Modelación del efecto corona en un conductor

Abstract

The modeling of the corona effect in electrical conductors is a constant challenge in engineering due to the energy losses, electromagnetic interference and deterioration it causes; this work proposes to develop and validate a mathematical model to characterize this phenomenon. The corona effect has been widely studied, but its stochastic nature and complex ionization processes make its accurate analysis difficult. To address this problem, two complementary computational tools are used: MATLAB, for statistical data processing and modeling, and ATP-EMTP, for the simulation of electromagnetic transients. One of the main challenges in this type of modeling is to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the model under real conditions, so a comparative analysis between experimental data and simulations is performed.
