Overhead conductor motion (Aeolian vibration, galloping and sub-span oscillations) has been an operation and maintenance issue for about eight decades, but conductor motion is still causing utilities problems. This tutorial will review Aeolian vibration, galloping and sub-span oscillations, conductor and hardware problems caused by conductor motion, and discuss the state-of-art of conductor motion mitigation technologies and methodologies; review issues caused by line designs and lessons learned by utilities. This tutorial will also provide recommendations on conductor motion management. Engineers, managers, technicians working in the overhead line design, construction and maintenance areas, utility staff working in operations, system planning, or OHL asset management areas, and staff from hardware manufacturers and suppliers, consultants and universities will benefit from this half-day tutorial.
