While uprating an overhead line to a higher voltage level, it is often difficult to achieve the required clearance level for the uprated structure. Use of Transmission Line Arresters (TLAs) is an effective technique in controlling overvoltages and thereby, achieving the required clearance margin. In this paper, suitability of this technique in reducing the clearance margin is discussed. A case study...
This paper presents a comparative lightning performance study conducted on a 275 kV double circuit shielded transmission line using two software programs, TFlash and Sigma-Slp. The line performance was investigated by using both a single stroke and a statistical performance analysis and considering cases of shielding failure and backflashover. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine the...
In this paper, a numerical model is developed to determine the earth impedance of transmission towers, which can incorporate the effect of the variations of the tower resistances along the line, the end effect of the terminating substation and the effect of the auxiliary current electrode. The model is based on the computation of the potential at the test tower and the potential at any point on the...
In the design of high-altitude high-voltage transmission systems and in the optimization of the reliability of power sources in aeronautical environments, it is important to have reliable data concerning the effect of air density and humidity on reducing air insulation performance under local conditions. This is helpful also in the modeling of discharges and lightning in mountainous regions. This...
This paper investigates the effects of earth wire isolation on tower base voltages at a single tower of an overhead transmission line. Computation studies on a generic tower line were carried out. Various models developed to represent transmission lines including earth wires, phase conductors with different scenarios of fault locations were simulated using 'CDEGS' for direct lightning strikes to earth...
