Motivation for measurements
• Relay testing
• Transient based fault location
• Insulation coordination
• Power line carrier

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.

Frequency dependence by Carson and ad-hoc grounding model

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.

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
