I work at a government's power utility company that is in charge of three areas: Generation, Transmision and Distribution, however, my area of work is distribution. The area of Transmision has been presenting a serious of apertures in the transmision line due to atmospheric discharges. The transmision line that brings electricity to the north coast of this country is a radial transmision line and we do not have another power line to back up in case the power line opens up (aperture). I need help as to how I may suggest ideas to my fellow transmision engineers to reduce the number of black outs that occurs everytime a power line is struck by lightning. Sometimes the substation relay is successful in doing the reclose but sometimes is not. Two years ago they grounded every tower and has helped a lot but not enough.
