About Line View

Introduction

Line View is software tool intended for teaching the theory of overhead power line design. The software is simple to use and follows the traditional rulling span approach to line design.

 

Software philosophy

The philosophy of this software is simplicity. The tool only models bottom catenary in one rulling section. The original objective was to transfer the traditional line design method, of paper sag curves and profiles, and replicate that process in a computer environment.

 

Future developments

Future developments of this software shall consider the objective of simplicity. Adding too many features simply makes this tool less effective as an instructional aid.

 

Some proposed developments are:

1. Land feature identification

2. 3D version (under construction)

3. Lunix version

4. Design optimisation tool
