The article studies the matters of physics of interaction of parallel overhead power transmission lines. Cases are presented, where the maximum induced voltage values are expected on individual sections of closely approaching de-energized and energized power transmission lines. Possible scenarios are presented of direct contact with an unearthed conductor (wire) of OPL in the normal operation mode. Substantiation is presented of review of the list of the lines, which, when de-energized or earthed at terminal sections (in the switchgear of substations and power plants) have the values of induced voltage on the earthed conductors, as reduced to the maximum permissible continuous current of the affecting OPL, exceeding 25 V . Criteria are identified to classify OPL as being affected by induced voltage. The article considers organizational and technical procedures applied to provide safe maintenance works under induced voltage on de-energized overhead power lines (OPL) located within an area affected by energized OPL.  Attention is given to the detailed description of types of earthing of OPL, line equipment, working section and workplaces used by State Production Association Belenergo. The mathematical apparatus used in the analytical calculations of the induced voltage values has been analyzed. The technical implementation of acceptable schemes of performing the repair and maintenance works on the earthing of de-energized OPL is considered. Performing geophysical ground survey by the method of vertical electrical sounding at places of mounting special low-resistance earthing electrodes is proposed and implemented. The methodology is developed and tested for measuring induced voltage values, which sets the order of induced voltage measurements on de-energized OPL running close to energized OPL with the voltage 110 kV, and higher. Comparative analysis is presented of results of analytical calculations and experimental research. Conclusions are made supporting the approach adopted and confirming the expediency of the system of ensuring electrical safety of maintenance works performed on 35–750 kV power transmission lines being under induced voltage implemented in the Republic of Belarus.

The work analyzes the effect of low temperatures and other climatic factors on the accident rate and reliability of energy facilities. To represent the causes and analyze the consequences in emergency situations at power plants, descriptions of accidents that occurred in the Sakha Republic were collected and considered. For the analysis, examples are chosen that contain more complete descriptions of the various interrelated causes and consequences of accidents. It was revealed that the greatest number of accidents occurs in the period of low temperatures. High accidents in the summer months are also associated with the climatic features of the republic, mainly with accidents in the power supply system: seasonal melting of permafrost, floods, wildfires and in connection with this drop in power transmission lines, overruns and wire breaks due to storm wind and other.

Illumination Changes

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 Stability

Vietnam\'s electricity system has been increasingly invested in development, meeting the growth rate of energy consumption demand in all socio-economic aspects. In particular, the energization and commission of solar and wind power plants greatly affect the stability and safety of the Vietnam power system. To improve the system\'s stability when incidents occur, one of the current solutions is to coordinate relay calibration settings which have a rapid reaction time at all voltage levels. To meet the above requirements, an option is to use Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) with fast processing speed, reduced latency, and multiple functions with intelligent algorithms. In addition, the solution to coordinate the protection areas between IEDs is being concerned. This paper presents the coordination of Permissive Over-Reaching Transfer Trip (POTT) interlock function of SEL 311L relay for power transmission lines to reduce the fault clearing time compared to the traditional calculation method.

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)

One of the major threats to the safe and normal operation of the power transmission lines is the external force or intrusion incurred by construction trucks. Especially for the urban area, construction of truck cranes is increasingly becoming a leading cause to the damages of power transmission lines. However, the conventional monitoring method for protecting power transmission lines is to conduct a routine inspection or patrol on the transmission line network periodically, which is time-consuming and laborious. In this paper we propose a video surveillance system for automatic tracking the dangerous strength such as construction cranes. The criterion of context formation aims to detect the jib of crane and compute its extension angle. Once the crane is parked over a certain period of time, or the jib extension angle exceeds predefined thresholds, warning messages will be sent to power line supervisors. The experiments show that the system is able to achieve automatic detection of truck cranes and protect transmission lines from their careless constructions.

Automatic sectionalizing and redundancy of power transmission lines is one of the conditions for network intellectualization and can significantly reduce the power supply interruption time for rural consumers. However, both sectionalizing and redundancy of power transmission lines in 0.4 kV electric networks are used extremely limitedly since there are no sufficiently effective methods and technical means for their implementation. This article presents a method to automatically deactivate the automatic load transfer switch when restoring the normal network operation mode. The paper considers the implementation of the method on the example of damage occurring in the network where power is supplied to consumers from two power sources using an automatic load transfer switch and two sectionalizing units. A device is developed which allows implementing the developed method of automatic load transfer switch deactivation. The device consists of sectionalizing unit, automatic load transfer switch, voltage presence sensor, power direction sensor, memory element, repeater element, element AND and 3 elements NOT. The work of the device is described. The proposed method for automatically disconnecting the automatic load transfer switch in order to return the consumers’ power supply circuit to its initial state solves the problem of eliminating unreasonable power supply interruptions for consumers.
