| description | Multi-circuit, multi-voltage overhead lines (MMOLs) are becoming a favorable solution in the perspective of ensuring the efficient transmission of electrical energy and limitations relating to the expansion of the transmission network. The main part of this manuscript contains a method that minimizes the effects of risks on the operation of the power system due to asymmetrical MMOLs, with particular emphasis on the circuit with the lowest-rated voltage. The selected set of criteria includes elements such as the determination of the neutral point displacement voltage in the network with the lowest-rated voltage (zero voltage, <i>U</i><sub>0</sub>), selected voltage quality factors, and short-circuit analyses to examine the impact of differences between the use of accurate and simplified mathematical models on the calculation of short-circuit currents. Methods to minimize the effects of MMOL geometric asymmetry have been proposed using simple technical steps, such as selecting the appropriate pole silhouette (indication of the methodology for identifying such supporting structures), changing the way of supplying individual circuits, or using partial transposition in the circuit with the lowest-rated voltage. The proposed methods are verified by analyzing a case study of the development of the transmission network in Poland. |
