The paper presents the possibility of using GIS tools and 3D graphic software to assess the impact of high voltage overhead transmission lines on the landscape. The paper uses a digital elevation model developed on the basis of airborne laser scanning data. In addition, potential locations and high voltage overhead transmission lines tower heights have been used. The Viewshed tool available in the ArcGIS software made it possible to calculate the visibility range of tower. To limit the spatial range of the analysis 3D simulations were carried out in Blender version 2.79. Visibility range analysis was performed in the range from 250 m to 3000 m in steps of 250 m. The render analysis in relation to the percentage of the area occupied by the HVOTLs tower in the total field of view, allowed to limit the range of the analysis. Calculations have shown that the range of the HVOTLs tower impact assessment should be limited to 2 km. The very strong and strong visual impact of the tower range from 0 to 250 m. In contrast, there is a significant impact between 251 m and 750 m and a moderate and weak impact above 750 m.

This article proposes a novel methodology to evaluate the visual impact of high-voltage lines in urban areas based on photographic images. The use of photographs allows for calculating the overall aesthetic impact while eliminating the subjective factors of the observer. To apply the proposed methodology based on photographs, the impact of the position and angle where the photograph was taken was analyzed, and a sensibility analysis was carried out. Moreover, it was applied to an application case, and a comparison with results from a previous study of a visual impact was performed. The methodology shows good performance and a better resolution of the indicator.

The paper is devoted to the use of RFID-technology in electrical power engineering, in particular, for controlling the condition of high-voltage equipment of feeding transmission lines. It also describes studies on development of RFID-tag designed to indicate dielectric condition of line polymer insulator. The authors present results of tests of pilot samples of LKi-70/110-4-GP-UKhL1 polymer stick insulators with built-in RFID-indicators. The tests have been executed in accordance with the GOST R 55189-2012 requirements. As a result, the authors have made a conclusion on the possibility of using RFID-technologies for technical control of insulators on overhead transmission lines, high-voltage equipment of traction and transformer substations.

Lighting is one of the important reasons of transmission line trip accident. For 330kV and above ultra high voltage transmission line, lighting flashover more frequently occur. To reduce tripping rate effectively and fundamentally, lightning over voltage level should be analyzed besides anti-pollution flashover. In this paper, a simplified equivalent circuit model of a 330kV overhead transmission lines is established. The lightning over voltage of the transmission is analyzed and calculated. Method to reduce the lightning overvoltage is discussed.
