Exploring the most appropriate materials and methods for ex-panding the use of wood poles in electricity distribution networks
Main Article Content
Abstract
Considering the increasing demand for electricity in Turkey, electricity distribution companies in Turkey have been using concrete and iron poles in recent years due to operational problems, and this situation also increases the investment costs. In this study, the cycle of wooden poles from the manufacturing stage to their destruction has been examined, and suggestions for tree pole processes have been given, to develop and spread the applications of wooden poles in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, worldwide applications were examined by conducting a literature search, and then the best tree pole applications for Turkey were determined by determining the differences between them and the applications in Turkey. With the suggestions to be made, it is foreseen that the use of tree poles will become widespread in the new overhead line networks by increasing the service period of the tree poles and reviewing the processes.
