Abstract :
Many utilities, faced with the problems of expansion, have initiated long-range studies to evaluate the possibilities of using extrahigh transmission voltages, such as 345 kv. In this article, 345-kv systems are compared with the more commonly used 138-kv systems on the basis of right-of-way requirements, reliability of operation, and cost.
