Complete coverage of power line design and implementation
Electrical Design of Overhead Power Transmission Lines discusses everything electrical engineering students and practicing engineers need to know to effectively design overhead power lines. Cowritten by experts in power engineering, this detailed guide addresses component selection and design, current IEEE standards, load-flow analysis, power system stability, statistical risk management of weather-related overhead line failures, insulation, thermal rating, and other essential topics. Clear learning objectives and worked examples that apply theoretical results to real-world problems are included in this practical resource.
Electrical Design of Overhead Power Transmission Lines covers:
AC circuits and sequence circuits of power networks
Matrix methods in AC power system analysis
Overhead transmission line parameters
Modeling of transmission lines
AC power-flow analysis using iterative methods
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults
Control of voltage and power flow
Stability in AC networks
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission
Corona and electric field effects of transmission lines
Lightning performance of transmission lines
Coordination of transmission line insulation
Ampacity of overhead line conductors
