require power outages or fault signal detection post-failure, lacking real-time internal structure assessment. This paper introduces an in situ computed Tomography (CT) inspection technology for ultra-high voltage GIL conductors, aiming for non-destructive, high-precision, real-time monitoring. It analyzes Yuyang line GIL’s inspection needs and designs a system with a ring-clamping mechanism and adaptable scanning path. A specialized algorithm tackles incomplete data and imaging accuracy issues unique to GIL. Experiments show the technology’s ability to image GIL conductor connections in three-dimensional (3D), detect defects, and deformations, crucial for GIL’s safe operation and maintenance by identifying and preventing potential failures.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing, a translation of Defectoskopiya, is a publication of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This publication offers current Russian research on the theory and technology of nondestructive testing of materials and components. It describes laboratory and industrial investigations of devices and instrumentation and provides reviews of new equipment developed for series manufacture. Articles cover all physical methods of nondestructive testing, including magnetic and electrical; ultrasonic; X-ray and Y-ray; capillary; liquid (color luminescence), and radio (for materials of low conductivity).
