Response Measurement of Overhead Transmission Lines

Power transmission capacity upgrade of overhead lines

Electric power consumption, has been increasing uninterruptedly, being this increase specially accelerated in the last years. New power generators are been built, the installed power increases each year, thus it is necessary a way to transmit the bulk energy. Nowadays electric lines are saturated, they are reaching critical values of ampacity and sag. Therefore building new lines is necessary t...

Fault Location on Compensated Transmission Lines without Current Measurement

This paper presents a novel fault location method for series compensated transmission lines. It is established based on synchronized voltages sampling and Thevenin impedance from both ends of series compensated transmission line. The method is based on the use of phasor measurement units (PMU) technology which is aimed to be independent of current measurements, fault type, fault resistance, fau...

Nonlinear Free Vibrations of Coupled Spans of Overhead Transmission Lines

The weakly nonlinear, freely vibrating motion of a system of coupled spans of suspended overhead transmission lines is studied. It is shown that the natural vibration is the gravity mode, of which the unsteady tension component vanishes in the first harmonic. The problem was born out of a study of the phenomenon of galloping, which is a high amplitude periodic oscillation of overhead transmissi...

Design and selection criteria for HVDC overhead transmission lines insulators

Transmission expansion planning based on merchandizing surplus of transmission lines

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...
