Design of Ultra-High-Voltage Alternating Current (UHVAC) Power Transmission Lines

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ultra-high Voltage AC/DC Power Transmission

Part of the book series: Advanced Topics in Science and Technology in China ((ATSTC))

Abstract

The UHV lines have the characteristics of high reliability requirements, high voltage level, large transmission capacity, etc. And currently, the 1000 kV UHVAC power transmission lines mainly consist of two forms, i.e. single-circuit and double-circuit on the same tower. This chapter will focus on the discussion in the engineering design of 1000 kV UHVAC lines, including design basis, line routes, design meteorological conditions, selection of conductor and ground wire, insulation coordination design, design of insulator strings and fittings, conductor transposition design and tower design.
