Description of module content:

In this module, you will be introduced with the principals of transmission line parameters (Resistance, inductance and capacitance) calculations for different conductor configurations. Then, these parameters will be used to model and analyse the performance of transmission lines with different lengths (short, medium and long). You will also learn the application of generalised network equations in modelling a transmission line. The module also contains a research exercise where you must explore new developments within the area of transmission and networks. Finally, the following concepts to analyse the performance of a transmission line will be introduced:• Travelling Wave Propagation• Tuned Transmission Lines• Characteristic Impedance• Surge Impedance Loading (SIL)• Ferranti Effect• Charging Current in Lines• Line Load-ability• Power Flow Through a Transmission Line
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Analyse and determine transmission line parameters.

LO2: Model transmission lines using Generalised Network equation.

LO3: Assess the performance of short and medium transmission (Uniform) lines.

LO4: Understand and apply different methods to analyse long transmission (non-uniform) lines.

LO5: Investigate current and future developments relevant to transmission and network technologies
