Abstract
A method for the development of optimized tower designs for extra high-voltage transmission lines is presented in this paper. The optimization is with reference to both tower weight and geometry. It is achieved by the control of a chosen set of key design parameters. Fuzziness in the definition of these control variables is also included in the design process. A derivative-free method of nonlinear optimization is incorporated in the program, specially developed for the configuration, analysis and design of transmission line towers. A few interesting results of both crisp and fuzzy optimization, relevant to the design of a typical double circuit transmission line tower under multiple loading conditions, are presented.
