Replacing the conductors on existing transmission lines can rapidly increase transmission capacity and “unlock” renewable energy at lower cost than building transmission in new rights-of-way, found a ...
What happens when you build the largest machine in the world, but it’s still not big enough? That’s the situation the North American transmission system, the grid that connects power plants to ...
Restringing existing electric power infrastructure with more powerful lines could double transmission capacity on many long-distance conduction lines while saving money and cutting through ...
Replacing existing transmission lines, known as conductors, with advanced conductors could enable 764 GW of transmission-connected solar by 2035. However, some US utilities are slow to adopt this ...
Advanced reconductoring involves replacing existing power lines with cables made from state-of-the-art materials, significantly increasing the grid's capacity. The technique is faster, cheaper, and ...
