Abstract: This paper presents a computational tool intended to achieves optimal configurations of conductors with capacity of transmission of energy improved. This arrangement is obtained by calculate and minimize of electric fields at ground level of High Surge Impedance Loading transmission lines. This type of transmission line has higher power transmission rates by utilizing optimized configuration for the conductors. In the present work, an enhanced Deep Cut Ellipsoidal Method is applied to find a new optimized configuration for the phase conductors. The Surge Impedance Loading of the suggested configuration is analyzed. The new proposed configuration results in reduced profiles of electric fields and higher power transmission capacity.

Keywords: Ellipsoidal method, HSIL, transmission lines
