2. WHY UPRATING / UPGRADING
IS REQUIRED ?
Existing and planned infrastructures have made it
extremely difficult to build new transmission line to
meet the electricity demand-supply gap.
It becomes highly pertinent to uprate or upgrade the
already existing line rather than constructing new
transmission line.2
4. SYSTEM STUDY
Study on existing power transmission system for
selecting the optimum solution.
Conceptual study for optimal solution regarding
the upgrading of the existing 220 kV double
circuit transmission line corridor.

5. ANALYSIS OF SYSTEM
Identify an optimum alternative to upgrade the
transmission line corridor.
Evaluate the performance of the power
transmission system.
Investigating the capability of existing towers and
foundations to withstand new mechanical
loadings.
Undertake financial analysis for most promising
alternative.
Estimate cost of various alternatives.5

study conducted over the data available for existing towers [1].

8. INCREASING POWER RATING
Power in a circuit is increased by:
Uprating (increase in current flow).
Upgrading (increase in voltage level).
Both upgrading and uprating.
Surge impedance loading.
8
9. UPRATING
Line modification that yields increase in current flow
limits is known as uprating [2].
Conductors are normally operated below the thermal
rating of the line.
Current flow is increased to operate the conductor
closer to its thermal limit.
Reconductoring the line with HTLS conductor is one
of the solutions.
9
10. HIGH PERFORMANCE
CONDUCTOR
Carbon fibre core
High operating temperature
Ampacity twice as that of ACSR.
Low sag.
Higher Aluminium content.
Resistance comparatively low.
10
11. HIGH PERFORMANCE
CONDUCTOR FITTINGS
Supreme has developed and
conducted electrical tests on
conductor fittings, specifically
designed for HTLS conductors.
Since HTLS conductors
operate at higher
temperature, they require
special type of clamps and
fittings.
11
12. LINE UPGRADING
Modifications that allow operation at higher voltage
level.
Results in higher increase in power flow, compared to
uprating.
Percentage voltage drop decreases.
Need to replace substation equipments.
Maintaining the electrical clearance increase as per
the voltage rating by reconfiguring insulator and12
13. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
LINE UPGRADING
Electrical Clearance.
RoW acquisition (may be required in exceptional
cases).
Civil and structural modifications (may be required).
Mitigation of Corona and Radio Interference Voltage
(RIV).

16. PRINCIPLE OF AN
INSULATOR
Freedom of movement provided
to the conductor determines the
clearance required for the line
[3].
Clearance should be provided
for both inward and outward
swing of the conductor.
For a suspension insulator,
freedom of movement is very
high and hence more clearance
will be required.
16
17. INSULATED CROSSARM
Insulated crossarms are polymer
insulators that directly fixed to the
tower [4].
This eliminates the use of metallic
crossarm.
With the freedom of movement
restricted, the conductors swing
will be reduced significantly.
This reduces the required live -
metal clearance level and thus
making the line compact.
17
18. INTER PHASE SPACERS
Inter Phase Spacers are used to
maintain phase to phase
clearance even under high wind
condition.
This reduces short circuit
problems encountered in many
high voltage lines.
Composite insulators which has
high strength to weight ratio are
mainly used as inter phase
spacer.18
19. INTERMEDIATE STRUCTURE
If an intermediate structure is
needed after final analysis, we
could opt the use of monopoles.
Monopoles will require lesser foot
print when compared with a lattice
tower.
Foot print can be restricted as per
the availability of space
19
20. DISCONNECTION OF EXISTING LINK
DURING UPGRADING
Line shutdown is required for
making the erection works.
Temporary towers, supported by
guy wires without civil foundations,
can be installed in parallel with
existing line.
Line will be disconnected only at
the time of by-passing.
Power outage will only be in the20

22. CORONA INCEPTION VALUE
The voltage gradient necessary to produce corona at the
conductor surface is given by,
𝐸0 = 30 ∗ 𝑚 1 +
0.301
𝑟
where
r : radius of the conductor and
m : surface irregularity factor
For example, consider Moose conductor with radius 1.5885
cm and surface irregularity factor, m= 0.80
We get, E0 = 30.76 kV/cm.
Beyond or near this value, the conductor has corona effect.
22
23. CALCULATION FOR CONDUCTOR
SURFACE GRADIENT:
The conductor surface gradient is calculated from the following
equation [5]:
E = (V/√3)*(b/(r*ln ((a/Re)*2h/ √(4h2+a2))))
where
E : conductor surface voltage gradient (kV/cm)
V : line voltage (kV)
b : factor for multiple conductors
r : radius of conductor (cm)
R : outside radius of bundle (cm)
Re : equivalent radius of bundle conductor (cm)
S : distance between component conductor centers (cm)
a : phase spacing (cm)
h : height of conductor above ground (cm)
n : number of component conductors in bundle
