Abstract

The past several decades have seen a rapid increase of open-air substations to satisfy energy demands, which is partly contributed by up-to-date knowledge and development on short-circuit mechanical effects in substations from a structural engineering viewpoint. Substation structures with flexible conductors are complex, and nonlinear dynamics analysis is required. In this paper, ADINA will be used for such purposes with considerations of geometry nonlinear behaviour of conductor cables under short-circuit loadings. Focus is placed on the investigations of effects of droppers and spacers, together with pinch effects for twin conductors considering the contact nonlinearity.
