AbstractThe need to transmit energy in the most effective way arises in parallel with the demand for energy in developing countries. As the amount of transmitted power increases, transmission lines can become overloaded, causing a blackout. This study aims to increase the transmission capacity without experiencing right‐of‐way problems by converting Turkey's existing high voltage AC systems to hybrid AC/DC systems. With such a design, it is aimed at providing more efficient and continuous transmission by using the high‐voltage DC system's low‐loss feature at long distances. Using the 400 kV double circuit line structure, the existing electricity transmission system is modelled using real data in the DigSILENT PowerFactory. The electromagnetic fields that will occur due to the use of AC and DC circuits on the same tower in such a transformation situation are analysed with FEMM 4.2, based on the finite element method. The compliance of the electromagnetic fields that will occur with the use of hybrid 400 kV AC and 500 kV DC was determined in the study. In addition, according to the simulation results, it is predicted that in the case of hybrid AC/DC transmission, the current transmission capacity would increase and the losses would decrease.
