Abstract :
An approach coupling indirect boundary element method with charge simulation method to calculate the electric fields around the head of transmission tower and its composite insulators is presented. On the composite insulators, the indirect boundary element method is used, while on the transmission tower and the transmission lines, the charge simulation method is used. Therefore, both the heterogeneous medium such as the composite insulators and the filament metal structure such as the transmission tower and the transmission lines are considered all together. The electric field distribution around a 330-kV transmission tower and its composite insulators was analyzed. The method gives the possibility to model very complex geometries
