September 3, 2010 - Thank you for visiting STRI at CIGRE
STRI participated in CIGRE 2010 in Paris both with several technical papers and contributions for the questions of special reporters and a small exhibition including the STRI IEC61850 interoperability test equipment. Around 150 CIGRE delegates visited STRI exhibition stand to discuss issues on insulation, line design, HVDC, cable testing, EMF, AC/DC conversion, merging units for optical measurement etc. But a very small & smart device created the highest interest among many of our visitors – The Smart Temperature Sensor.

June 17, 2010 - STRI - The Ultra HVDC Specialist
Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) with 800 kV is now being implemented in China and India to efficiently transmit large amounts of energy over long distances from remote hydro power plants. STRI has been involved in the testing of this new technology during the past couple of years both for China and India. This includes testing of basically all components such as bushings and converters as well as a long term test of a complete system during different seasons energized at 850 kV for ABB. Now a number of tests have been performed for the transmission line isolation for the first 800kV UHVDC line in India. Read more...
