Join us in Anaheim for IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) T&D Conference to discuss the implementation of advanced conductors in your #transmission and #distribution projects in America. 📅 6 - 9 May 2024 📍 Booth 3056 - Anaheim Convention Center, CA, USA   Held just once every two years, this event is sponsored by the IEEE Power & Energy Society -the largest forum in America for sharing the latest technological developments in the electric power industry.   Feel free to schedule a meeting with Matthieu Landais to discuss your projects.   To learn more about our composite core conductors and solutions: www.epsilon-cable.com   #powerlines #powergrid #HTLS #reconductoring #energytransition #IEEE2024

⚡ Interested in advanced conductors for overhead lines ? Let’s connect during Middle East Energy Dubai 📅 April 16-18 📍 Dubai World Trade Center, UAE   Feel free to contact HVCRC® representative Eslam Rabie to schedule a discussion 💬🤝   #powerlines #HTLS #transmission #MiddleEastEnergy2024 #energytransition #sustainability

Did you know that "ACCC" is not a type of #HTLS conductor but just a trade mark, like "HVCRC" or "Aero-Z" ? We often notice this confusion regarding composite core advanced conductors… There are in fact many types of composite HTLS conductors, such as HVCRC®, ACPS and ACPR Lo-Sag, C7®, ACCC® and a few other technologies from various manufacturers. According to CIGRE, they are all classified as “Type-4 HTLS conductors” and described as “conductors consisting of a polymer-matrix (PMC) strength member and an envelope for which the high temperature effects are mitigated by means of annealed aluminium or thermal-resistant aluminium alloy for HTLS applications”.   Most line engineers are very well aware of this, but many power line professionals worldwide have actually been led to the confusion between “#ACCC” and “Type-4 HTLS conductors”. Therefore, when they include the brand name “ACCC” in their technical specifications, they are unknowingly limiting their choice to only 1 technology and composite core supplier and as such, defeating the purpose of the bid itself, which is to have fair competition... #HVCRC #transmission #powerlines #sustainability #energytransition

⚡ Did you know that composite core conductors were invented by W. Brandt Goldsworthy in the 90’s ? M. Goldsworthy passed away on April 3, 2003, and today we wish to pay our tribute to this visionary engineer who paved the way for a new generation of sustainable and efficient conductors. Nicknamed “the father of composites” and one of the inventors of the pultrusion process, M. Goldsworthy could see as early as the 90’s the potential of improving overhead lines thanks to the pultrusion process. He was the first to come up with the idea to replace the traditional steel core in High Voltage cables with a composite core, and in 1998, his team laid out the foundation for the first generation of composite cables. Based on his work, Epsilon Composite developed carbon fiber pultrusion and Epsilon Cable developed composite core conductors such as the HVCRC®. The HVCRC® technology is now widely used by transmission and distributions operators looking for a reliable and durable solution to upgrade overhead lines over the world. ➡ Learn more: www.epsilon-cable.com #highvoltage #composites #pultrusion #hvcrc #epsiloncable #cfrp

¡América Latina: vamos! Last week's batch of HVCRC® composite core reels almost ready to ship across the Atlantic for stranding.

🎥 Beautiful aerial images from our latest HVCRC® reconductoring project in Montenegro, and interesting feedback from Elnos Group site manager Luka Šaranović on this HVCRC® installation in a very difficult rocky landscape. This 110kV line connects the Perućica hydro power plant to the capital city of #Montenegro, Podgorica. The #HVCRC reconductoring will not only extend the life of this solviet-era power line but also double its capacity, while reducing electrical losses and solving sag issues. Congratulations to the team involved, from design to installation 👍 More information: www.epsilon-cable.com CGES - Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem AD , Nexans, Sicame Group, Tesmec - Stringing Equipment #HTLS #energytransition #powerlines

In its latest report, Grid Strategies LLC highlights how "coordination, collaboration, and open information sharing leads to real and concrete benefits for electric customers". With more than 300 transmission assets owners in the USA alone, this is especially critical to face the current challenge of #electrification and #energytransition. The report reviews 29 successful examples of transmission development in the past decades and all across the US, where such collaboration was a critical factor. Great job to the authors Rob Gramlich, Richard Doying, Zachary Zimmerman and to the WIRES team ➡ Download the full report: https://lnkd.in/dEvDcrQD #powerlines #transmission #HTLS

We would like to thank our visitors at Iraq Energy Exhibition and Conference in Bagdad, where we showcased how #HVCRC conductors allow to double the ampacity of transmission or distribution lines, and decrease line losses by 30%.

Another great example of #reconductoring where #HVCRC was the most economical and practical solution to increase the line ampacity. This 110kV line just outside the capital city of Podgorica crosses a very difficult rocky landscape and proved to be quite a challenging installation! Great job by Elnos Group who just completed the first part of the project with the support of HVCRC® installation experts.
