Abstract

In light of rapidly developing issues affecting the electricity industry - climate change, energy security, market deregulation, mandatory reliability standards, continued load growth, and aging infrastructure to name a few - transmission in the 21st Century has taken on a much more complex and pivotal role in the nation´s energy future. Political and economic forces are now as much in play as physical forces, and each is having a profound effect on how we view and plan for the transmission system of the future.
