Effects of Tree Mortality on Power Line Security
The vast majority of tree-related outrages stem from tree failure, particularly if outrages during severe weather events are included. A new mathematical model, the optimal clear width calculator, is used to assess the tree risk over variable clear widths and line heights. The risk ratings in the output line strike probability charts permit quantitative comparisons of construction and maintenance options. The line strike probability in line security for dollar invested in additional clear width.
