dc.description.abstractA frequency domain computer code, which predicts PLC (Power Line Carrier) signal attenuation, including the effect of coupling equipment, has been developed. The code was validated against measurements at ESKOM's Koeberg-Acacia 400 kV transmission line. Strong correlation, over a 28-day period, was observed between measured signal strength and predicted average phase conductor temperature. This significant finding might be exploited for real-time control of ampacity.
