upgrade

The goals of grid operators are best served by a reliable network. Transmission line reliability, however, is adversely affected by extreme environment load such as wind, ice, lighting etc. Upgrade of existing line is performed to improve transmission line reliability. It is done by improving structural performance i.e. tower strength, foundation strength and/or by improving electrical performance ie. insulation strength, earthing system improvement etc.

our solution

6x to 12x increase in the throughput is achieved via voltage upgradation through high performance and special conductors on existing power lines in the same corridor. Monopoles and narrow base towers are also used to reduce footprint and lateral tolerances.

Outcome

Reduction in footprint
Decrease in transmission losses
