INCREASING TRANSMITTED POWER WITH COST MITIGATION VIA MODIFIED EHV POWER LINES IN EGYPTIAN GRID

Abstract

Our thesis introduces suggested solutions and alternatives for increasing the transmis- sion capacity of the existing lines with the optimum cost. This requires to evaluate the electric field profiles between and closed to submitted hybrid and HVDC power lines in Egyptian grid and the cost of the different proposed alternatives. Four alternatives will be patterned and modeled. Numerical technique will be applied to estimate the field profiles beside and among the presented lines. The technique is the charge simulation method (CSM) for electric field estimation. The simulations and analysis will be per- formed using a computer program performed by attractive packages such as MATLAB.
