Overhead Line Design Rules

there are a few design rules that are specific to overhead lines in optioneer access roads costings calculates the cost of constructing access roads based on the distance to the nearest linear feature electrical energy loss calculate the annual energy losses and associated costs takes into account a separate winter and summer load cycle, otherwise assumes constant average load throughout those cycles global viewshed analysis configure the viewshed analysis parameters, including the names of the different impact ranges to report on viewshed zones zones are defined by the number of towers visible at each point on the map, split by user defined ranges visual impact penalty configure the penalty associated with visual impact to ensure routes are optimized in relation to their potential for impacting sensitive visual receptors
