| Abstract |
The tensile strength of an overhead transmission line’s conductor in response to an aging is being assessed in this paper. It is our view that, the decrement in the conductor’s tensile strength is a key index that can be used to determine a conductor’s end of life and a current limits. This paper describes a probabilistic method of assessing this index for main transmission lines which are responsible for the north bound power flow in the Seoul metropolitan area. Such an assessment can be a useful guide for economic system operation. |
