New software revolutionizes design of overhead lines for improved energy distribution.
The article presents a new way to optimize the design of overhead power lines. The researchers used a mathematical approach called Constraint Satisfaction Problem theory to create a software platform that helps engineers design transmission lines more efficiently. By considering factors like pole locations, cable tension, and material limits, the software can find the best design while meeting all necessary requirements. The researchers tested their approach with a case study on a low-voltage sub-network, showing that it can handle different constraints and parameters effectively.
