A New Strategy for Optimizing HSIL Transmission Lines

This paper presents an efficient procedure for optimizing the electric field at ground level of high surge impedance loading transmission lines. Such lines have the capacity to achieve higher power transmission rates than the conventional ones. The ellipsoidal method is applied in order to maximize the transmitted power and minimize the electric field at ground level through the variation of the conductor’s positions in the tower, given its physical and electrical constraints. By means of an efficient new approach to handle the conductors, the optimization gives birth to compact line designs combined with conventional bundles of conductors. Furthermore, it is shown that the proposed strategy can increase the transmitted power, reduce the electric field at ground level, and shorten the running time of the optimization algorithm.
