Abstract :
The German “Energiewende” requires a notable transmission network expansion. Since 2009, only approximately 400□km of 1877□km were realized. Most projects are delayed because of the low acceptance amongst local residents due to the perceived potential risk for the environment. This paper presents a transparent method of acquiring environmental parameters caused by the visibility of the transmission towers. These parameters can be used to evaluate several routes and designs of overhead transmission lines.
