Abstract :
The significant increase in power demand, with the resulting saturation of electrical transmission and distribution lines, has made Iberdrola to review its strategy to increase the ampacity of existing lines. Traditionally, line upgrading techniques have been applied (change from single conductor to twin bundle, increase in conductor cross section, increase in voltage level or the use of double circuits).
