The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has released a committee report on the calculation of Right-of-Way (RoW) width for transmission lines built with contemporary technological options. The report focuses on RoW calculations for transmission lines utilizing monopole towers and HTLS (high temperature low sag) conductors. The report offers comparisons between RoW widths for different configurations, including ACSR conductors with monopole structures, HTLS conductors with monopole structures, and HTLS conductors with conventional lattice towers. This new report…
