This book includes my lecture notes for electrical power transmission course. The power transmission process, from generation to distribution is described and expressions for resistance, inductance and capacitance of high-voltage power transmission lines are developed used to determine the equivalent circuit of a three-phase transmission line.

The book is divided to different learning outcomes

Part 1- Describe the power transmission process, from generation to distribution.

Part 2- Develop expressions for resistance, inductance and capacitance of high-voltage power transmission lines and determine the equivalent circuit of a three-phase transmission line.

Part 1: Describe the power transmission process, from generation to distribution.

• Identify types of power lines, standard voltages, and components of high-voltage transmission lines (HVTL).

• Describe the construction of a transmission line, galloping lines, corona effect, insulator pollution, and lightning strikes.

• Explain transmission system stability in regards to power transfer, power flow division, and transfer impedance.

Part 2: Develop expressions for resistance, inductance and capacitance of high-voltage power transmission lines and determine the equivalent circuit of a three-phase transmission line.

• List the types of conductors used in power transmission line.

• Develop the expression for the inductance and capacitance of a simple, single-phase, two wire transmission line composed of solid round conductors.

• Deduce the expression for the inductance and capacitance of a simple, single-phase composite (stranded) conductor line.

• Derive the expression for the inductance and capacitance of three-phase lines having symmetrically and asymmetrically spacing and for bundled conductors.
