…increasingly excited by an up-cycle in power transmission, associated with the build-out of renewables. To this end, 75% of Prysmian’s business is energy (50% is power-infrastructure, 22% is industrial and…
…the best solution that is going to emerge is in power infrastructure, inter-connecting large areas, with resilient and long-distance transmission lines. Definitions. Our wind analysis defined a “power drop” as…
…alongside the electrolysers, in a trade off with up-front capex, in order to mitigate against degradation. Our roadmap to net zero still sees relatively more potential in large-scale transmission infrastructure,…
…includes our overview of how power grids work, overview of reactive power compensation, long-distance power transmission, transformers and how hot temperatures strain power grids. We think optimization of the power…
…power transmission lines. It is used to make refrigerants, as used in fridges, AC and heat pumps. UF6 is used in upgrading uranium for nuclear fuel. And HF is used…
This is a database of cable installation vessels for offshore wind and power transmission; tabulating costs (in $M), contract awards (in $/km), capacity (in tons), installation speeds (in meters per…
…vehicles, LED lighting, VFDs, CHPs, insulation, methane mitigation. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/03/23/eroei-energy-return-on-energy-invested/ Energetic industries from first principles: the internet, industrial gases, hydrogen, ammonia, steel, battery recycling, trucks, transport, compressors. The new age of electricity from first principles: transmission,…
…estimates, but uncertainty is high. The energy intensity of internet traffic spans across data-centers, transmission networks and local networking equipment. Again, different estimates from different technical papers can vary by…
…data servers in data centers (page 4) and transmission and networking (page 5). It is a minefield. Different studies disagree by five orders of magnitude over the energy intensity of…
…transmission and 10-20% covers other administrative costs of utilities. The CO2 intensity of the global average power grid is 0.45 kg/kWh. Variations are wide. And there is a -35% correlation…
