TS Conductor

Utilities face many challenges in trying to support the electrification of everything, respond to growing energy demand, and keep up with a changing regulatory environment, all while delivering reliable sources of electricity to their customers at reasonable rates. Transmission capacity desperately needs to expand, particularly to deliver new sources of renewable generation. Integrating those sources is even more difficult with grid congestion. With FERC order 1920, utilities and transmission planners are now tasked with planning on a 20-year horizon, but demand growth is far from predictable right now. Stay ahead of the evolving environment by planning to use the highest-capacity conductor technology on the market. TS Conductor’s AECC technology delivers 200-300% more ampacity, making reconductoring the best option for increasing capacity in the near term and cost-effectively. Utilities can also save on structure costs for new builds because of the minimal sag achieved with AECC conductors. https://lnkd.in/gCPkp2Xw

Our supporters at National Grid Partners have a rigorous type registration process to participate in project bidding across the National Grid Electric Transmission network. After testing the AECC conductor’s conductivity, strength, and tensility, they also visited our Southern California facility to learn more about the TS Conductor manufacturing process and our dedication to using the best materials available. Here’s what they had to say about our product: “The lightweight design means electrical cables can be suspended across greater distances without sagging, enabling utilities to construct shorter transmission towers and space them farther apart. That not only saves utility customers money, but it also reduces the impact of new towers on local communities and the environment.” Read more in the case study: https://lnkd.in/g3dnFvyV

Have you read the new paper from MIT - Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research? “Increased use of advanced transmission technologies (ATTs) can play a major role in meeting this demand growth quickly and cost-effectively.” Read more below.

Innovation is everywhere, but the electricity grid is behind, using mostly technology dating back 100 years. With our advanced AECC conductor technology, the grid can deliver more electricity, more reliably. While delivering our state-of-the-art AECC conductors, we are continuing to innovate so that the grid can live up to the needs of evolving energy systems. Our smart conductor, which debuted at National Grid’s Innovation Day in London, is being developed to allow for better insights, increased efficiency, and ultimately, a better experience for utilities and their customers.

A new CA law, SB 1006, directs the state to implement #reconductoring and grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) on the grid, marking a positive step for relieving congestion and enhancing performance and reliability. Reconductoring with TS Conductor’s AECC technology can deliver as much as 3x the power of traditional ACSR conductors, helping to relieve California’s curtailment problem. We are excited to see how SB 1006 improves the efficiency, cost, performance, and capacity of the electricity grid. https://lnkd.in/gRbXRcbX

TS Conductor , one of National Grid Partners portfolio companies, recently completed the rigorous type registration process required for vendors to bid on National Grid's transmission projects in the UK. The lightweight design means HV cables can be suspended across greater distances without sagging, reducing the number of pylons required, reducing the cost and time to build new lines, and reducing the impact on our communities and the environment. #NationalGridInnovates https://lnkd.in/e4ntpDbg

Last month, Raquel Montanez reached two years with TS Conductor! Congratulations, and thank you! TS Conductor depends on our hardworking, passionate employees to keep production running and our customers satisfied. We are grateful for your dedication to the team and your commitment to safety and excellence day in and day out. Thanks for being a part of the #TSTeam!

A lack of transmission capacity is costing billions of dollars annually according to a recent study published in the National Bureau of Economic Research. https://lnkd.in/eMb66RmZ #TxCapacity #Transmission #Grid
