Summary

In most countries the demand for electric power is constantly increasing, and there is a corresponding requirement to increase the power transferred by transmission and distribution lines. A solution would be to build new lines, but this may not be feasible on account of economic or environmental considerations. Hence, there may be pressure to increase the load transfer capacity of both new and old lines.
