Next Generation Overhead Lines with Carbon Core Conductors: Optimisation of Design Paradigm to meet the Needs of Energy Transition and reduced environmental Footprints
The energy transition and the rapid expansion of renewable energy sources are driving unprecedented demand for grid capacity. Austrian Power Grid (APG) aims to invest €9 billion by 2034 to integrate renewables in its 7,000 km network. Carbon Core Conductors (CCC) are emerging as a solution for expanding grid capacity as important Grid Enhancement Technologies (GETs).
