A Predictive Model for Dry-Growth Icing on Composite Insulators under Natural Conditions

Icing can adversely influence electric power system security. Two main issues are caused by icing: the overload of transmission lines, and the reduction in the insulation ability of the insulators. Most previous research has focused on the flashover characteristics of ice-covered insulators, but res...
