- Use higher voltage: Increasing the voltage reduces the current and therefore reduces the transmission losses.
- Use better insulation: Good insulation reduces losses due to leakage current.
- Use better conductors: Using conductors with lower resistivity reduces transmission losses.
- Use better transmission line design: Using lines with lower series resistance and better mutual coupling reduces losses.
- Reduce the length of transmission line: The shorter the line, the less power lost in transmission.
- Use shunt capacitors/reactors: These are used to reduce the reactive power flows in the line and thereby reduce transmission losses.
- Improve system maintenance: Regular maintenance reduces power losses in the transmission line.
