An electric power system consists
of generation, transmission and
distribution of electric energy.
Transmission lines are used to
transmit electric power to distant
large load centers. Over the past
few decades, the rapid growth of
electric power systems has resulted
in an increase in the number of lines
in operation and their total length
Further, the power transfer
capability of a line depends upon
the voltage and the cross section of
the line conductor. The latest
technological development in
the design and manufacture of
power line conductors makes it
possible to enhance the power
transfer capability by retaining the geometrical dimensions and
mechanical properties of the
conventional conductors or little
modification.
