A Case Study of ESP Electrical Characteristics from a Thermal Power Station

For a thermoelectric power plant was made an analysis upon plate-type electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) for an energetic group depending on the group´s load, in different operation regimes of the high-voltage units. Knowing the ESP´s real I-V characteristics is important for their automation. Using a simulation software in C++ had been determinated the lines of field of potential and the electric field strength in ESPs for five types of discharge wires and collecting electrodes. For realising the simulations had been took account by real sizes of collecting electrodes, discharge wires forms and the distance between collecting electrodes and discharge wires.
