Electric power transmission refers to the bulk movement of electrical energy from the site of generation such as power plant to an electrical substation. There are different tools that are used in transmission system design. These tools are transmission route identification and selection, transmission network expansion planning, network analysis, and reliability analysis. In order to analyze the performance of a specific transmission system, a system planner uses tools such as load-flow, stability, and short-circuit programs. Automatic expansion models are also sometimes used to determine the optimum system. The automatic expansion models can be categorized into three types including heuristic models, single-stage optimization models, and time-phased optimization models. This book explores the design of transmission systems in detail. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
