765 kV Transmission Line Design
 Abstract
Nowadays, due to the ever increasing energy consumption and power supply optimization,
it is required to construct new power plants, substations and transmission lines. In Pakistan,
also, because of increasing demand for electrical energy, for a significant power loss
reduction in power transmission over long distances, and to construct high transmission
lines that lead to reduction in the economic costs of transmission lines, the transmission
lines must be considered at extra high voltage (EHV) levels. These EHV levels should be
compared with the low voltage levels in order to extract the benefits. Therefore, in this
paper, a review has been conducted on the types of 765 kV transmission lines used in
different countries. Accordingly, the advantages of EHV transmission lines are summarized.
Finally, designing a line of 765 kV single-circuits with 6 conductors per bundle based on
existing standards is presented.
Introduction
Nowadays, power systems are extensively interconnected requiring the huge transfer of
electric power. Considering that a typical transmission line with a certain voltage level, can
only carry a limited capacity, to carry an enormous power it is required to construct extra
high voltage (EHV) transmission lines. Due to the vastness of Pakistan and energy demand
increase, using 765kV EHV transmission lines can be a good choice to meet the needs. 765
kV transmission lines have been established in some countries including South Korea, India
and the United States of America and different standards are provided for these
transmission lines by IEEE etc. However, to make in parameters these standards with
respect to Pakistan’s current conditions, such as for weather conditions, require the
combination and analysis of international standards and national standards which are
available for other voltage levels. In this paper, using IEEE standards related to 765kV
transmission lines, and 500KV standards, electrical design of all parts of a 765kV
transmission line is presented.
THEORY :
 765kv Transmission line:
It is a three phase transmission line system in which each phase consists of 6 conductors.
We are using the rail conductor whose specifications are given.

Ground Clearance:
Minimum ground clearance is=3.1m for 33kv
For each 33kv it is 0.3048
Now
765/33 = 23.18
Now, MGC =3.1+22.18(0.3048)
MGC = 9.9m
Insulators:
As per standard one insulator disk per phase is used for 11kv transmission line
So, 765/11=69.54
For safety purpose we used 70 insulators per phase.
RIGHT OF WAY :
We have used the simpler and the shortest way for this transmission line.
Sag and Tension:
As we know that Sag = WL^2/8T (if towers length is same)
Where W=1.6kg/m
L= 1000/3=333.33m (span b/w two towers)
T=Ultimate tensile strength/Safety factor
T=11748.042/2
T=5874.021kg
Now, Sag= 1.6(333.33) ^2/8(5874.021)
Sag=3.78m
Factors affecting the sag

Sag=WL*2/8T
 Conductor weight – Sag of the conductor is directly proportional to its weight. The
weight of the conductors is increased due to ice loading.
 Span – Sag is directly proportional to the square of the span length. Longer span
gives more sag.
 Tension -The sag is inversely proportional to the tension in the conductor. Higher
tension increases the stress in the insulators and supporting structures.
 Wind – It increases sag in the inclined direction.
 Temperature – The sag is reduced at low temperatures and is increases at higher
temperatures.
CONCLUSION
Given the growing need for electrical energy, appropriate measures are essential to
overcome the Problems of electric power transmission lines, reducing permitted distances,
increasing network reliability from the view point of less outage, power loss reduction
especially corona losses, communication disturbances reduction and many other issues. In
this paper, the importance of increasing voltage of transmission lines and the benefits that
resolve many of the problems are studied, and finally, a double circuit 765kV transmission
line with six conductors per phase were compared with lower voltage levels transmission
lines and the results were analyzed.
