PSCAD 4.6.2FACE – Field and Corona Effects Corona and field performance is an important consideration in the design and operation of high voltage transmission lines. FACE, developed by the Manitoba Hydro International Ltd., can be used to quickly determine the overall corona and field effects. FACE is a computation program used by utilities, consultants, researchers, academia and vendors to assess audible and electromagnetic environmental impacts of transmission lines before undertaking large projects. FACE calculates the audible noises and corona effects by using empirical formulas developed by industry standards. It computes radio interferences by the semi-analytical method, in which generating functions are utilized, and the frequency domain modal analysis is employed to analyze the transmission line geometries. The charge-free fields are...

Aurora FEST3D 2018FEST3D is able to efficiently analyse different kind of passive RF structures in waveguide technology.Basically, FEST3D is based on an integral equation technique efficiently solved by the Method of Moments.Additionally, the Boundary Integral-Resonant Mode Expansion (BI-RME) method is employed for extracting the modal chart of complex waveguides with arbitrary cross-section. The successful combination of such methods ensures a high degree of accuracy, as well as reduced computational resources (in terms of CPU time and memory).On this basis, FEST3D is able to simulate complex passive devices in extremely short times (of the order of seconds or few minutes), whereas general purpose software (based on segmentation techniques such as finite elements or finite differences) can spend hours for the same...
