Some tremendous conversations at #CEBAโ€™s Spring Summit. Accelerating the #speed of 24/7 #Transmission capacity additions with carbon core #advancedconductor was a focus. A short video I threw together on the flight home to capture some of great work by the the #CTCGlobal team. #energy #ai #grid

#energy #transmission | Theodore Paradise The cost of #energy and ability to move power in peak periods are closely intertwined. These factors not only impact utility bills but also play a significantโ€ฆ

Former northeast electric & gas CEO, Jim Laurito, has an op-ed in the Hartford Courtant from this last weekend. The op-ed highlights the advantages of carbon core over steel: double the capacity, few line losses, low weight and very little sag - all at the same time www.linkedin.com/posts/theodo...

It was called a โ€œpermitting bill,โ€ but really it was a transmission policy bill. Advanced conductors - yes. Interregional planning - yes.
Better regional planning - yes.

Hi Josh. Yes, agree the EMS will be looking at the flows. If there is a drastic action limit on other lines < โฐ than redispatch, then limit. But other lines may pick up additional flows only during STE/LTE periods. More adv conductors up will raise that b/c much higher/longer contingency carry.

What's the problem to solve? If the problem is time and getting new transmission built is a 7-10 yr timeframe, then reconductoring/rebuilding at the same voltage is the solution; substation work is not usually wrapped up in siting issues. 30% efficiency gain is day 1 w/out downstream upgrades.

The algorithm has decided that I like cat content, which as we know is what the internet was originally invented to share, mixed into the energy policy posts. Positive early impression.
