Technical and economic data for overhead lines in high-voltage a. c. and d. c. transmission

Abstract

For the study of 'High-power electricity transmission and distribution in densely populated areas' technical and economic data were compiled for high-voltage alternating current and direct current transmission. A modification of the overhead lines for transmitting higher powers is possible as required by means of higher rated transmission voltages, larger conductor cross-sections and a larger number of circuits installed on each mast. For the use of larger partial conductor cross-sections and of bundle conductors with more than 4 partial conductors, and also to use voltages higher than 380 kV, development work is requisite from the points of view of construction, installation, insulators and fittings. Further possible developments result from the use of new materials such as plastic insulators which make possible the use of more versatile shapes for application in heavy pollution, particulary for direct current overhead lines. By using insulating crossarms the width of path can be considerably reduced. Economic efficiency investigations show even today higher cost for such techniques compared with lines of earlier construction.
