A Comprehensive Review of EMF Exposure in Power Systems: Computational Models, Measurement Methods, and Mitigation Approaches
摘要
The estimation of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure levels is important in the power system environment in adhering to the guidelines related to occupational and public exposure. Computational techniques play a vital role in the estimation of EMF exposure. The computational techniques commonly used to model and assess EMF exposures are discussed, highlighting their capabilities and limitations. The modeling techniques used for the estimation of EMF exposure in power system environments such as substations and transmission lines are reviewed. Various attempts made by researchers with different software packages for EMF estimation are summarised. In residential setups and transportation systems, the in-situ field measurements are generally used for estimation of EMF exposure. The summary of such recent measurements reported in the literature is reviewed. The mitigation techniques used for reducing the EMF exposure in substations, transmission lines, along with various measures used for reducing field exposure in residential setups and transportation systems, are reported. Finally, the future perspectives in view of EMF exposure are given for the interested researchers to work in this area.
