…conductors (e.g., an HVDC), three conductors (3-phase AC) or sometimes (rarely) six conductors where the 3-phase AC is disaggregated to promote transmission efficiency. This makes the ‘length’ of a transmission…
…(in GW), transmission (in miles), distribution (in miles) and electricity sales (in million MWH). We wonder whether there is increasing upside for transmission and distribution as part of the energy…
Electricity transmission matters in the energy transition, integrating dispersed renewables over long distances to reach growing demand centers. This 15-page note argues future transmission needs will favor large HVDCs in…
…market leaders in HVDC, based on 5,500 patents filed over the past decade. A dozen companies stand out, with c$40bn of combined revenues from power transmission projects, equipment and materials….
Can large-scale power transmission smooth renewables’ volatility? To answer this question, this horrible 18MB data-file aggregates 20-years of hour-by-hour solar insolation arriving at four cities in the US (Los Angeles,…
Electricity transmission matters in the energy transition, integrating dispersed renewables over long distances to reach growing demand centers. This 15-page note argues future transmission needs will favor large HVDCs, costing…
…$499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart HVDCs are increasingly important, as we see power transmission capex rising 4x in our roadmap to net zero. HVDC costs and round-trip efficiencies can also…
This data-file aggregates technical parameters of high-voltage power lines, especially the transmission losses of long distance power lines, including some of the largest and highest-voltage UHV AC and HV DC…
…power transmission works is here. Operating data for high voltage transmission cables are here. Leading US transmission and distribution utilities are screened here. Leading companies in HVDCs are here. Offshore…
…required to fund new power transmission infrastructure, before they are allowed to interconnect, usually costing $100-300/kW, but sometimes costing as much as the renewables projects themselves (data here). If there…
