      Jin, Jia Yi; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel; Qin, hu; Jiang, Xingliang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In order to optimize the wind turbine operation in ice prone cold regions, it is important to better understand the ice accretion process and how it affects the wind turbine performance. In this paper, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based 2D and 3D numerical techniques are used to simulate the airflow/droplet behaviour and resultant ice accretion on a 300 kW wind ...

    • Study of Wind Flow Angle and Velocity on Ice Accretion of Transmission Line Composite Insulators 

      Huang, Yafei; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel; Jiang, Xingliang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-18)
      Ice accretion on insulators in cold regions is a serious and inevitable problem for power transmission lines, which may cause over-load and icing flashover accidents and can lead to wide power outage. In this research work, multiphase numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the effect of wind flow angle & velocity on the ice accretion of transmission line composite insulators. To verify ...
