3.2. Impact of Retrofit Measures on Energy Demand and Consumption Reduction The final energy demand using the proposed variants of the 10 individual retrofits in terms of percentage energy reduction is summarized in the following sections. In this study, all the scenarios are investigated based on the same ACH for ensuring accurate comparisons.

%. The maximum increase tension under transient ice-off effect is 59.58%, the ultimate force of the tension tower is 545.5 kN, and the maximum icing thickness of the transmission line under large span and large elevation differences is 28.7 cm, which is slightly larger than the design icing thickness. In conclusion, this paper can provide reference for the construction of mountain transmission towers, power safety inspection, and line health status assessment.
