Abstract

The improvement of reliability indexes as the energy not supplied is a major issue in electricity markets. This paper proposes a new multiple-objective optimization formulation to solve the problem of outage rate reduction of electric transmission lines due to back-flashover phenomena from technical and economical viewpoint. The method allows us to determine the trade-offs (Pareto front) between the outage rate of the transmission line and the investment costs of adding insulation or reducing grounding impedance at each tower. Improved results are obtained when compared to the traditional approach based on a standardized tower-by-tower design. The use of different objectives provides a broad set of noninferior design solutions to the engineer in order to make the final selection when compared to the single-objective—construction costs—formulation, where the minimum cost solution is directly provided by the optimization algorithm. The proposed methodology was successfully tested on a real case consisting of a 230 kV transmission line project, 85.4 km long, with 180 towers.
