The transmission network has been considered among the globe’s prevalent complex systems, comprised of hundreds of electrical transmission lines and other equipment used to transmit electrical energy from one location to another. Over a decade, power engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure that the transmission network operates reliably, transmitting electrical energy from the power station…

In this paper, hexa spacer damper is proposed and its vibration damping effect on the 765 kV power transmission network under the influence of fluctuating wind (10-60 Hz) loading is validated. This asymmetrical loadings led the bundle of Zebra ACSR conductor to be twisted and hence, cause mechanical and electrical instabilities across the span length.…

The paper presents sharing several of experiences and practices on smart robotic application for overhead transmission line maintenance and inspection. First, the pilot-line pulling robot is an invention used to pull a pilot line which is an important step for additional high voltage conductor installation. The puller robot can traverse the overhead ground wire, OHGW,…

In the past decades, various ideas have proposed for reconductoring of overhead lines to enhance power transmission capacity considering growing energy demand. Conventional method of reconductoring is use to take couple of weeks but availability of shutdown for a prolong period is a major constraint in line uprating. Emergency restoration structure (ERS) is effective to…

In this paper a classification system based on a complex-valued neural network is used to evaluate the health state of joints in high voltage overhead transmission lines. The aim of this method is to prevent breakages on the joints through the frequency response measurements obtained at the initial point of the network. The specific advantage…

An optimization method using a semi-analytical approach is detailed in this paper to design a wideband multilayer meander-line polarizer. It consists of the transmission line equivalent circuit study to find the best values of the shunt components that allow the maximum transmission and a 90 phase difference between two orthogonal components over the entire bandwidth,…

There exists a profound difficulty of communication between the people that works in the EMC area in circuit terms and the people that works in field terms. In this paper we show that when the matter is predominantly distributed along a certain direction in space, as for transmission lines, the electromagnetic field can be divided…

In this paper, Compact bandpass filters have been designed. A single bandpass filter was designed using novel triple concentric complementary split-ring resonators placed along the microstrip line in the ground plane. Gaps and via were placed on the microstrip line to control electromagnetic characteristics, resulting in a single bandpass filter. In turn, spiral resonators were…

The objective of this paper is to allocate transmission congestion cost to responsible generators using a novel method. Deregulation of the electrical power system leads to the compulsion of open access to the transmission system for all entities of the power system. There is a trend to utilize cheaper generators by all loads. This leads…

Discrete component based ultra-wideband SPDT switch modelling, design and implementation challenges are reported in this article. The basic SPDT switch is planned to design using PIN diodes (bare die). Nonlinear parameters extraction steps of PIN diode from datasheets have been proposed in this article instead of using readymade nonlinear PIN diode models. Equalizers are designed…

In modern deregulated power industry, private sector has invested a lot to supply for extended power demand using the preexisting power system framework. This resulted into increased loading of transmission lines which has to work now to hit their thermal limits. The overloading of transmission line resulted in congestion and hence increase in loss of…

In this article, a new method to extract the RLC parameters from the structure of a Rotating Traveling Wave Oscillator (RTWO) is described. The use of a 3D simulator (EMPRO) allow us to develop a precise analysis of the impact of the topology, the geometrical discontinuities, and the dimensions of the transmission lines, on the…

The energy marathon is becoming increasingly based on renewable sources, whereas the continuous decrease on the cost of energy production has supported in last decade, for instance, the development of large-scale offshore wind applications. The consistency and availability of the AC-working equipment portfolio is only limited by physical application boundaries, which are quite evident in…

In modern powers systems, one of the most considerable topics is economic load dispatch (ELD). ELD is non-linear problem and it became non-convex and non-smooth problem with some constraints such as valve point loading effect. ELD is very crucial for energy generation and distribution in power systems. For solving ELD problem, a lot of methods…

The Static Var Compensator (SVC) is used to improve the stability of the power system because of its role in injecting or absorbing the reactive power in the electrical transmission lines. The Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is also a control device which ensures maximum power transfer and thus the stability of the power system enhancement.…
