Description
Summary:Corona current is an important parameter to characterise the corona discharge on high‐voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines. The spectral components of corona current are closely related to a variety of corona effects, such as audible noise. It is of great significance to study the frequency‐domain characteristics of corona current. Here, the relationship between DC component and spectral components of corona current on HVDC transmission lines in the band of 2–20 kHz was analysed. First, a lot of corona current data were measured in two HVDC experiment bases. Then, the expression representing the correlation between DC component and spectral components of corona current within 2–20 kHz was established with the maximum surface nominal electric field intensity of conductor as an intermediate variable. Finally, the correctness and universality of the relationship found were verified. The research results here not only reveal the characteristics of corona discharge but can also provide a new way for obtaining the spectral components of corona current in 2–20 kHz with its DC component, and can lay the foundation to provide a new way to get audible noise indirectly based on the DC component of corona current in the future.
