TADEE Transmission Line Analyser

A browser-based tool for analysing balanced three-phase AC overhead transmission lines using standard ABCD-parameter methods. Built with a Windows 98-style interface using 98.css.

TADEE Analyser Group 4 — Version 1.1

Overview

The TADEE Analyser models single-circuit bundled-conductor overhead transmission lines. Three line models are supported:

Model Suitable for Description
Short < 80 km Series impedance only; shunt capacitance neglected
Nominal π 80 250 km Shunt capacitance split equally at each end
Distributed > 250 km Exact hyperbolic solution using distributed parameters

Features

Input Parameters

  • Line length, receiving-end load, power factor, nominal voltage, and frequency
  • Symmetrical (single D) or unsymmetrical (Dab, Dbc, Dca) conductor geometry
  • Bundled conductor support: 24 sub-conductors per bundle with configurable spacing
  • Conductor strand count, strand diameter, and AC resistance per unit length

Results

  • Inductance and capacitance per phase per km
  • Inductive and capacitive reactance
  • ABCD generalised circuit constants (polar form)
  • Sending-end voltage (phase and line-to-line), sending-end current, and charging current
  • Voltage regulation, three-phase power loss, transmission efficiency
  • Surge impedance (Zc) and surge impedance loading (SIL)

Canvas Diagrams

Three interactive diagram subpanes, each supporting scroll-wheel zoom and click-and-drag pan:

  • Conductor Arrangement — cross-section view with GMD/GMR annotations; optional to-scale rendering
  • Circuit Diagram — equivalent circuit schematic for the selected model; distributed model includes ladder and d/dx differential views
  • Phasor Diagram — Vs, Vr, Is, Ir phasors at correct magnitudes and angles

File Operations

  • Save / Open — save and restore input parameters as JSON
  • Export result as — PDF report, JSON, plain text, or Markdown
  • Batch Mode — run the analyser over many parameter combinations at once, via a range sweep or a loaded JSON file (array-of-objects or object-of-arrays format); export all results as JSON or multi-page PDF

Running Locally

The app uses ES modules and must be served over HTTP — opening index.html directly from the filesystem (file://) will not work.

Python (recommended):

cd tadee-analyser-web
python3 -m http.server 8080

Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Node.js (npx serve):

npx serve .

VS Code Live Server extension: right-click index.htmlOpen with Live Server.

Internet access is required for CDN-loaded assets (98.css fonts, KaTeX). The app will still function without it, but fonts and math rendering may degrade.


Dependencies

All dependencies are loaded from CDN — no build step or package manager required.
