11. Conclusion

The results showed that the implementation of the derived models in MATLAB provided a reliable strategy in the determination of the wind-induced dynamic properties of high voltage transmission lines. The results from MATLAB simulation, finite element method and experimental recordings were similar in values and showed similar trend. MATLAB as an environment can be used as a reliable simulation tool to implement and analyze high voltage conductor dynamics. The parameters obtained from the results, to some degree of accuracy can be used to predict the response of conductors due to aeolian vibration caused by wind loading.
