One of main causes of interruption of electrical power supply is the lightning strike on overhead power transmission lines. The lightning performance of transmission line can be determined by value of shielding failure flashover rate (SFFOR) and back flashover rate (BFOR). The object of this study is to create a computer application to compute lightning performance on the transmission lines using Python programming. Pythons package tkinter used for program interface window. Application programming is done by using the concept of object-oriented programming (OOP) using Pythons keyword class. Validation shows that the application has applied the method correctly with a percentage error 0 % for SFFOR and 3.14 % for BFOR. The application can do analysis on the factors that affecting SFFOR and BFOR such as the effect of thunder day, tower foot resistance, and number of isolator disk. The results obtained in this study is computer application that can perform lightning performance analysis and analysis of factors that can affect it, such as thunder day, tower foot resistance and the number of isolator disk.

The length of overhead power transmission lines in the Russian Federation is over 2.8 million kilometers. Power grids are rapidly becoming obsolete. The level of deterioration of the equipment achieves 70% [1]. This leads to breakdowns on overhead power transmission lines and reduce the quality of electricity supply. One of the focus areas towards improving the situation is a deep modernization of the power grid with an orientation on energy efficiency. The purpose of this work is the creation a system for operative monitoring of the technical condition of high-voltage power-transmission lines based on modular devices. The modular device is configured depending on the issues at hand: control of ice formation; control of ice melting; localization of the place of short circuit, breakage, lightning strike; determination of electrical loads on the wire or control of the load of overhead power transmission lines; determination of mechanical loads at the wire suspension point; determination of conditions for the occurrence of ice formation, determination of defects in insulators. This will equip the overhead line diagnostic systems without serious financial costs by simple installation on the wire of the developed device which design allows to change the configuration of the equipment and solve a wide range of tasks.


Electrical power generated and transmitted at a long distance away from the power stations is usually affected by inherent transmission line losses. The Ohmic and Corona losses which are predominantly common in power transmission lines are considered in this paper. These two losses are mathematically modeled with and without embedded bundled conductors. The resultant model which is a non-linear multivariable unconstrained optimized equation is minimized using the Hessian matrix determinant method for stability test purposes. The results obtained show that corona losses are minimized with embedded bundled conductors at a very low current value with large spacing distance between the bundled conductors. The decrease in the corona loss which is a consequence of spacing adjustment of the 2, 3, and 4 strands of bundled conductors was plotted using MATLAB 7.14. The plots obtained are in conformity with the inverse relation between corona loss and conductor spacing.

Background: Predicting water table depth in Electrical Power Transmission Lines area presents great importance and helps the decision makers do the safety analysis during the project. The present study predicts the water table depth with observed weather data and hydrologic data. Method: The study first compared the results of LSTM, GRU, LSTM-S2S, and FFNN models in daily data simulation. Moreover, two scenarios (S1 and S2) were set to identify the effect of the water component on water table depth simulation. In addition, in order to analyze how data time scale influences the model simulation results, the monthly scale data was simulated by LSTM, GRU, and LSTM-S2S models. Result: The result indicated that LSTM-S2S was the best model for predicting daily water table depth among the four models. By contrast, FFNN performed the worst. LSTM and GRU model performed equally well both in daily data and monthly data simulation. S1 performed better than S2 in the water table depth simulation. The average daily performance of R2 and NSE was both higher than that in the monthly results with LSTM, GRU, and LSTM-S2S models. Conclusion: As a result, the method in the present study can be used to simulate the water table depth in the future in Electrical Power Transmission Lines area.

Owing to tremendous growth in requirement of electrical power in the country, technological advancement in transmission systems is essential for transmission of bulk amount of power over long distances. Deciding value of corridor width for transmission lines are greatly influenced by magnitudes of electric and magnetic fields along its length. The precise evaluation of the electromagnetic fields and effects of corona like Radio Interference and Audible Noise generated by overhead transmission lines are thus of greater interest. This paper presents implementation of a novel GUI based technique to compute the fields generated by power transmission lines using three dimensional techniques. Actual case of Ultra High Voltage AC (UHVAC) line is considered for study. Transmission lines are analyzed by using newly developed software that facilitates computation and plotting of electromagnetic fields and corona effects in 3D coordinates. MATLAB is used as platform for development of GUI based software to analyze the fields along the entire length of transmission lines under study. It uses concept of charge simulation method (CSM) along with most fundamental Maxwell’s potential coefficient theory and 3D integration techniques.
