Wind and Ice Loading
Wind pressure in lbs/ft^2 is calculated using
Pw = 0.00256*(Vw)^2Vw = Wind speed in miles per hour
Wind load per unit length is equal to the wind pressure multiplied by the conductor diameter.
Using the same units, Fw comes out in lbs/ftLI = Pw * (Dc + 2t)/12Dc = conductor diameter (inches)t = ice thickness (inches)
Suggestion: Reference:1. Wadhwa C. L., "Electrical Power Systems," Second Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1991Reference 1 Chapter 7 Mechanical Design of Transmission Lines includes a good treatment of sag, including wind, ice, conductor bundles.

Transmission Line Insulators
Disc-Type InsulatorsCan be connected together in strings to accommodate the requirements of any transmission voltage. They are usually bell shaped, and have mechanisms on the top and bottom for connecting.
Pin-Type InsulatorsAre generally designed for use on lower range of transmission voltages. They are mounted on poles or cross arms using an insulator pin, made up of metal or wood. Pin insulators are always designed to support a conductor upright or vertical on top.
1.To support conductors and attach them to structures2.To electrically isolate conductors from other components on a transmission line
The second purpose is very important to operation since without some form of insulating material, electrical circuit cannot operate.
To be able to isolate conductors, insulators must be made of materials that offer a great deal of resistance to the flow of electricity. Porcelain is one of the most highly used insulator type along with glass and other synthetic materials.
Mehran University of Engineering & Technology© 2016 Department of Electrical Engineering 15EL
Transmission Line Insulators
Shackle-Type InsulatorsThese are mostly applied to support line strain (tension), such as at changes of transmission line direction
Strain-Type InsulatorsA stain insulator is an insulator generally of elongated shape, with two transverse holes or slots. It is mainly used on the guy wire structure to balance the tension strength and also provide the insulating.

INSULATING MATERIALS FOR CABLES
• RubberIt can be obtained from milky sap of tropical trees or from oil products.It has the dielectric strength of 30 KV/mm.Insulation resistivity of 10 exp 17 ohm.cmRelative permittivity varying between 2 and 3.They readily absorbs moisture, soft and liable to damage due to rough
handling and ages when exposed to light.Maximum safe temperature is very low about 38 C
• Vulcanized India RubberIt can be obtained from mixing pure rubber with mineral compounds i-e zinc
oxide, red lead and sulphur and heated upto 150 C.It has greater mechanical strength, durability and wear resistant property.The sulphur reacts quickly with copper so tinned copper conductors are used.It is suitable for low and moderate voltage cables.
Mehran University of Engineering & Technology© 2016 Department of Electrical Engineering 15EL© ng
• Impregnated Paper This material has superseded the rubber, consists of chemically pulped
paper impregnated with napthenic and paraffinic materials. It has low cost, low capacitance, high dielectric strength and high
insulation resistance. The only disadvantage is the paper is hygroscopic, for this reason paper
insulation is always provided protective covering.
• Varnished Cambric This is simply the cotton cloth impregnated and coated with varnish. As the varnish cambric is also hygroscopic so need some protection. Its dielectric strength is about 4KV / mm and permittivity is 2.5 to 3.8.
• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) This material has good dielectric strength, high insulation resistance and
high melting temperatures. These have not so good mechanical properties as those of rubber. It is inert to oxygen and almost inert to many alkalis and acids.

2. Screened Cables
• These can be used up to 33kv but in certain cases can be extended up to 66kv
• These are mainly of two types H-type and S.L type cables a. H-TYPE Cables: • Designed by H. Hochstadter. • Each core is insulated by layer of impregnated paper. • The insulation on each core is covered with a metallic screen which is
usually of perforated aluminum foil.• The cores are laid in such a way that metallic screen make contact with one
another.• Basic advantage of H-TYPE is that the perforation in the metallic screen
assists in the complete impregnation of the cable with the compound and thus the possibility of air pockets or voids in the dielectric is eliminated.
• The metallic screen increase the heat dissipation power of the cable.
UNDERGROUND CABLES
Mehran University of Engineering & Technology© 2016 Department of Electrical Engineering 15EL
b. S.L - Type: (Separate Lead)
• Each core insulation is covered by its own lead sheath.• It has two main advantages, firstly the separate sheath minimize the
possibility of core-to-core breakdown. Secondly the, bending of cables become easy due to the elimination of over all sheath.
• The disadvantage is that the lead sheaths of S.L is much thinner as compared to H-Type cables, therefore for greater care is required in manufacturing.

Types of substations: Transmission Terminal Transformer Distribution Unit CollectorMain functions of substations:Transfer of power in a controlled manner as well as to make it possible to perform the necessary switching operations in the grid (energizing and de-energizing of equipment and lines) and provide the necessary monitoring, protection and control of circuits under its control and supervision.
A substation is a high-voltage electric system facility. It is used to switch generators, equipment, and circuits or lines in and out of a system. It is also used to change AC voltages from one level to another, and/or change alternating current to direct current or direct current to alternating current. Some substations are small with little more than a transformer and associated switches. Others are very large with several transformers and dozens of switches and other equipment.

SUBSTATIONS
Transmission substations:Connects two or more transmission lines. The simplest case is where all transmission lines have the same voltage. In such cases, the substation contains high-voltage switches (and or circuit breakers) that allow lines to be connected or isolated for fault clearance or maintenance. A transmission station may have transformers to convert between two transmission voltages, voltage control devices such as capacitors, reactors or Static VARs and equipment such as phase shifting transformers to control power flow between two adjacent power systems.
Terminal substations:A facility that forms a strategic node point in an interconnected electricity transmission system. A terminal substation fulfills either or both roles:1)Provides a connection point where transmission lines of the same voltage may be joined to enable an electricity supply to be established to a new demand center. It is a bulk supply point in the electrical grid, where it may serve a significant area within metropolitan area and/or some country areas.
1)It is a transformation point where lower voltages are produced to supply the metropolitan transmission system.

SUBSTATIONS
Transformer substations:A transformer substation is a point where the transmission voltage level is stepped down to the sub-transmission voltage level. The latter voltage is then either used to feed a distribution substation to further reduce the voltage level to the distribution level or itself used as an input to distribution transformers (e.g., 33 kV/ 440 V or 230 V) i.e. power is tapped from the sub-transmission line for use in an industrial facility along the way, otherwise, the power goes to a distribution substation. Thus the major components in such a station will be: one or two high voltage disconnect switches, one or two power transformers, one or two medium voltage switchgear lineups with their breakers, instrument transformers, relays, communication and control networks.
Distribution Substation:Distribution substations are located near to the end-users. Distribution substation transformers change the transmission or sub-transmission voltage to lower levels. From here the power is distributed to industrial, commercial, and residential customers through distribution transformers, pad mounted, overhead pole mounted, vault installed, the secondary of which is 440 V or 230 V.

SUBSTATIONS
Unit substations:A unit substation would typically consist of a load break switch with a set of power or current limiting fuses, in series with it ,connected to the high voltage winding of a distribution (or a power transformer), the low voltage winding of thetransformer would be connected to the main circuit breaker plus the feeder circuit breakers, motor contactors plus disconnect switch and fuses, or load break switches in the switchgear lineup. Within the lineup, there would be the utility metering compartment with the current and voltage transformers approved for utility meter application as well as the user instrument transformers, meters, protection and control.
Collector substation:In distributed generation projects such as a wind farm, a collector substation may be required. It somewhat resembles a distribution substation although power flow is in the opposite direction, from many wind turbines up into the transmission grid. Usually for economy of construction the collector system operates around and the collector substation steps up voltage to a transmission voltage for the grid.

Parallel Connected Power Systems
The process of putting the output of a power plant back on-line, when the system is down during power outages, can be a long and difficult procedure.
The major problem of parallel-connected distribution systems occurs when excessive load demands are encountered by several power systems in a single region. If all are operating near their peak power-output capacity, there is no back-up capability.
The equipment-protection system for each power plant, and also for each alternator in the power plant, is designed to disconnect it from the system when its maximum power limits are reached.
When the power demand on one part of the distribution system becomes excessive, the protective equipment will disconnect that part of the system. This places an even greater load on the remaining parts of the system. The excessive load now could cause other parts of the system to disconnect. This cycle continues until theentire system is inoperative. No electrical power can be supplied to any part of the system until most of the power plants are put back in operation.

HVDC
Power transmission and distribution systems are used to interconnectelectrical power production systems and to provide a means of deliveringelectrical power from the generating station to its point of utilization.
These interconnections of power production systems are monitored and controlled, in most cases, by a computerized control center. Such control centers provide a means of data collection and recording, system monitoring, frequency control, and signaling. Computers have become an important means of assuring the efficient operation of electrical power systems. The transmission of electrical power requires many long, interconnectedpower lines, to carry the electrical current from where it is producedto where it is used.

HVDC
An alternative to transmitting AC voltages for long distances is high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission. HVDC is suitable for long-distance overhead power lines, or for underground power lines.
Because of its fewer power losses, DC power lines are capable of delivering more power per conductor than equivalent AC power lines
HVDC is even more desirable for underground distribution. The primary disadvantage of HVDC is the cost of the necessary AC-to-DC conversion equipment.
HVDC systems have been designed for transmitting voltages in the range of 600 kV. The key to the future development of HVDC systems may be the production of solid state power conversion systems with higher voltage and current rating.
With a continued developmental effort, HVDC play a more significant role in future electrical power transmission systems.
