AEP Transmission engineers have developed a new 765-kV “Delta” transmission tower design aimed at modernizing high-voltage grid infrastructure. The design is intended to reduce right-of-way needs, lower tower weight, and improve electrical performance, with manufacturing drawings underway and full-scale tower testing planned within the year. AEP said the innovation builds on its long history with 765-kV lines and has helped it win a competitive 765-kV project in Wisconsin.
