Torre de transmissão de energia elétrica: novo design e os desafios da inserção no contexto urbano

Abstract

The distribution of electricity in Brazil is made by overhead transmission lines (using towers or poles as support for cables) to a greater extent, or underground, in special situations. To connect the power plants to the farthest distribution centers, so that the energy reaches the final consumer, airlines need to cross different regions of the country through both rural and urban areas without an aesthetic distinction in the tower design varies according to the type of environment, generating numerous negative impacts in urban areas. With technological development and changes of the social and economic standards there is a need of transformation and evolution not only the system but also the elements that compose it, always in search of more appropriate solutions to the needs of modern society that view not only the optimization electric project, but jointly adapting the urban environment designed tower structure. In this work, we developed a specific design of power transmission tower for these areas to minimize the impacts. This project involves different areas of knowledge, and numerous studies should be done to develop a large project as it involves a transmission line, but as it is an academic work, it will be based on a didactic point of view, where the parameters may be estimated or approximated, so as to obtain a satisfactory result for the development work.
