IEEE'S APPROACH FOR INCREASING TRANSMISSION LINE RATINGS IN NORTH AMERICA

, , and .
(-)

Abstract

Open transmission access and economic Ullcertamtles are the reasons why many North American utilities are operating their lines at much higher loads than they were initially designed for. Because of this. IEEE's WG on Thermal Aspects of Conductors and Accessories has been actively engaged in studying the effects of higher operating temperatures on the safety and reliability of overhead lines. The work has identified significant areas where improved analyticalmetilods are necessary. Several such methods have already been created and their impact is discussed in the following repOli.
