Abstract
The thesis investigated the possibility of overhead power line designs being decided by using an objective rather than a subjective method. Power lines are required to meet criteria for load and transfer capability as specified by system planners which results in many different line design solutions. The decision as to which solution to adopt and construct is difficult if a subjective method is used. The hypothesis proposed is thus as follows: It appears that one or a small set of appropriate technology indicators can be used by network planners and designers to identify the best group of overhead lines to meet specified objectives. These indicators can be used for a wide range of applications for AC and DC lines.
