There have been various suggestions for improving
existing power line networks with the purpose of increasing their
throughput capacity as well as the reliability of power supply.
This is an important problem that must be considered, especially
if the transmission grid requires the prospective expansion of
new electrical connections. Therefore, the use of High
Temperature Low Sag conductors replacing the traditional type
conductors can be one of the possible solutions for the posed
problem.
The paper deals with a comparative analysis of the technical
(mechanical and heating limitations) and economic efficiency of
using conductors of different types, which is based on two actual
overhead line models; both examples are existing lines of the
Latvian power network. The results of the evaluation, which are
based on the particular calculation conditions, are presented in
this paper.
Keywords
Costs, cost benefit analysis, power transmission, parameter estimation, transmission line.
