Abstract
Transmission line outages caused by fires are frequent and affect the electric power supply to the population. Studying the factors that may aid in the understanding of this problem is fundamental to improve performance and guide future projects involving this type of installation. This study analyzed the forest inventories of vegetation adjacent to three Brazilian transmission line trunks and calculated their specific fire loads. The results were compared with the performance of these installations and revealed a high correlation (R2=0.9877) between the fire load and the number of transmission line outages, demonstrating the influence of vegetation on the operation of these installations.
期刊介绍:
The journal Forest Science was established in 1991 with the goal of being a vehicle for dissemination which are published works tércnico-scientific forest-related, the following bodies crowded the Centro de Ciências Rurais of Universidade Federal de Santa Maria:
- Centro de Pesquisas Florestais - CEPEF
- Programa de Pós-graduação em Engenharia Florestal - PPGEF
- Departamento de Ciências Florestais - DCFL
MISSION:
Publish scientific papers, technical notes, and literature reviews related to the area of forest sciences.
