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.
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:

On 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
