Summary
This TB explores the subject of achieving large capacity increases on existing transmission lines. It first touches the roles and interrelations of planners and designers and then discusses technologies that can be used to increase the capacity. At the end it shows the importance of the relationship between owners, operators and the public and its representatives.
