Ieee C62.22

This document discusses projects related to studying longitudinal loads and containment on transmission lines. It summarizes the methodology, models, and status of Project 4, which aims to develop a better understanding of dynamic loading on lines to inform cascading failure guidelines. The project involves numerical modeling, prototype design specification, and potential full-scale testing. Challenges include damping modeling and review findings that initial modeling had major problems. Mitigation strategies discussed include designing for longitudinal loads, using anti-cascade towers, and release mechanisms. The next steps proposed are evaluating the state of art, avoiding duplication, learning from other studies, and focusing future research.

Wind & Ice
Line Failures Due to Cascade
Failure related load requirements such as the broken wire
load (BWL) have been used successfully to ensure the
satisfactory performance of structures and to mitigate the
effects of severe differential wire tensions. Based on past
experience (EPRI 1997; EPRJ 1998), the breakage of
conductors and ground wires is a frequently occurring
problem that has caused the cascading failure of more than
2500 structures in the last 20 years.
1966 - Denmark ( 167 Towers Collapsed )
1975 - Wisconsin ( 289 Towers Collapsed )

PROJECT 4 WAS BROKEN DOWN IN VARIOUS
PHASES
STATE OF THE ART STUDY ON LRD –
COMPLETED IN 2002
NUMERICAL MODELLING-ON GOING
PROTOTYPE DESIGN SPECIFICATION
TESTING
FULL SCALE TEST ON A LINE – IF NECESSARY
Status
WHERE WE ARE ON PROJECT 4 STATUS?
NUMERICAL MODEL – PRELIMINARY TEST
WITH ADINA STARTED EARLY 2003
DRAFT REPORT COMPLETED LATE SUMMER
REVIEW INDICATED MAJOR PROBLEMS
WITH THE INITIAL MODELLING –
SUGGESTION WAS MADE TO CORRECT THIS
STILL PROBLEM WITH DAMPING MODELLING
Mitigation – Containment
Philosophy
1. DEVELOPMENT OF A PROPER CASCADING
GUIDELINE REQUIRES THE KNOWLEDGE
AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMIC
LOADING ON A LINE
2. IT WAS ORIGINALLY ENVISAGED THAT
PROJECT 4 WILL PROVIDE THIS WHEN
COMPLETED
Mitigation – Containment
Philosophy
Design for Longitudinal Load
 RSL-Static Component
 Dynamic (Peak Load) - Extent of Damage
Anti-Cascade Tower
Increased Strength of Suspension Tower
Re-conductoring Option
Release Mechanism
 Slip-Clamp
 LCD/LRD ( Project 4)
