Overhead Power Lines Planning, Design, Construction
The basic elements of overhead power line technology have been known for many years. However, this technology has continuously developed, for example, adjusting the design of the lines to new transmission needs and to available rights-of-way, and to accom

Foreword
It is a great honour to be asked by the authors to prepare a foreword to this book on overhead lines. Electricity has been used as a major energy source since the late 19th century. In 1891, three-phase alternating current transmission started, when a 175 km long line was commissioned to supply electricity to an international electrical engineering exhibition held in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). Since electric energy cannot be stored, generation in power plants and consumption need to be permanently balanced requiring powerful transmission systems. Such systems were installed in many parts of the world in the 20 th century utilising step by step rising voltages. The 110 kV voltage was used in Germany in 1912; lines adopting 220 kV were opened there in 1929; in 1952, 400 kV transm
