These include equipotential zone grounding systems, right-of-way access roads, and staging areas to support vegetation clearing, structure foundation construction, line stringing, maintenance and emergency/storm response initiatives.
The basic idea of modeling the attention field is as follow: firstly, base on the judgment of the field distribution in the space, secondly, analyse the distribution characteristics of equipotential lines, and finally, build a specific potential field values to get the field intensity distribution model.
This paper aims to construct a virtual potential field [16], where each node will have field strength and be divided into different equipotential fields according to the field strength.
