The global demand for electric power has been greatly increasing because of industrial development and the change in people’s daily life. A lot of overhead transmission lines have been installed to provide reliable power across long distancess. Therefore, research on overhead transmission lines inspection is very important for preventing sudden wide-area outages. In this paper, we propose an Overhead Transmission Line Classifier (OTL-Classifier) based on deep learning techniques to classify images returned by future unmanned maintenance drones or robots. In the proposed model, a binary classifier based on Inception architecture is incorporated with an auxiliary marker algorithm based on ResNet and Faster-RCNN(Faster Regions with Convolutional Neural Networks features). The binary classifier defines images with foreign objects such as balloons and kites as abnormal class, regardless the type, size, and number of the foreign objects in a single image. The auxiliary marker algorithm marks foreign objects in abnormal images, in order to provide additional help for quick location of hidden foreign objects. Our OTL-Classifier model achieves a recall rate of 95% and an error rate of 10.7% in the normal mode, and a recall rate of 100% and an error rate of 35.9% in the Warning–Review mode.

Lighting is one of the important reasons of transmission line trip accident. For 330kV and above ultra high voltage transmission line, lighting flashover more frequently occur. To reduce tripping rate effectively and fundamentally, lightning over voltage level should be analyzed besides anti-pollution flashover. In this paper, a simplified equivalent circuit model of a 330kV overhead transmission lines is established. The lightning over voltage of the transmission is analyzed and calculated. Method to reduce the lightning overvoltage is discussed.

The reliability characteristics of the (auto)transformers and overhead transmission lines of the unified national electric grid are subjected to statistical analysis. It is shown that their scheduled outages for scheduled or unscheduled repairs, as well as maintenance, weaken the network layout much more than emergency repairs. At the same time, there was a noticeable deterioration in the (auto)transformers and overhead transmission line reliability indexes over the last 30 years, which requires the development and adoption of appropriate organizational and technical solutions.

It is important to choose suitable insulator strings that matching the voltage level when trying to change an AC transmission line into a DC one. Historically based, most published works discuss the way of determining the number or the length of insulators for overhead transmission lines, which mainly consider about voltage levels, pollution classes, insulator types and their pollution performances. It calls for too much work for a line restructuring project. In order to simplify the work, a comparison of the choosing of insulator strings between AC and DC overhead transmission line is made in this paper. Two main results are obtained. One is that the ratio, which defined as α, of the number of insulator on DC transmission line and that on AC transmission line ranges from 1 to 2.5 with the decreasing of voltage level under the same pollution class, the other is that the value α remains substantially constant under the same voltage level, and it will decrease slightly as the pollution class increases. The results provide theoretical basis for the choosing of insulator strings in line restructuring projects.

The modeling and calculation of a single phase-to-earth fault of 6 to 35 kV have specific features when compared with circuits with higher nominal voltages. In this paper, a mathematical analysis and modeling of a 3-phase overhead transmission line with distributed parameters consisting of several nominal T-shaped, 3-phase links with concentrated parameters replaced by 1 nominal T-shaped link were carried out. Further analysis showed that not accounting for the distributed nature of the line parameters did not cause significant errors in the assessment of the maximum overvoltage in the arc suppression in single phase-to-earth faults, and that sufficient accuracy insures the representation of the line by only 1 nominal T-shaped, 3-phase link. Such a modeling technique makes it impossible to identify the location of single-phase faults, which is the property of higher harmonic amplification of individual frequencies. Chain equivalent schemas with constant parameters are valid for a single frequency, thereby providing an opportunity to study the nature of the wave process by the discrete selection of parameters. Next in the mathematical representation, we consider the overhead transmission lines as lines with distributed parameters.

The overload degree of a transmission line is represented by currents in traditional overload protection, which cannot reflect its safety condition accurately. The sudden rise in transmission line current may lead to cascading tripping under traditional protection during power flow transfer in a power system. Therefore, timely and accurate analysis of the transient temperature rise of overhead transmission lines, revealing their overload endurance capability under the premise of ensuring safety, and coordination with power system controls can effectively eliminate overloading. This paper presents a transient temperature calculation method for overhead transmission lines based on an equivalent thermal network. This method can fully consider the temperature-dependent characteristics with material properties, convective heat resistance, and radiation heat and can accurately calculate the gradient distribution and response of the conductor cross-section temperature. The validity and accuracy of the proposed calculation method are verified by a test platform. In addition, a multi-parameter thermal protection strategy is proposed on the basis of the abovementioned calculation method. The protection can adequately explore the maximum overload capability of the line, and prevent from unnecessary tripping to avoid the expansion of accidents. Finally, the validity of the proposed protection is verified by the modified 29-bus system.

When the overhead transmission line is galloping, a variety of natural disasters occur on the role of the natural conditions, the vibration of conductor is one of the more serious harm to the power system. Over the past decade, as the construction of EHV and UHV, wire cross-section, tension, suspension height and span of overhead transmission lines are increasing, and hence the number of conductor vibration is significantly increased. Vibration in a large scale will led to frequent tripping or even broken line or tower collapses, which cause large area power failures and impact security and stability operation. Online monitoring method for overhead transmission line dancing is mostly needed to add additional equipment, however, once situated on the route environment overlying ice or high winds and other inclement weather, online monitoring is difficult to achieve. This paper presents a method, which is made correlation analysis based on the voltage and current acquired from both ends of the transmission lines, online monitoring of line galloping can be achieved.
