Abstract

This study investigates the control effect of a viscoelastic anti-dancing device on long-span high-voltage transmission lines subjected to icing conditions. The growing frequency of icing on transmission lines presents significant risks, including structural damage and service interruptions. The viscoelastic anti-dancing device aims to mitigate the negative impacts of dynamic oscillations induced by wind and ice accumulation. Through a combination of field tests and numerical simulations, the device's performance is assessed in terms of its ability to reduce vibration amplitudes and enhance the stability of transmission lines. Results demonstrate a marked improvement in oscillation control, leading to increased reliability and safety of high-voltage power transmission during adverse weather conditions. This research offers valuable insights into the use of viscoelastic materials for designing protective devices for transmission lines.
