BPAs probability-based clearance buffers. II. Application to the design of new lines.

A procedure to develop clearance buffers for the design of a new line, based on probabilistic techniques, as used by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is described. A statistical clearance model for new lines (the line design nominal statistical clearance model) tailors the expected scatter...
