Nexans Sets a New World Record to Strengthen Norway's Power Grid
Paris La Défense, October 6, 2017 – While the Nordic countries are among the most advanced in terms of clean electricity generation, their consumption of energy per capita is also among the highest in the world due to cold climate and a sparse population distribution. To meet growing electricity demand and accompany increased energy production, BKK Nett AS, one of Norway’s largest power companies, decided to install the Kollsnes-Mongstad power line to strengthen the electrical grid in Western No...
Nexans' New Cable-Laying Vessel to Bring More Clean Energy to the World
Paris La Défense, August 28, 2017 – As global energy demand continues to grow, the need for clean energy is becoming ever more urgent. In the face of growing concerns around climate change, energy transition is now a top priority on the international agenda. Today, not only are nations developing their own renewable energy strategies, but they are also cooperating with other countries with the aim of optimizing their use of resources by building common infrastructure, both on land and offshore....
Per Capita Residential Electricity Sales in the U.S. Have Fallen Since 2010
Following sustained growth through 2010, U.S. residential electricity sales have declined in both absolute and per capita terms. Although changes in the weather are a key driver of year-over-year fluctuations, energy efficiency improvements and economic factors have contributed to the decline in per capita residential electricity sales since 2010. Residential electricity sales per household declined even more than the absolute or per capita declines, decreasing 9% between 2010 and 2016. At th...
PSE Chooses Delair -Tech for Pilot Project to Perform Transmission Line Inspection and Modelling
South Pasadena, California — Delair-Tech announced today that it has performed a series of test acquisitions for Puget Sound Energy (PSE) using LiDAR and photogrammetry sensors to demonstrate the added value of its UAVs for electric line inspections and digitization. The series of flights highlighted the significant advantage Delair-Tech products represent for linear infrastructure applications, even more so under BVLOS scenarios which will allow flying significant portions per given flight....
Global High Voltage Switchgear Market to Approach $16 Billion by 2021, says GlobalData
The global high voltage (HV) switchgear market is set to rise from $11.6 billion in 2016 to just under $16 billion in 2021, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%, according to research and consulting firm GlobalData. The company’s latest report states that in growing economies such as Asia-Pacific (APAC) and the Middle East, the rise in electricity demand is driving the HV switchgear market, with substantial new capacity addition in the generation and transmission sectors....
NERC’s Summer Reliability Assessment Highlights Seasonal Electricity Reliability Issues
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation's (NERC) recent 2017 Summer Reliability Assessment finds that there are enough resources to meet this summer's projected peak electricity demand in all areas of the country. Anticipated reserve margins, the amount of expected unused electri...
Dawn of the Digital Transformer
No matter how good a piece of technology is, there comes a time when it needs to evolve. The creation of the distribution transformer in the early 1880s was a technological marvel. For the first time, it allowed the high voltage flowing through the national grid to be safely and effectively reduced to end-user levels. They were originally built to feed electricity going in one direction and usually were not used at night, giving them time to cool down. “Transformer technology has advanced sig...
