-it prevents conductor from electrical surges -it increases virtual diameter hence conductor can carry more current -corona discharge is used in photo copier and laser printers
A corona discharge is the ionization of the surrounding atmosphere after an electrical discharge. This can usually be seen as a glowing of a different color near high voltage conductor points.
Advantages of corona in power system
Yes.

Corona discharge depends on the frequency of the supply because the alternating electric field influences the ionization of air around conductors. Higher frequencies can lead to more frequent changes in the electric field, promoting ionization and increasing the likelihood of corona discharge. Additionally, at lower frequencies, the time for the electric field to reverse may allow for recombination of ions, reducing corona effects. Thus, the frequency impacts the efficiency and intensity of the corona phenomenon.
It is based on the principle of static induction and action of points (corona discharge)
When Corona Discharge occurs it forms ozone and nitrogen oxides. These combined with moisture to prduce nitric acid, which is destructive to most dielectrics and certain metallic compositions, resulting in corrosion. In addition, the high energy in some discharges results in mechanical, electrical, and thermal damage. SC
Due to corona effect virtually conductor size is increase and therefor resistance in transmission line is decreases.so I2R losses will decreases...

The virtual diameter of the conductor becomes greater to carry more current
