High-temperature sag model for overhead conductors.

High-temperature sag model for overhead conductors.

As electric utilities strive to operate their transmission lines at higher temperatures, several constraints exist that make this goal difficult to achieve. Load may not flow over a desired path, even though the transmission line may have sufficient thermal capacity. Even if system components that a...
