  10. BASIC DESIGN ASPECTS • Electrical Design Aspects - Power Flow / Line Loadability - Electrical Clearances (Operational, safety) - Corona & Interference - Insulation Requirements • Mechanical Design Aspects - External (Dynamic) loads due to wind, ice etc. - Self Weight of components - Temperature conditions, Climatological factors - Vibrations

  11. REVIEW OF EXISTING SYSTEM AND PRACTICES • Review of practice adopted in different countries as well as India w.r.t following - Clearances adopted for different insulation levels - Swing angles adopted and clearances thereof - Configuration & Rating of insulator string, no of discs per string - Bundle conductor configuration, diameter of conductor - Surface gradient, Electric field, AN,TVI, RIV limitations

  12. LOADABILITY OF TRANSMISSION LINES • Stability limit: Determined by system configuration. • Thermal limit: Determined by conductor size & its permissible temp. • Indian practices for max. conductor temp for ACSR: - 65deg C in 1970’s . - Increased to 75 degrees in 1980’s. • Line Loadability generally restricted by stability limit. Thermal limits are not fully exploited for longer lines. • FACTs, Series compensation etc.,improve stability limits & enable loading close to thermal limits. • Maxm. Permissible temperature limits increased to 85 deg C in general by POWERGRID and upto 95 deg C on case to case basis

  13. SELECTION OF CLEARANCES • Tower Clearance (Strike Distance) for different swing angles • Phase to Phase Spacing (Vertical, Horizontal) • Ground Clearance • Mid Span Clearance and Shielding Angle

  14. TYPICAL 400KV S/C TOWER: CLEARANCES MID SPAN CLEARANCE = 9.0 M (MIN) A B PHASE TO PHASE CLEARANCE = 8.0M (MIN) MAXM. SAG=12.87 M A= CLEARNCE AT 0 DEG SWING (FOR SWITCHING / LIGHTNIG OVERVOLTAGE) B= CLEARNCE AT MAX SWING (FOR POWER FREQ.OVERVOLTAGE) GROUND CLEARANCE = 8.84 M

  15. SELECTION OF CLEARANCES: TYPES OF OVER VOLTAGES • Power Frequency Over voltage - Line to ground faults (Typically 1.4p.u to 1.7p.u) • Switching Over voltages -Energizing or High speed Reclosings • Lightning Over voltages

  16. SELECTION OF CLEARANCES • Strike distance (Live metal clearances): Clearance requirements are to be based on two assumptions; - In still air or under very moderate winds, the clearance should be wide enough to withstand the lightning or switching impulse voltages. - Under high wind the clearance may be related to the power frequency voltage.

  17. SELECTION OF CLEARANCES(CONTD.) • Phase to Phase Clearances: Dictated by live metal clearances for standard tower configurations adopted in India • Ground Clearances: Min clearance Based on I.E rules and interference criteria (Electric field, surface gradient, AN, RIV) • Mid Span Clearance: Between earthwire and conductor: Based on voltage level, span etc.

  18. LINE INTERFERENCE • Electric field at ground • Magnetic field • Audible Noise • Radio Interference • TV Interference

  19. BUNDLE CONDUCTOR SELECTION AND OPTIMISATION • Size, Type and Configuration of Conductor influences - Tower and its geometry - Foundations - Optimum spans - Rating and configuration of Insulator string - Insulator swings - Ground clearance - Line interferences like electric field at ground, corona, radio & TV interference, audible noise etc

  20. CONDUCTOR TYPES • ACSR • AAAC • ACAR • AAC • New Technology Conductors - Trapezoidal - ACSS - INVAR - Self Damping - Vibration Resistant

  21. DESIGN OF TOWERS Transmission Line Towers are designed as per IS:802:1995 considering wind zones as per IS:875:1987 SALIENT DESIGN CONDITIONS CLIMATIC LOADS RELIABILITY REQUIREMENTS UNDER NORMAL CONDITION SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FAILURE CONTAINMENT LOADS UNDER BROKEN WIRE CONDITION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS LOADS DURING CONSTRUC- TION AND MAINTENANCE LOAD.

  22. DESIGN OF TOWERS • The reliability of transmission line towers depends on the appropriate selection of design criteria/parameters. • Climatic conditions play an important role in determining the reliability of transmission line tower. • A significant number of transmission line failures can be the result of wind speed exceeding design limits due to deficiencies in selection of design parameters/criteria.
