This paper proposes a simple method for calculating the lightning impact level on overhead transmission power lines, taking into account its entire length. The method uses lightning historical data and the geographic coordinates of power line towers. It is based on calculating the distances between both arrays of lightning and of towers. The method has been tested on overhead lines in the Murmansk region of the Russian Federation and can be applied to any overhead line if a lightning dataset in the overhead line area is available. This study is useful for electric power suppliers because it provides valuable information about the most lightning-prone sections of overhead power lines. The method can also be beneficial to people selecting the optimal route (least amount of lightning strikes) for power transmission lines based on lightning density.

Abstract The analysis of disturbances (accidents) on overhead power transmission lines and methods and means of the overhead power transmission lines parameters monitoring was carried out. It is shown that the most promising direction for ensuring the required indicators of the reliability of power supply is the development and implementation of information and measurement systems at the facilities of the power supply network complex. The structure of an intelligent information-measuring system for measuring parameters characterizing the state of wires, external factors influencing the state of power lines is proposed. The proposed decision support system will make it possible to promptly identify defective sections of overhead lines, increase the level of technological management of electrical networks.

Structural elements of overhead power transmission lines are experiencing both horizontal and vertical loads. Wires and cables are elements of the overhead power line, on which changes in mechanical loads are observed to a greater degree. This occurs due to the change in the tension force of the wire/cable depending on the temperature and the formation of icy-rime deposits on it, as well as fluctuations in wind gusts. The article describes the most common systems and methods for determining the mechanical loads on an overhead power transmission line. A method is proposed for calculating the mechanical loads on an overhead transmission line based on mathematical models of a flexible wire, rope and a model for determining ice deposits on wires, taking into account the rotation of the wire/cable around its axis. A comparison of the improved inclinometry method with the method developed earlier for the case of formation of ice deposits on the S-50 cable has been carried out. A comparison was made on the error in determining the tension of the S-50 ground-wire protection cable using the method developed to control the mechanical parameters of overhead power lines, which takes into account the wire/cable rotation around its axis and the method for determining icy-rime deposits developed earlier. The developed method allows determining the elongation of the wire/cable in the span with one anchor support, as well as the strength of its tension with greater accuracy. However, additional clarification is required due to the influence of the wind, the formation of icy-rime deposits of various shapes, as well as the structural limitations of the wire/cable rotation when attaching it to the support.

The population explosion and development of the national economy are two main causes of increasing the power demand. Besides, the Distributed Generations (DG) connected with the power transmission and distribution networks increase the transmission power on the existing lines as well. In general, for solving this problem, power utilities have to install some new power transmission and distribution lines. However, in some cases, the install of new power lines can strongly effect to the environment and even the economic efficiency is low. Nowadays, the problem considered by scientists, researchers and engineers is how to use efficiently the existing power transmission and distribution lines through calculating and monitoring their current carrying capacity at higher operation temperature, and thus the optimal use of these existing lines will bring higher efficiency to power companies. Generally, the current carrying capacity of power lines is computed based on the calculation of their thermal fields illustrated in IEEE [1], IEC [2] and CIGRE [3]. In this paper, we present the new approach that is the application of the finite element method based on Comsol Multiphysics software for modeling thermal fields of overhead power transmission lines. In particular, we investigate the influence of environmental conditions, such as wind velocity, wind direction, temperature and radiation coefficient on the typical line of ACSR. The comparisons between our numerical solutions and those obtained from IEEE have been shown the high accuracy and applicability of finite element method to compute thermal fields of overhead power transmission lines.

This paper investigates a mathematical model of one elements of the power supply system - power transmission lines. The type of models depends on the initial simplifications, which in turn are determined by the complexity of the physics of processes. The task of improving the accuracy of modeling of emergency processes in the power system is due to the significant complexity of modern power systems and their equipment, high-speed relay protection, automation of emergency management and the introduction of higher-speed switching equipment. One of the reasons for a significant number of serious emergencies in the system is the lack of complete and reliable information for modeling modes in the design and operation of power systems. The development of a mathematical model of a three-phase power line, which provides adequate reflection of both normal and emergency processes, is relevant. The advanced mathematical model of power transmission lines allows to investigate various operational modes of electric networks. The improved mathematical model of the power transmission line reflects all the features of physical processes at state modes and transient process and provides sufficient accuracy of the results. The type of mathematical model of power transmission lines depends on the accepted simplifications, depending on the task of research. The purpose of this work is to analyze the mathematical model of the power transmission line to study the modes of operation of the power supply system, with the possibility of its application to take into account all the design features of overhead and cable power lines. The mathematical model of the power line for the study of the modes of operation of the power supply system is analyzed. It is used to take into account the design features of overhead and cable power lines, skin effect.

The power transmission lines are the link between power plants and the points of consumption, through substations. Most importantly, the assessment of damaged aerial power lines and rusted conductors is of extreme importance for public safety; hence, power lines and associated components must be periodically inspected to ensure a continuous supply and to identify any fault and defect. To achieve these objectives, recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used; in fact, they provide a safe way to bring sensors close to the power transmission lines and their associated components without halting the equipment during the inspection, and reducing operational cost and risk. In this work, a drone, equipped with multi-modal sensors, captures images in the visible and infrared domain and transmits them to the ground station. We used state-of-the-art computer vision methods to highlight expected faults (i.e., hot spots) or damaged components of the electrical infrastructure (i.e., damaged insulators). Infrared imaging, which is invariant to large scale and illumination changes in the real operating environment, supported the identification of faults in power transmission lines; while a neural network is adapted and trained to detect and classify insulators from an optical video stream. We demonstrate our approach on data captured by a drone in Parma, Italy.

The article describes the study of the characteristics of partial discharges (PD) in various types of artificial defects in cable lines. A total of 13 types of insulation defects are considered. The PD measurements are carried out using a high AC voltage source and a commercial PD recorder. For each type of defect, diagrams of the amplitude-phase distribution of PD (APDPD), the average value of the apparent discharge, and the PD intensity are obtained. The results of the study show that most of the defects of insulators of overhead power lines have a relatively high intensity of partial discharges with a small average apparent charge. In the samples of cable lines, relatively high values of intensity and average apparent discharge are recorded in the presence of a defect in the end seal and a defect in the ground electrode in the form of a needle. The results obtained can be used in the development of devices for detecting defects, as well as for expanding the base of diagrams (APDPD)

With series compensation of the line reactance, the problem of its protection against overcurrents arises regarding relay protection. The greater the degree of compensation, the greater the problem. When compensating for more than 50% of the reactance of the line, the protection of power transmission lines becomes practically impossible due to the failure or false operation of all existing kinds and types of protection [1, 2]. Therefore, as for now, the compensation of the line reactance usually is no more than 50% [3, 4], which does not allow to reveal the full potential of the line in terms of its transmission capacity. The goal of this research was to study the processes occurring in emergency modes on power lines equipped with a series capacitor bank, the understanding of which would help to produce algorithms that can protect power lines with SCB with a degree of the longitudinal resistance compensation of the line of more than 50%.
