This course provides a comprehensive understanding of transmission line route surveying, Right-of-Way (RoW) planning, tower manufacturing, and overhead insulator design for HV systems. It covers conventional and modern surveying methods such as GPS, LiDAR, and drone-based techniques, along with fabrication, galvanization, and quality assurance in tower manufacturing. Learners will analyze insulator performance, potential distribution, string efficiency, creepage distance, and environmental impacts, along with inspection, protection, and reliability practices through real-world case studies. Learning Objectives: Understand route selection and RoW planning; apply digital surveying techniques; classify towers and manufacturing processes; analyze insulator performance; design insulator strings for EHVAC/HVDC systems; evaluate testing, protection, and reliability aspects. Target Learners / Audience: Suitable for undergraduate/postgraduate electrical engineering students, researchers, academicians, and industry professionals seeking practical expertise in transmission line surveying, tower manufacturing, and insulation systems.

Syllabus

Route Survey, Right of Way Crossing and Transmission Tower Manufacturing

Let’s begin this module by understanding the processes involved in transmission line route selection, surveying techniques, Right-of-Way (RoW) management, transmission tower manufacturing, quality assurance, patrolling protocols, and inspection methods. The module also introduces modern digital surveying practices such as GPS, LIDAR, and drone-based surveying used in contemporary transmission line projects.

Design of Overhead Insulators

Let’s begin this module by understanding the evolution, classification, design, manufacturing, testing, and performance evaluation of overhead line insulators used in modern transmission systems. The module also covers string efficiency analysis, creepage distance calculations, pollution performance, protection devices, and environmental impacts affecting insulator reliability in EHVAC and HVDC transmission networks.
