Modeling and Analysis of Progressive Ice Shedding along a Transmission Line during Thermal De-Icing

Progressive ice shedding (PIS) along transmission lines is a common type of ice shedding during thermal de-icing that requires investigation to ensure the security of transmission lines. In current research, PIS is commonly analyzed using a constant speed for ice detaching from the conductor, which...
