Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
The course covers
transmission line aspects that influence maintenance and investment decisions
and covers reliability measures used in the industry. The maintenance section
provides inspection and diagnostic options,
sample maintenance programing with cost and accomplishment reporting, industry practices, a method to evaluate
maintenance program
effectiveness and important condition information needed
to manage line assets/components.
The course
includes strategies for sustainment investment planning that covers
health indexing, condition based criteria, asset
replacement optimization, criticality ranking of transmission lines and methods
to improve reliability.
A component of power system
This course
will cover the concepts involved
in power transmission and distribution systems:
Components of power systems; Transmission line as a component of power system;
Line conductors; Line parameters and their calculations; Performance of transmission lines;
Traveling waves on the transmission lines, Power limits
of transmission systems, Voltage Control, Interference of power with communication lines
O.H.T.L An overhead power line is an electric power transmission line suspended by towers or utility poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are generally the lowest-cost method of transmission for large quantities of electric energy. Towers for support of the lines are made of wood (as-grown or laminated), steel (either lattice structures or tubular poles), concrete, Aluminium, and occasionally reinforced plastics.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
Gain a broad overview of electric power systems including generation, transmission, and distribution.
- Become familiar with the basic operation, behavior, and modeling of transmission lines.
- Determine conductor sag, tension, and mechanical forces on overhead structures
- Describe performance and economic factors
relevant to the specification of wood, steel,
and concrete poles
and structural components
- Determine insulation levels and select insulators,
lightning arresters, grounding, and other
- Components coordinated to provide acceptable lightning performance
