Abstract

See full text

A device to be attached to an overhead power line for the purpose of manipulating movement of the overhead power line comprises an electric power source; a base, defining a base plane; and a clamp, secured to the base, to be attached to a section of the overhead power line. The device further comprises a flywheel, having a rotational axis; an actuator, arranged to adjust the rotational axis of the flywheel in dependency of an actuator control signal; and an electric motor, arranged to rotate the flywheel about the rotational axis in dependency of a motor control signal. The device further comprises an acceleration sensing device, secured to the base, providing an acceleration signal; and a controller device, arranged to receive the acceleration signal and to provide the motor control signal and the actuator control signal. The controller device is configured to operate in an overhead power line stabilizing mode. In the overhead power stabilizing mode, the controller device calculates the motor control signal and the actuator control signal in dependency of the acceleration signal in such a way as to minimize the acceleration signal. Advantageously, the controller device is also configured to operate in in an ice removal mode. In the ice removal mode, the controller device calculates the motor control signal and the actuator control signal in dependency of the acceleration signal in such a way as to cause fluctuations in the acceleration measured by the acceleration sensing device.
