Innovation Grid

Purpose: Reactive compensation in extra-high voltage systems.

Objectives

Maximizing the system's transmission capacity, allowing greater use of the system's current configuration, and minimizing the resources allocated to its future expansion.

Key Results

  • Technical: Saturated reactor for reactive compensation of transmission lines
  • Strategic: Re-capacitation of power transmission lines
  • Economic: Increased transmission line capacity at a lower investment cost
