HV cables technology
Registration and more informations here>
HV cables play a key role in our society by enabling high-power energy transmission through dense areas where overhead lines (OHL) are too restricted in available space. They are also important to connect grid node power subsystems and can provide additional energy transport options when bundled with other infrastructures such as traffic tunnels, gas and water pipes and so on. Experts already study and pilot further architectures, such as superconductors or pressurized air cables.
Have you ever wondered how HV Cables are made?
We take you to a factory visit in a Swiss production site that fabricates cables for more than 146 years, discuss these and further innovation topics (review CIGRE power grid symposium this May in Trondheim and probably also some latest photovoltaic update on superlight PV panels).
