Abstract

In predicting the future of UHV transmission lines, the author has followed a twofold approach. First, a quantitative analysis is made of the characteristics of future UHV lines, as conceived in the light of present-day techniques. Second, new solutions considered particularly suitable for UHV lines are discussed. Two basic assumptions are made: (1) that the need to transmit ever-greater quantities of electric energy by overhead lines will continue and (2) that society will become increasingly concerned over esthetic considerations.
