Transmission line model with fixed parameters

15

Frequency dependent parameters

• Fixed parameters works well with metallic return, but fails when ground is used as the current’s return path.

• Carson (1926) used Maxwell’s equation to make a line model where the effect of ground losses and current distribution are embedded in frequency dependent line parameters R and L.

Model with Carson’s frequency dependent parameters

Frequency dependence by Carson and ad-hoc grounding model

18

Discussion

• Model with lumped inductance and resistance is only valid at

• Transmission line model with fixed parameters is insufficient. Results in poor model and inefficient simulation

• Carson’s model is reasonable up to 100 kHz.

Relevance for typical transmission line?

Height=15 m, area=500mm2, length=300 km, R_flt=5 ohm

Conclusion

• Theory and measurements are needed to verify and develop models.

• Measurement shows un-modeled dynamics.

• Further work– High frequency modeling of line– Include dynamics of connection between

line and ground, e.g, ground rod or fault– Bounded line length
