FACE
FIELD AND CORONA EFFECTS
Field And Corona Effects Solver
​FACE provides the tools to determine the field and corona effects of high voltage AC, DC, and AC/DC transmission lines. Such effects include:
-
Corona loss
-
Audible noise
-
Radio interference
-
Magnetic and static electric fields
-
Ionized fields, ionized charges, and ionized currents
​
FACE calculates losses of electricity and energy with empirically proven formulas based on industry standards. It uses a semi-analytical method to compute radio interferences, where a user-defined parameter generates functions that are available in literature. A frequency domain model analysis technique is utilized to rigorously examine the effects of the transmission line geometrics. The charge-free fields are calculated by the methods of successive images. Ionized fields are computed by implementing an algorithm for non-linear two-point values for at ground DC cases, above ground DC cases, and hybrid cases.
