A method for calculating nodal loads with the known supply bus voltage the circuit head section current is developed. The electric network model is represented by the main section, in which the parameters of power transmission lines are known, and means for altering the circuit state are available. The state of the circuit can be altered by changing the supply bus voltage through adjusting the substation power transformer’s OLTC, by changing the parameters of power lines equipped with FACTS devices, or by a combination of both. The nodal voltages at the load nodes will be different in different states, with the power flows remaining unchanged. The advantage of the approach and its theoretical significance lie in the fact that all necessary relationships have been obtained analytically, and that the complex nonlinear problem has correctly been reduced to a set of linear operations. determined. The proposed approach can be used in locating unauthorized connections to the network.

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.

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.

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%.

Energy power flows are an important factor to be calculated and, thus, are needed to be enhanced in an electrical generation system. It is very necessary to optimally locate the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices and improve the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of the power transmission lines. It relieves the congestion of the system and increases the flow of power. This research study has been accomplished in two stages: optimization of location of FACTS device by the novel Sensitivity and Power loss-based Congestion Reduction (SPCR) method and the calculation of ATC using the proposed Metaheuristic Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (MEEPSO) technique. The Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is used as a FACTS device to control the reactance of power transmission line. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated, utilizing the six bus as well as 30 bus system. The acquired outcomes are contrasted with conventional ACPTDF and DCPTDF procedures. These values are determined with the assistance of MATLAB version 2017 on the Intel Core i5 framework by taking two-sided exchanges and they are contrasted and values determined with the assistance of Power World Simulator (PWS) programming.
