Abstract :
Because of the progressively greater distances from sources of hydroelectric power to large load centers, there is a constant search for more efficient and less costly means of long-distance transmission. This paper proposes a half-wavelength transmission system for point-to-point transmission of power to eliminate many of the operational and design problems associated with conventional long transmission lines.
