Price Quality Adjustments for Public Infrastructure Works. Case Study in the South of Mexico.
Do you see power lines moving right-to-left, left-to-right on the wind? That’s due to a phenomenon called aeolian vibration. Aeolian vibration is what happens when the wind causes the power lines to shake, in some cases dangerously so or to an extent that damages the transmission infrastructure.
A remedy for those problematic wavy power lines
In order to suppress aeolian vibration, Xinchuang has prepared a Spacer damper for high-voltage transmission line. A spacer damper is a device used to limit the travel of the power line due to wind. By adding spacer dampers to the transmission lines, we are able to help maintain the power lines in an upright manner and reduce the amount the lines sway.
Method of improving the performance of high voltage transmission system
When power lines are dancing with aeolian vibration, it results in energy loss and inefficiency in transmission system. In the end, by cutting down on the movement of the power lines by way of spacer dampers, we can aid high-voltage transmission systems become more effective. That means more electricity can be sent from power plants to homes and businesses without wasting energy.
Reducing the possibility of vibration damage cause by wind
Vibration due to wind can lead to damage of overhead transmission lines and towers. This can result in loss of power and expensive repairs. We can reduce the potential for damage from wind-induced vibration using spacer dampers. Spacer Dampers dissipates wind energy to the conductor preventing damage to the transmission line due to the excessive wind generated loads.
By increasing the stability and the reliability of transmission infrastructures
When power lines are stable and not jiggling too much, it serves to improve the overall stability and reliability of the transmission system. Spacer dampers are important in holding the power lines in position, even on a windy day. This makes power outages less likely, and power can be transmitted safely and efficiently to where it is needed.
Technological solutions against the problem of aeolian vibration
Xinchuang is dedicated to utilizing technology to deploy solutions dealing with the aeolian vibration against high-voltage transmission lines. By consistently innovating and introducing new solutions such as spacer dampers, we can contribute to maintaining the strength, stability and reliability of transmission infrastructure. We can mitigate the hazardous effects of aeolian vibration on power lines and the transmission system by the application of spacer dampers.
All in all, spacer dampers are considered a crucial method to decreasing aeolian vibration and maintaining stability and reliability of high-voltage transmission lines. Utilizing the spacer dampers, we can improve the performance of transmission lines, reduce the possibility of wind caused damage and use technology to fight the effects of aeolian vibration.
