Finite-element solution of monopolar corona on bundle conductors by Al-Hamouz, Z.

“…A finite-element iterative-based method is developed to analyze the monopolar ionized field and, hence, compute the associated corona power loss on bundle conductors (bundles two, three, and four are considered). The effect of the number of bundles, and the bundle spacing on the corona current and ground-plane current density profiles is investigated. …”
