Increasing the Strength Capacity of Existing Overhead Transmission Line Structures

In the context of the energy transition to integrate renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions, electricity networks need to significantly increase in capacity and flexibility. However, in many countries, electricity network operators face strong restrictions on enabling new corridors for the implementation of new overhead transmission and distribution line projects. The solution, in many cases, is to use existing rights of ways to increase power transmission capability through uprating overhead line projects. In most of these cases, reinforcements on the structures are required.
