Grounding resistance is the basic performance indicator of grounding electrodes and the resistance has been calculated by simple equations, which is based on the assumption of uniform soil model. In this paper, tower grounding resistance is calculated assuming horizontally 2 layered soil model using finite element analysis method. A simple grouding design graph has been resulted from the calculation results.

The electric power demand is steadily high. It becomes difficult to secure the land for overhead transmission lines year after year. Downsizing of overhead transmission lines can be most effectively achieved by applying polymer insulation arm. This paper describes the outline of compact overhead transmission lines and the result of mechanical evaluation of FRP for the compact transmission towers. Bending strength of FRP was evaluated according to the fiber orientation because the fiber orientation in FRP has a great effect on the strength of FRP.

Route conditions, applied voltage and the condition of stringing conductors should be considered in determining standard types and skeleton diagrams of towers. In skeleton diagrams the necessary number of insulators and the air clearance have been decided by the results of studies on insulation coordination. Galloping, sleet-jumping, sag characteristics and the possibility of closeness of conductors should be considered according to the condition of stringing conductor and the span. After reviewing those factors, it is necessary to determine the minimum vertical and horizontal distance for the safety of transmission lines under any circumstances. Also it should be economical.

In this paper, measurement and analysis of ELF electric and magnetic fields due to a transmission line have been carried out and the power frequency field strength measuring system is designed. In order to evaluate electric and magnetic fields associated with 60 Hz electric power transmission and distribution lines, the actual survey near a transmission tower has been made and analyzed. It may be inferred from these results that the maximum electric and magnetic fields strength in the vicinity of a line tower do not exceed 3.5[kV/m] and 20[${\mu}T$]. The results of the field measurements agree with limits and guidelines recommended by various authorized international institutes.

The optimum weight design of structure is to determine the combination of structural members which minimize the weight of structures and satisfy design conditions as well. Since most of loads and design variables considered in structural design have uncertain natures, the reliability-based optimization techniques need to be developed. The aim of this study is to estabilish the general algorithm for the minimum weight design of transmission tower structure system with reliability constraints. The sequential linear programming method is used to solve non-linear minimization problems, which converts original non-linear programming problems to sequential linear programming problems. The optimal solutions are produced for various reliability levels such as reliability levels inherent in current standard transmission tower cross-section and optimal transmission tower cross-section obtained with constraints of current design criteria as well as selected target reliability index. The optimal transmission towers satisfying reliability constraints sustain consistent reliability levels on all members. Consequently, more balanced optimum designs are accomplished with less structural weight than traditional designs dealing with deterministic design criteria.

As electrical power demand is gradually increasing, the construction of power transmission facility is unavoidable. However difficulties which resulted from increasing of complaints and NYMBY make power transmission tower to be more environmentally friendly. As an alternative proposal, a new method which is changing conventional iron arm for insulation arm which is made of FRP(Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastics) is in progress. In this paper, we discussed environmentally friendly characteristic of domestic 154 kV testing transmission tower whose insulation arms have same mechanical and excellent electrical properties compare to conventional heavy iron arm.

Owing to the strike of lightning a breakage of insulator would happen. This breakage may give rise to many problems such as increment of reclosing failure, a drop for reliance and a hardship of maintenance and repair. To solve those problem, this study develop a protected equipment for insulator which is suitable to 22.9kV distribution line towers and is purposed to investigation for a proper adaption, protection efficiency of insulator and effect of adaption.

특정 지역에 대한 공간 분석을 하기 위해서는 많은 요소들을 고려해야 한다. 예를 들어 시설물을 설치한다거나 경과지역 내에서의 공간 분석이 필요할 경우, 법적 제한 요건 및 지형적 특성에 따라 공간 분석 패턴들을 다양하게 생성할 수 있기 때문이다. 이에 올바른 분석 기법의 선정이나 정확한 자료들의 수집은 필수적이라 할 수 있겠다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해당 지역 내에서의 경과지 선정 기준을 알아보고 그에 따른 저항치와 경중률을 계산하여 각각의 지형적 요소에 적용시켜 분석을 실시하였다. 그리고 분석 시에는 Corridor와 같은 GIS 공간분석기법을 이용하여 해당 지역 내의 송전 철탑 설치를 위한 최적 경과지와 최적 경로를 선정하였다.

In this paper, design method for power tower hazard diagnosis/predition system based on UsN was proposed. The proposed method used multi-hybrid sensors to measure rotation, displacement, and inclination state of power tower, and made decision/prediction of hazard of power tower. System design was made with requirement analysis of monitoring for transmission power facility and use of MEMS and optic fiber sensors. For hazard decision, analysis of correlation was made using sensor output. LN based on IEC61850,international standard for digital substation, was also proposed. For transmission facility monitoring, digital substation and power tower were considered as parts of power facility networks.

Because of the continuous growth of energy consumption and also the tendency to site power lines and pipelines along the same route, the close proximity of power lines and buried metallic pipelines has become more and more frequent. The lightning strokes collected by an electric substation or power line tower might cause arcing through the soil to an adjacent gas pipeline. This paper gives the review of the breakdown mechanism and the standards of separation distance between lower and pipelines.
