Radial thermoelectric model for stranded transmission line conductors
Bare-stranded conductors play a critical role in the efficiency and safe operation of transmission lines. The heat generated in the interior of the conductor is conducted radially to the outer surface, creating a radial thermal gradient. The radial temperature gradient between the core and the surfa...

| Sumario: | Bare-stranded conductors play a critical role in the efficiency and safe operation of transmission lines. The heat generated in the interior of the conductor is conducted radially to the outer surface, creating a radial thermal gradient. The radial temperature gradient between the core and the surface depends on multiple factors, such as stranding, number of layers, current level, electrical resistance and the effective radial thermal conductivity. Therefore, the radial temperature model must be considered when developing accurate conductor models. Such models are particularly important in the development of dynamic line rating (DLR) approaches to allow the full current carrying capacity of the conductor to be utilized while ensuring safe operation. This paper develops a radial one-dimensional thermoelectric model for bare-stranded conductors used in transmission lines. The accuracy of the proposed model is determined by experimental tests performed on three conductors. |
