Phase sequence selection method of double-circuit transmission lines on the same tower based on a comprehensive index

The non-transposition erection of transmission lines will lead to the imbalance of electrical parameters, which will affect the protection and automatic reclosing. The best phase sequence arrangement is determined by comprehensively considering the comprehensive indexes (current imbalance, secondary current, and recovery voltage) of double transmission un-transposed lines with shared towers. PSCAD/EMTDC electromagnetic transient simulation software is applied to build a typical 750kV transmission line model for simulation analysis, and the comprehensive indexes under different phase sequence arrangements are studied. The analysis reveals that the arrangement of phase sequence exerts a significant consequence of the comprehensive index. The findings indicate that the margin and different secondary current and recovery voltage indexes, double transmission un-transposed lines with shared towers can be erected in the same direction or in different phase sequences to reduce the current imbalance.
