A COMPARISON OF WIND AND ICE LOADS FOR THE DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION LINES

摘要

The main objective of this paper is to study and compare various reliability based criteria for weather events proposed by current codes such as ASCE74, CSA/CAN, IEC and CENELEC and to discuss their impact on overall line reliability. For demonstration purposes, climatic loads imposed to a specific transmission lines situated in Boston are calculated for different return periods.
