Type: article
Abstract: High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems are transforming the global energy landscape, distinguished by their efficiency, stability, and low impact on the electrical grid. One of the challenges of HVDC transmission line design is assessing the generated stray magnetic field, as it can have negative effects on human health and the environment. This study presents an analytical methodology for calculating the magnetic field density at any point along an HVDC line corridor. It considers the spatial configuration, the current per pole, and the location of the conductors. The equations allow for the calculation of the horizontal and vertical components of the field, as well as its total magnitude. A practical case study of a ±500 and ±600 kV HVDC two-pole transmission line is presented. The methodology was programmed in MATLAB® version R2024a to calculate the magnetic field density, and the results are consistent with those obtained with the established methodology. The presented methodology can be applied to monopolar and two-pole HVDC overhead transmission lines, offering speed and accuracy.
