With new progresses in technology, a growing need to power energy has emerged. In Iran most of power plants are far from cities and therefore expansion of power network will cause long transmission lines with high capacities which connect power plants to cities. There are three solutions for these kinds of lines: 1) two-circuit transmission lines 2) higher voltages 3) new forms of transmission lines (HVDC and compact). In this thesis some of these suggestions have been analyzed to find the best solution for a 560 Km transmission line in Iran.
Designing transmission lines has a lot of steps which all are related to each other. In this project a comprehensive algorithm has been utilized to...
