Towards a holistic perspective of the existing overhead line power network to facilitate its flexible expansion

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

    Abstract

    The problem of massive electricity transmission is addressed here by presenting some alternatives for optimizing the power transfer capacity of existing Overhead Line Systems (OHL). Some results from a hypothetical case study of a British lattice tower OHL system under re-conductoring and implementation of new composite cross-arm technology are presented. Analysis involves sag, ampacity, and insulation coordination, which suggest that the novel technology allows voltage upgrating. The paper concludes with a unified framework for evaluating the performance and reliability of high-voltage overhead lines under various improvement scenarios. © 2011 IEEE.
