These climates greatly affect the growth rate of the vegetation seeking to take root on the land beneath transmission line conductors. Transmission lines are designed, engineered and constructed to ...

The amount of power that an overhead transmission line can transfer is affected by the conductor’s ability to radiate thermal energy. This is determined by the conductor’s surface “darkness,” called ...

PLYMOUTH – Bundled in hats, gloves and winter coats, about a dozen community members fighting against the American Transmission Company’s recently approved transmission line and Plymouth ...

Abstract: Corona effect is a critical factor in the design and construction of ultrahigh-voltage (UHV) transmission lines, since it can cause ionic wind, which induces destructive instability, such as ...

TITLE: Study and FDTD Modeling of the Influence of Direct Lightning Shock on the Power Transmitted by a High-Voltage Power Transmission Line ...

Lake Erie Connector – NextEra Energy Transmission, LLC: A proposed 1,000 MW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) line running beneath Lake Erie to enable efficient electricity exchange between ...

Increasing the conductor size reduces the electric field intensity around the transmission line, lowering the chance of ionization. Increasing the conductor spacing reduces the mutual capacitance ...
