Lines and Substations
Today, network utilities are expected to build power transmission lines and
substations with less environmental impact. Compact designs concepts are often desired. The concepts should be optimized regarding environmental and insulation performance. Before actual application in the network, the new design concepts need to be tested and verified in the laboratory.
STRI’s specific services within the area of lines and substations comprise:
- Insulation coordination
- Corona and field effects
- Reliability studies
- Grounding concepts
- Current uprating of lines and station equipment Voltage uprating of lines and substations AC to DC conversion of transmission lines
