Compact Overhead Line Design: AC and DC Lines

This Green Book provides the design engineer with an understanding of the electrical parameters and methods required in designing compact AC and DC lines.

Compact AC and DC lines are becoming increasingly necessary due to the limitation of right of way access and the need to upgrade power transfer in existing, narrower line corridors. Another requirement for compact AC lines is the lower impedance permitting increased power flow.

For DC power lines, increased power flow can only be reali...
