METHOD FOR SELECTING CONDUCTORS OF AN OVERHEAD POWER TRANSMISSION LINE

摘要

Methods for selecting a conductor configuration of an overhead power tran smission line tension section between two dead-end towers when the conductor configuration includes at least two different types of conductors. Geograph ical profile information and overhead power transmission line preferences ar e used along with predetermined selection rules when selecting the appropria te conductor configuration. Some examples of overhead power transmission lin e preferences include electrical characteristics and conductor sag between t owers, while examples of selection rules include conductor costs and conduct or tension.
