Abstract: Icing on overhead aluminum conductors can cause transmission-line failures. A superhydrophobic surface (SHS) has good anti-icing performance. Herein, a fluorine-free SHS was prepared via spray-coating epoxy-resin-based adhesive (EA) and SiO2 nanoparticles. The EA@SiO2 surface has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tim.2023.3265104
Abstract: Overhead aluminum conductor composite core (ACCC) transmission lines are extensively used. However, internal defects of ACCC wires are difficult to detect, threatening the stability and security of the grid. Thus, a novel automatic detection system… read more here.
