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 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.

Power transmission network system plays an important role in distributing power, especially in 150 kV power transmission lines. In 2013, the was a change in term of conductor type in in 150 kV transmission lines of Garuda Sakti – Balai Pungut, from ACSR to ACCC, because of the growing number of power plants in Riau and power distribution in every conductor supplying higher current, when given higher current, ACCC conductor is capable of transmitting power twice the ACSR conductor. The single line diagram of UPT Pekanbaru, data from power station (GI) Garuda Sakti – Balai Pungut, conductor data and load data are all data necessary for the study and calculation on ACCC conductor. The result shows that the amount of voltage drop power losses of ACCC conductor is 5.098 kV, while the power loss is 479,187 with the sagging value is 6.950 m, compared to the old conductor, the ACSR type, with the voltage drop of 7.517 kV, power loss of 828.863 kW, and the sagging value of 9.010 m, all measured in 150 kV power transmission lines of PT. PLN PERSERO UPT Pekanbaru.

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.

<p>Power transmission lines represent the core of the High Voltage Network since they are responsible for the transport of the electrical energy from the generation power plants to the electrical substations. In this paper, an analysis of the outages occurred to the Italian Overhead Transmission Lines (OHTLs) from 2008 to 2015 is carried out. A new simple and effective reliability index, namely the Severity Factor, is introduced with the aim to drive the prioritization of the failure causes and the enhancement of the maintenance activities. The analysis has been performed focusing on the geographical distribution of the OHTLs. For each analyzed region, the voltage levels more prone to failure have been determined. The proposed methodology, thanks to the introduction of the Severity Factor, is a useful and effective tool for the identification of the transmission network criticalities and the enhancement of the related maintenance activities. Finally, an evaluation of the reliability, availability, safety and maintainability (RAMS) of the Italian OHTL network has been performed from a regional point of view.</p>

Current measurement is a key part of the monitoring system for power transmission lines. Compared with the conventional current sensor, the distributed, self-powered and contactless current sensor has great advantages of safety and reliability. By integrating the current sensing function and the energy harvesting function of current transformer (CT), a time-multiplexed self-powered wireless sensor that can measure the power transmission line current is presented in this paper. Two operating modes of CT, including current sensing mode and energy harvesting mode, are analyzed in detail. Through the design of mode-switching circuit, harvesting circuit and measurement circuit are isolated using only one CT secondary coil, which eliminates the interference between energy harvesting and current measurement. Thus, the accurate measurement in the current sensing mode and the maximum energy collection in the energy harvesting mode are both realized, all of which simplify the online power transmission line monitoring. The designed time-multiplexed working mode allows the sensor to work at a lower transmission line current, at the expense of a lower working frequency. Finally, the proposed sensor is verified by experiments.
