Lateral Strength Parameters Estimation of the 400-kV Kerman–Bam Power Transmission Towers

Abstract

AbstractThis paper investigated the strength parameters of transmission towers in the Kerman–Bam line to address vulnerability under external loads. Utilizing modal pushover analysis, the lateral strength parameters of a tower in two principal directions ...Practical ApplicationsThis research provides a robust and practical solution for power system engineers and operators by offering a set of estimating equations that negate the need for complex nonlinear modeling and pushover analyses. Transmission towers ...
