The Economic Analysis of Large Cross-Section Conductor in ±800kV DC Project

Abstract

Conductor scheme is one of most key issues in the design of the transmission lines project, and it is significant for the construction cost and safe operation of transmission lines project. It can be aslo concluded from analysis on application of existing conductor that the appropriate decrease of number of bundle conductor and increase of the conductor cross-section will reduce lines loss, which has remarkable social-economic benefits. In this paper, the economic analysis of large cross-section conductor is conducted based on ±800kV DC Project. Some useful suggestions are given.
