Computer-Aided Design of H.V. Transmission Line

Abstract

Those who are engaged in design, or design modification and subsequently in fabrication of high voltage transmission lines face difficult)' as there is no properly constructed computer programme for the task. In this paper, the principle of design of HV transmission lines has been vividly discussed and algorithm developed for computer-aided design. The programme includes both electrical and mechanical design and effects like corona losses. Steps for analysis of the transmission line before it is erected have also been given. Two case studies have been made, one on medium and another on long transmission line with this programme and have been given at the end of this paper.
