Abstract

In India, ACSR and AAAC conductors are ordinarily used for transmission of electricity. As the consumption of electricity jump up across the country in order to speedy expansion in industrial, agriculture and commercial section. In outcome, amount of power transfer capacity has to be raised on overhead transmission lines, diminution of losses and optimization of Right of Way are the big matter we are facing presently. To overcome these affairs, new generation high performance conductors are appropriated which would support in rise the power transmission capacity and meet today’s demand under normal as well as in emergency situation. So HTLS ( High Temperature Low Sag) conductors is the one of the progressive way to expand the transmission line capacity and settling the matter like growing congestion in existing network. It is wise option to change the ACSR conductor with the HTLS conductor which can be treated as the re-conductoring of the transmission network. Choose of HTLS conductor is also a vital parameter for re-conductoring of any transmission line.This paper examine the problem of overloading of transmission line and mitigation by re-conductoring through HTLS conductors. A case study is described by reconductoring of ACSS type conductor and optimum solution is recommended for bypass burden of transmission line.
