Design and Analysis of Electrical Power Transmission System

Introduction to bulk power system: The Grid; interconnections and management; reliable delivery of electrical power. Short, medium, and long transmission lines with distributed parameters. Operational considerations: load flow control and power management; factors affecting reliability-parallel and loop flow; power flow analysis on multi-bus systems; voltage regulation and reactive power compensation. Design considerations: structure and components of the transmission systems; tower height and minimum clearance requirements for overhead power transmission lines; sag in overhead conductors and factor affecting the sag; sag-tension calculations. Overhead conductors: types and applications. Safety considerations: line faults; aeolian vibrations and galloping; travelling waves and reflection. Corona and noise. Case studies.
