Gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) is an established high voltage technology used when environmental or structural considerations restrict the use of overhead transmission lines. With an overview on the technical, economical and environmental impact and power system implications of GIL, this guide provides a complete understanding of its physical design, features and advantages. The author illustrates how to evaluate when GIL would be the best solution during the planning sequence and how to apply GIL in the electricity power network.
Other key features include: operation and maintenance requirements with information on repair processes, duration, and different monitoring systems enabling the achievement of reliable and safe operation; a wide variety of realized applications from across the world over the past 35 years, illustrating typical fields of application through descriptions of real projects that the author has worked on; and future application possibilities in a smart transmission network, used for solving power transmission problems.
This is an essential reference for engineers involved in planning and executing bulk power transmission projects overground, in tunnels or buried. It offers a concise summary of all areas of the subject and is the perfect aid for utility power engineers, consulting engineers and manufacturers worldwide.

Gas Insulated Transmission Lines (GIL)
Chapter One
Introduction
This introduction explains the background reasons why the gas-insulated transmission line (GIL) will play an increasing role in the future of electric power supply and why this book is being written today.
1.1 Changing Electric Power Supply
The power transmission systems of today will see basic changes in the near future. The impact of global warming affects the structure of electric power generation. Regenerative energy sources will be used to a much greater extent than today. Onshore and offshore wind, solar thermal, photovoltaic, biomass, hydropower, geothermal and sea-based power generation using wave, tidal or under-sea current power generation are all regenerative resources to generate electric power.
The sources of regenerative electric power will enter the electric power market as large-scale generators or as distributed small-sized power installations. Large-scale electric power and generation locations are usually far away from the load centres, and need to be connected through the electric power grid.
To handle these new electric power resources, intelligent power flow control is needed – a so-called "smart grid". Smart energy consumption based on prices traded on the electricity market will require electric energy transmission from generator to consumer. Changing power flows caused by the availability of regenerative power sources such as wind, sun, waves, tides and all the other fluctuating regenerative energy sources will need power flow control and long-distance power transmission. Energy storage will play a much more important role if fluctuating regenerative energ
