“Anhui Electricity Eastward Transmitting” project is the first 1 000 kV double-circuit UHV AC power transmission line adopting the design of steel tube tower in China, which has entered the stage of tower assembling and erecting. With the proceeding of UHV AC projects such as Huainan-Nanjing-Shanghai Project, Northern Zhejiang-Fuzhou Project and Ya’an-Wuhan Project, the design experience of steel tube tower in ’Anhui Electricity Eastward Transmitting’ project has great significance to the design work of future UHV AC projects. The achievements of standardized design in the power transmission project are summarized, the feedback on steel tube tower from construction and processing companies is collected and sorted out; as well as necessary improvements in future tower design are porposed. Finally, the typical node design plans for steel tube tower are concluded and the proper sizes of node configuration are suggested for the references to future UHV projects.
