DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION LINE WITH USE OF PLS-CADD & MONITORING SAG AND TENSION

Abstract

Power is the basic key for growth of any country’s economy. The increased demand of electricity, need to optimize the utilization of power generation capacity and increase in the interconnections are the major issues with which power sector is dealing with. Energy consumption per person is also rising tremendously in developing countries. However, installing a new power plant cannot be a solution every time. Dense population, availability of land, initial and installation cost can be the major issues in this case. Huge transfer of power from generating plants to load centre at long distance with bulky transmission lines is causing to upgrade voltage class to Extra High Voltage (EHV) from High Voltage (HV).

Information monitoring system of transmission line operation based on data analysis

“…Early power system administrators used regular inspections and regular maintenance to ensure the safe operation of transmission lines, but there were some problems, such as low operation efficiency, high labor maintenance cost, and the lack of monitoring means to reflect the changes of line status in real time, which led to accidents [5]. With the development of computer, sensor, wireless communication and network information technology, on-line monitoring systems, such as insulator contamination, insulator icing, conductor galloping, remote remote viewing system, conductor temperature, anti-theft system, conductor capacity increasing system and radar positioning system, etc.…”
