⚡📰 In a recent POWER magazine article covering the ongoing effort to strengthen America’s Electric Power Grid, Andrew Phillips -vice president of T&D Infrastructure at EPRI, reminds how #ACSS and #CompositeCore conductors are complementary, as each technology offers distinct benefits: He points out that with ACSS “you can easily design a new line—you can make the towers a little taller or put the tension a bit higher—you can get over the obstacles. But to go and re-conductor an existing line, that’s not easy.” He also adds that “When reconductoring existing lines to expand capacity, a better option could be installing carbon-core conductors”, since “reconductoring existing lines with carbon-core conductors could allow going to higher temperatures without having to worry about sag constraints” ➡ For more information about #AdvancedConductors please visit: https://lnkd.in/eRkpHuEV ➡ Read the full POWER magazine article by Aaron Larson here: https://lnkd.in/gPS77twq ➡ Feel free to reach out to our team Joseph Sylvia & Matthieu Landais, or to contact our engineering team to discuss your projects: contact@epsilon-cable.com #Powerlines #Transmission #EnergyTransition #Composites #Reconductoring #OHL

⚡📢 The White House confirms that #advancedconductors will play a crucial role in the ongoing efforts to strengthen America’s electric grid and reach its environmental & economic goals: “The Administration is launching an effort to mobilize public and private sector leaders to expand the capacity of the existing U.S. transmission network, setting an ambition to upgrade 100,000 miles of transmission lines over the next five years” “The power sector can achieve this ambition primarily by deploying modern grid technologies like high-performance conductors and dynamic line ratings that enable existing transmission lines to carry more power. As a complement to building new lines, deploying solutions like these offer fast and cost-effective ways to unlock hundreds of gigawatts of additional clean energy, increase system reliability and resilience, reduce grid congestion, and cut energy costs” Alongside the unprecedented $30 billion investment in grid infrastructure, DOE is also issuing a final rule “to create a faster track for completing environmental reviews of upgrades to existing transmission lines, which will increase reliability and lower energy costs. The rule creates a categorical exclusion, the simplest form of review under the National Environmental Policy Act, for projects that use existing transmission rights of way, such as reconductoring projects” ➡ Read the full White House statement: https://lnkd.in/dbKreaPq ➡ More information about composite core #advancedconductors : https://lnkd.in/eRkpHuEV #HTLS #ECRC #GETs #sustainability #energytransition

The FERC's new Grid Expansion Rule is a robust step forward in securing a reliable and future-ready grid. It's impressive to see the comprehensive approach, incorporating long-term planning, stakeholder engagement, and a strong emphasis on state participation. This initiative not only promises enhanced grid reliability but also transparency and efficiency in how we manage and allocate resources for transmission facilities. Excited to see the impact of these reforms on our energy infrastructure! #TransmissionPlanning #FutureThroughElectric #TransmissionLines

DO you realize that Commercial/industrial buildings use 25% of GRID power? Do you know that ENERGY STAR estimates 30% of this power is wasted? What if we could reclaim this wasted power easily so we don't have to provide power that is known to be wasted? There is only one way to achieve this and that is with Transpower MPTS technology hundreds of customers reclaim this power everyday including DOD and GSA

⚡ There is a vast ecosystem of Grid Enhancing Technologies (GET) or Innovative Grid Technologies (IGT) that can foster the strengthening of our powergrids, as highlighted by the last U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Liftoff report. They all bring different benefits - usually more transfer capability, better grid control, flexibility and resilience, and their combined use is key to develop the powergrids of the future. For transmission or distribution utilities, enhancing their grid with Advanced Conductors can yield significant benefits in a short period of time. Thanks to their strong and lightweight composite core, Epsilon Advanced Conductors allow do double the ampacity of an existing line with existing structures, and to reduce line losses by up to 30%. They are also an interesting choice for new lines, where they provide an optimized long term solution in terms of flexibility, efficiency and resilience. Active in multiple technology groups with fellow GETs innovators, Epsilon Cable is part of this journey towards smarter and more efficient electrical grids worldwide.

⚡️⚡️Link below to a very well put together TD World article about Dominion Energy’s process and purpose behind choosing to add Creative Composites Group poles to their grid. A few key excerpts and the link to the full TD article are below give it a read. Contact PACIFIC POWER REPS to learn more about how Creative Composite Poles can help Grid Hardening in your backyard. “Installations across the U.S. have shown composite poles remain standing through weather events, so the staggered configuration can minimize the impact of an outage from a downed wood pole. These resilient poles also support advancements like self-isolating faults and automated edge computing. In fact, Dominion is now advising composite poles be the priority structure to support devices used in smart grid automation, such as reclosers.” “FRP also has a very high strength-to-weight ratio, much lighter than conventional materials but with similar strength and stiffness properties. Dominion was used to setting poles with cranes and needing mag or hammer drills. On its first site installing composite poles, engineers and line workers were able to push them upright with one hand because they were light with a predictable balance point. These uniform characteristics have yielded more precise, faster and simpler installation.” “What has perhaps most impressed the team at Dominion is working with the CCG staff. When Dominion employees visited the company’s facility, they met a group that was willing to share information and detailed engineering data. Dominion employees have been able to work directly with the people making the composite poles. In fact, when the Dominion team visited the manufacturer, CCG took a pole off the line and showed Dominion how to drill it. When Dominion asked about flexural strength, CCG took that pole and did a break test.“ ⚡ ⚡ #ChampionMindset #PeoplePowered #OnAMission #FutureIsBright #BeTheLight #TrustedAdvisor #PacificPowerReps #ManufactureSpotlight

Here's some interesting, potentially great news, potentially bypassing most, if not all of the permitting delay issues needed for new transmission lines. "In many places, upgrading power lines with advanced conductors could nearly double the capacity of existing transmission corridors at less than half the cost of building new lines, researchers found. If utilities began deploying advanced conductors on a nationwide scale — replacing thousands of miles of wires — they could add four times as much transmission capacity by 2035 as they are currently on pace to do." https://lnkd.in/eNCcmKVc
