(1) The corona onset voltage l/0(i//) is calculated, for the first time
around the periphery of each subconductor of the bundle It
changes from point to point at the subconductor surface in
agreement with experimental findings An expression of the
onset voltage around the periphery of the subconductors has
been developed
(2) The monopolar corona equation is formulated and solved
taking into account the variation of ion mobility with its life
time [3] Starting from the subconductor surface, the charge
density along a flux line increases at first reaching a maximum
and then decreases This is in agreement with previous find
ings [4]
(3) Recent approaches reported in literature have been critically
reviewed It has been checked that the adjustment of the mean
charge density along flux line does not entail a satisfaction of
the boundary conditions at its ends, namely, the voltage at the
coronating and non-coronating electrodes
(4) A method of tracing the flux lines emanating from each subconductor of the bundle is developed
(5) The corona current contributed by each subconductor of the
bundle is calculated and compared with the corresponding
measured values on laboratory model for the first time Pre
vious calculations have never been checked against the
measured corona current per each subconductor [5] The cor
responding V-l characteristics for each subconductor of the
erected EPRI-DOE Project UHVtest line are provided
(6) Values of the charge density, the current density and the field
enhancement factor at both the bundle subconductors and the
ground plane are also provided for the EPRI-DOE test line

Results
It was not the intent of this paper to recommend a particular
calculation method over any other but to provide an objective com
parison between currently available methods Results of applying
the methods to the different line geometries are given in tabular
form In addition, the deviation of calculated noise levels from re
ported measured levels are presented It is generally concluded that
most ac calculation methods give acceptable results for transmis-

the future
This paper has given theoretical and practical demonstrations of
the feasibility of advanced control design for large scale power
systems There are significant remaining issues before application
to power systems can be realized Effort is in progress to perform
thorough robustness evaluations of the controller and to evaluate
the hardware implementation on an HVDC simulator Robustness
evaluations in progress will determine controller effectiveness with
changes in the loading of important generators and changes in the
network structure due to line switching and generator removals or
additions Large signal nonlinear performance will be simulated by
faulting the rectifier commutation bus
