Abstract

Suppose one of our choices is to use a 400 kV line with 1/5 per unit reactance and 1/16 per unit resistance (per km) of the respective values of an available 230 kV line. In terms of the susceptance, it is assumed that B of the 400 kV line is 2.5 times that of the 230 kV line. Moreover assume that its thermal capacity is three times higher than that of the 230 kV line.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Upgraded from the earlier 400 kV line with a lower capacity to a higher capacity type.

  2. 2.

    This type of substation is normally referred to a switching substation.

  3. 3.

    In terms of connecting lines in various voltages, voltage upgrading of existing substations, expansions of existing substations by adding new transformers, etc.

  4. 4.

    It represents the costs of land, protection systems, etc. which obviously depend on the voltage involved.

  5. 5.

    The reader may follow other alternatives. However, they may only be applied for small scale systems.

  • The references of this chapter are same as the references of Chap. 8. Reference [1] is the typical reference of most transmission planning studies. Reference [2] reviews the research up to 2003. Test models are covered in [3]. Some mathematical based approaches are given in [4], [5–8]. Non-mathematical based algorithms are quite a few. Some are introduced in [9–12]. Some of these are compared in [13]. If the transmission system comprises of several voltages; the substation configuration is to be determined in combination with transmission network; GEP and TEP are to be analyzed together or a multi-year approach is to carried out, the problem becomes more complex. Some of these issues are covered in [14–17].
