The Placement of the Transmission Lightning Arrester (TLA) at 150 kV Network using Fuzzy Logic

摘要

Lightning is one of the main considerations in the causes of the high voltage network's overhead lines failure. The lightning even also become one of the most dangerous event on the transmission system. The placement of the Transmission Lightning Arresters (TLAs) is employed for optimizing the location of protection equipment, reducing the cost of installation and identifying the risk of failure. This paper uses fuzzy logic to get the optimal placement location for Transmission Lightning Arresters (TLAs) and the model for transmission tower were simulated on a 150 kv high voltage network in the Maros-Sungguminasa. The simulation results confirm the optimal placement of the Transmission Lightning Arresters (TLAs) in the system.
