Study of Transmission Line Insulators Selection Based on LCC Theory
Up to now, little research has been done on the application of the LCC (life cycle cost) management theory to the schemes evaluation of power transmission line insulators selection. In this study, based on the LCC theory, all kinds of costs in the whole life of transmission line insulators are broken down, an LCC estimation model is proposed, and LCC analysis and LCC evaluation are conducted on the cost model, and thus a set of LCC evaluation system used for insulators selection is established. Based on the example of a certain 220 kV transmission line insulator selection, the application of the LCC evaluation system in the selection decision-making of transmission line insulators is studied. Finally, with a comparative study of the three schemes, a comprehensive solution to transmission line insulators selection is achieved which is optimal both technically and economically.
