Abstract

Overview

This essay reviews innovative methodologies for assessing electric field values in areas close to high-voltage transmission facilities. It specifically addresses environments where buildings are proximal to high-voltage transmission lines.

Findings

  • Modeling of scenarios using the finite element method for buildings near these high-risk areas.
  • Introduction and simulation of a novel approach aimed at reducing electric field exposure.
  • Comparative analysis of the simulation results with existing health and safety standards.

Conclusion

Significant improvements in electric field values were observed, in some instances exceeding a 65% reduction rate. This confirms a notable connection between effective control methods and enhanced safety standards in building proximity to high-voltage lines.
