Abstract :
The growing demand for energy transmission capacity in the grid leads to an increased need of ampacity not only of overhead lines but also within substations. Retrofitting of bus bars and conductor bars in general often means rebuilding major parts of a substation. Hence the possibility of using a dynamic ampacity rating for conductor bars in highly loaded substation bays is investigated.
