Authors representing diverse regions comprehensively discuss the many advances in transmission system technologies. The articles in this issue address how:
- compact line designs increase the transfer capabilities of transmission facilities, yet use considerably less right of way than traditional construction
- dynamic line ratings can increase transmission line thermal ratings, especially in overhead lines during times of high generation by nearby wind plants
- ultrahigh voltage (±1,000 kV) ac transmission lines and equipment can be designed to transport many gigawatts of power over hundreds of kilometers
- condition-monitoring system applications and analyses manage maintenance and predict equipment failures
- modern protection and control systems improve performance and maintenance practices
- research on the electromagnetic and thermal behaviors of conductors expand our knowledge of cable design and performance
- gases other than sulfur hexafluoride can be used in substations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- the ability to monitor the status of huge transmission networks and perform real-time analyses can improve system security
- simulators can integrate modelsof many different devices into large-scale networks to perform complex analyses
- modern controls for battery systems protect equipment while maximizing value streams for the various services these devices can perform.
