The calculation of power transmission lines parameters of electric energy has a fundamental importance in the design, construction and simulation of electric power systems. Generally, the results obtained are used in the database for the studies of power flow, short circuit and stability.
This paper presents a software with graphical interface which allows the estimation of parameters of power transmission lines of electric energy. By means of a tutorial, the user is oriented step by step about the input of data and other features of the line, passing to the calculation stage when the data are correctly and completely entered. The output of the results is shown on the screen on a Pi circuit and through graphics that simulate the voltage drop for a determined load.
