With large-scale development of ultra high-transmission network, the structure of transmission line-towers system tends to the tower higher, the cross-section of transmission lines larger and span between towers longer. As the increasing of transmission lines voltage grade, transmission line-towers system has higher requirements on static and dynamic stability. It is difficult for traditional design method to meet the demands of new transmission line-towers, not to mention shorten the design cycle, improve design quality. In this paper, we establish overhead transmission line-towers system model based on parameterized finite element method, by gradually increasing the thickness of the icing, iced load, wind load, weight, mechanical properties under the action of the load and the conductor tension. The analysis results show that the model can effectively reflect the mechanical properties of the transmission towers, and improve the quality of the design, greatly shortening the design cycle.

When the overhead transmission line is galloping, a variety of natural disasters occur on the role of the natural conditions, the vibration of conductor is one of the more serious harm to the power system. Over the past decade, as the construction of EHV and UHV, wire cross-section, tension, suspension height and span of overhead transmission lines are increasing, and hence the number of conductor vibration is significantly increased. Vibration in a large scale will led to frequent tripping or even broken line or tower collapses, which cause large area power failures and impact security and stability operation. Online monitoring method for overhead transmission line dancing is mostly needed to add additional equipment, however, once situated on the route environment overlying ice or high winds and other inclement weather, online monitoring is difficult to achieve. This paper presents a method, which is made correlation analysis based on the voltage and current acquired from both ends of the transmission lines, online monitoring of line galloping can be achieved.

In recent years,transmission lines icing leads to failure and accidents,such as large area ice flashover, fittings damaged, line dancing, pole (tower) failure, lines breakage even large-scale power outage, causing serious threat to grid. Nowadays, icing monitoring system mainly relies on detecting the meteorological parameters and the changes of dynamic characteristics for early warning, but the methodologies need additional equipment for data collection. In order to ensure the security and reliability of the grid, a safe, effective and economical methodology of monitoring transmission lines icing has great significance. The project proposed a Transmission Line Icing monitoring principle and algorithm, the method based only on the voltage and current from both ends of transmission lines can be generated dynamically monitoring criterion line icing. According to the criterion maximum, line icing center area, extent and severity can be recognized. The criterion of the method is used as a mathematical scanner, swept from one end of the line to the other end, comprehensive judgments are made on the basis of comprehensive criteria for integrated maximum value, thus the method has a high diagnostic accuracy and reliability. The methodology proposed in this paper is different from the current monitoring methodology; additional hardware devices are not required, and the methodology is simple and practical, has strong operability and enormous economic benefits, adapting to the requirements of the development of the smart grid.

Abstract Numerous forms of dampers are used to eliminate the vibrations in transmission lines. In the contemporaneous editorial, a survey has been done on vibrations monitoring and anti-vibration of overhead transmission line of transmission lines having multiple dampers for dissimilar cable sizes. To investigate the outcome of the position of dampers on extreme strains created in the line. A comprehensive survey of the extreme strains created is also made for several wind power input conventions. A finite element technique is used to measure the frequency and manner figures of the cable with and without a damper. The response of the bare conductor, loaded conductor, the conductor for various dampers’ location is also studied. Spoilers and torsional dampers are maximum actual in diminishing electrode galloping, while dampers are quite the utmost effectual plans for aeolian shakings and spiral dampers are admirable for identical lesser width of electrodes.

The modeling and calculation of a single phase-to-earth fault of 6 to 35 kV have specific features when compared with circuits with higher nominal voltages. In this paper, a mathematical analysis and modeling of a 3-phase overhead transmission line with distributed parameters consisting of several nominal T-shaped, 3-phase links with concentrated parameters replaced by 1 nominal T-shaped link were carried out. Further analysis showed that not accounting for the distributed nature of the line parameters did not cause significant errors in the assessment of the maximum overvoltage in the arc suppression in single phase-to-earth faults, and that sufficient accuracy insures the representation of the line by only 1 nominal T-shaped, 3-phase link. Such a modeling technique makes it impossible to identify the location of single-phase faults, which is the property of higher harmonic amplification of individual frequencies. Chain equivalent schemas with constant parameters are valid for a single frequency, thereby providing an opportunity to study the nature of the wave process by the discrete selection of parameters. Next in the mathematical representation, we consider the overhead transmission lines as lines with distributed parameters.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a computational approach in order to help establish the effect of various self-piercing rivet (SPR) process and material parameters on the quality and the mechanical performance of the resulting SPR joints. Design/methodology/approach – Toward that end, a sequence of three distinct computational analyses is developed. These analyses include: (a) finite-element modeling and simulations of the SPR process; (b) determination of the mechanical properties of the resulting SPR joints through the use of three-dimensional, continuum finite-element-based numerical simulations of various mechanical tests performed on the SPR joints; and (c) determination, parameterization and validation of the constitutive relations for the simplified SPR connectors, using the results obtained in (b) and the available experimental results. The availability of such connectors is mandatory in large-scale computational analyses of whole-vehicle crash or even in simulations of vehicle component manufacturing, e.g. car-body electro-coat paint-baking process. In such simulations, explicit three-dimensional representation of all SPR joints is associated with a prohibitive computational cost. Findings – It is found that the approach developed in the present work can be used, within an engineering optimization procedure, to adjust the SPR process and material parameters (design variables) in order to obtain a desired combination of the SPR-joint mechanical properties (objective function). Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, the present work is the first public-domain report of the comprehensive modeling and simulations including: self-piercing process; virtual mechanical testing of the SPR joints; and derivation of the constitutive relations for the SPR connector elements.

High voltage overhead transmission line is an important part of the power system to ensure the safe operation of the entire power system, which is of great significance. Power line fault not only has adverse effects to the social economy, and it may also affect the stability of the power system. Transmission line faults including permanent fault and transient fault are identified quickly and accurately, which has important practical engineering significance. This paper presents a method which can be used to identify the permanent fault and transient fault of double-circuit transmission line on the same tower, fault transient voltages and currents extracted from both ends of transmission lines are as a signal source which is decomposed into a series of harmonics in order to establish a criterion function, and then the transient and permanent fault can be identified based on the changes of criterion function value.
