How upgrading existing power lines (reconductoring the grid) can have a major impact on increasing the grid's capacity in a short amount of time (and therefore more rapidly aiding electrification and the transition to renewables), via David Robert's Volts podcast, Jason Huang, and Emilia Chojkiewicz. Reconductoring existing transmission and distribution lines with such high performance conductors (that also have the capability of being “smart”) would basically provide greater capacity at a lower total system cost much faster than building new lines. It would also increase the resiliency of the grid (addressing, among other things, sag which will only get worse with increasing global temperatures). Financing options are also available to do this at no cost to the utility, with loss savings used to pay back those fronting the money. I often like to point out how meaningful #climateaction to develop and equitably implement mitigation and adaptation strategies is ultimately a behavioral problem (individual but primarily collective), with technological innovation having a secondary role. But here's a case in point where a technological innovation can be key to addressing a behavioral barrier. Building new transmission and distribution lines takes such a long time because of the multitude of local political/NIMBY hurdles to literally and figuratively clear. While new lines will still need to be built, replacing existing lines with more efficient conductors removes major hurdles to rapidly increasing the capacity of the grid. #transmissionlines #powerlines #electrification #powergrid #carbonfiber #advancedconductors #gridmodernization #climatechangesolutions #behavior #collectiveaction https://lnkd.in/gNC9EbhT

One easy way to boost the grid: upgrade the power lines. ! Nothing is easy, some things are easier than others. For WA to realise the vision outlined in the Energy Policy SWIS Demand Assessment of 50GW of new renewable energy and 4,000km of transmission installed and operational by 2042, all viable options (that rules NPP out) need to be on table. The energy transition is by nature a political process, unfortunately this has meant a lack of honesty, transparency and community engagement thus far. In the interest of democracy and trust in government and institutions, the WA energy transition decision making, plan formulation and funding needs to made more visible to the public. This Podcast from david roberts at Volts with articulate guests Jason Huang and Emilia Chojkiewicz is worth listening to. Reconductoring might also help with climate change resilience! Be interesting for the community to know what Grid Enhancing Technologies and reconductoring that Energy Policy WA, Western Power and Horizon Power have considered, modelled, trialed and put into operation. #energytransition #energypolicy #renewableenergy https://lnkd.in/gcS_m2Wr

What an innovative technology to address the urgent need for energy transmission grid capacity upgrades, and save money in the process.
