Abstract

A computer method based on the principle of dynamic programming has been developed within The Electricity Commission of New South Wales to select the optimum arrangement of transmission tower sites, types, and heights for a surveyed transmission line route. The method is shown to produce a more economical design than that obtained manually, and is more flexible than other known computer methods. It is particularly suitable for transmission lines designed with high maximum conductor temperatures. The results are produced as a tower schedule giving all required design information. A printed profile of the transmission line route with the selected towers and conductor curves superimposed can also be produced.
