Basic EPS objects, which service life has exceeded normative value, increasingly affect – every year to a greater extent – the efficiency of overall performance. This manifests itself in increase of a number of automatic emergency shutdowns, an amount and complexities of accident-hazardous defects. After the expiration of the standard service life, there is a special need for a quantitative assessment of reliability and safety of an object. It is recommended to organize the operation, maintenance and repair of these objects according to their technical condition, and since it determines the reliability and safety of the object, these properties should be taken into account more fully. The relevant recommendations in electric power systems are implemented at a qualitative level, intuitively, according to the operating experience. There are neither quantitative evaluations nor methodology for their performance. Therefore, a method and algorithm of quantitative assessment of integral indicators of reliability and safety of operation of thermal power units of thermal power plants as concentrated objects of continuous operation were previously analyzed by the authors. The present paper examines distributed objects of continuous operation, viz. overhead power transmission lines with a voltage of 110 kV and higher, whose service life exceeds the standard value. Attention is paid to the issues of quantitative assessment of the degree of aging for a set of overhead power transmission lines, classification of these lines to identify the most significant classes and methodology for assessing the difference in the degree of aging when classifying them according to specified types of signs (for example, the difference in the degree of aging of overhead power transmission lines of grid enterprises of electric power systems). It is shown that it unacceptable to use the estimates of the relative number of overhead power transmission lines, the service life of which exceeds the calculated one, for comparison since it causes a great risk of an erroneous decision. The methodology and algorithm of methodological support of the management of electric power systems and grid enterprises in the organization of operation, maintenance and repair have been developed.

Overhead Power Transmission Lines

The organization of operation, maintenance and repair of the basic technological facilities of electric power systems (EPS), which are beyond their designed service life (hereinafter referred to as ageing facilities, or AFs) is one of the problems that determine the energy security of many countries, including economically developed nations. The principal cause of insufficient overall performance of AFs is the traditional focus of the EPS management on economic efficiency and the insufficient attention to reliability and safety of AFs. The tendency to nonlinear growth in the frequency of occurrence of unacceptable consequences in the EPS requires ensuring the operational reliability and safety of AFs. The averaged estimates of reliability and safety used at designing power facilities are not suitable for characterization of overall operational performance. Among the basic and the least investigated (in terms of operational reliability and safety) EPS facilities are overhead power transmission lines (OPL) with a voltage of 110 кV and above. This is for a reason. OPL are electric power facilities with elements distributed along a multi-kilometer line (supports, insulators, wires, accessories, etc.). That is what makes the organization of continuous monitoring of the technical condition of each of these elements, and, consequently, the assessment of operational reliability and safety, so problematic. A method is suggested for assessment of “weak links” among the operated OPL on operative intervals of time along with a method for assessment of the technical condition of OPL at examination of a representative sample.

Abstract The proposed methodology summarizes published and original domestic and foreign theoretical and experimental materials on heating and cooling of spiral and shaped wires of overhead power transmission lines and electric power systems and uses those of them that best meet the fundamental laws of heat transfer. Formulas for calculating the surface area for spiral and shaped wires are given. A generalized formula for the convective heat transfer coefficient taking into account the direction and speed of the wind, including for the anti-ice regime, is given. The parameters of this formula do not coincide with the existing ones, since they are based on the experimental data for spiral and shaped wires, and not for round pipes. The formula for calculating the power of heat transfer under solar radiation is given. A generalized formula is given for calculating the continuous allowable current, all components of which are described in detail in the article.

The Cost

The present report deals with economic issues of selecting means ensuring the capacity adequacy of electric power systems. Cost analysis of various engineering measures ensuring the capacity adequacy has been performed, namely: construction of backup generating facilities, erection of new power transmission lines, or increase of transmission capacity of existing power lines. The cost-based analysis has been conducted based on investment programs and regulatory acts in place. Recommendations on developing computational models of power systems have been given based on the results obtained in order to assess the capacity adequacy parameters, with account made for the cost of various engineering measures to be taken for their improvement.In prevailing practice of calculation of capacity adequacy parameters, the structure of electric power systems transmission network is presented as a transport model which makes an aggregate of reliability zones and tie-lines between them of a given transmission capacity. The main objective of calculation of capacity adequacy parameters is to determine the required generating capacity redundancy level, i.e. the values of the capacity margin and its location within electric power systems to ensure a required level of capacity adequacy. With that in mind, when evaluating and accordingly when forming transport models, it should be useful to take into account the transmission constraints only for those power grid segments, whose cost of transmission capacity increase is comparable with that of construction of new generating facilities.On the basis of calculation data, one may state that for overhead electric lines of short or average length the cost of 1 kW of its transmission capacity will be considerably lower than that of installed capacity of a new generating facility, with the above costs comparable only with the length of the line close to its critical value. When forming transport models of electric power systems, it is useful to take into account not only the distance between electric power system nodes, but also their potential need of margin capacity. As far as remote nodes are concerned, if these are of low need in margin capacity, it should be reasonable to separate them as specifi c reliability areas.

The Mathematical Model

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.
