EHV Transmission Line Profiling Guide

The document discusses PLS-CADD software, which is used to design electric power transmission lines. It inputs data like terrain surveys and structure properties. It then performs calculations for tower spotting locations, sag and tension, clearances, and structure strength. The outputs include reports, drawings of the plan and profile views of the line, material lists, and specifications. It streamlines the transmission line design process and allows engineers to easily modify designs and view updated outputs and calculations.

EHV Transmission line profiling


using PLS-CADD
PLS CADD SOFTWARE
Power Line Systems Computer Aided Design and Drafting (PLS CADD)
is a software developed by Power line systems Inc. USA.
The software is used for
Tower Spotting.
Automatic SAG Clearance Calculations.
Wind & Weight Span Calculations.
Preparation of “Plan & Profile View” of the T/L line.
Tower Schedules Generation.
The overall organization of the PLS CADD software is shown in the
following slides.

Key Advantages
 PLS Cadd – software used for preparing
“Plan & Profile Drawing” and “Report
Generation”
 Eliminates manual error in Report
generation.
 Empowers Managers to move / modify
structures and see the effect on the Line.
 Reports / Calculations of modified
structures can be viewed instantly.
Plan & Profile Drawing
Evaluation Of Clearances
Airborne Laser Terrain Mapping(ALTM)

The laser locator installed onboard


records both returns from the
vegetation cover and objects on
the ground (that is the first pulse)
and from the terrain under the
vegetation (that is the last pulse).
This system together with data
processing software are used to
create digital terrain model not
affected by the vegetation.
