| Hivoduct |
2020 ZH Validation |
[ Electricity Grids & Flexibility ] | Components: Geophysical |
| Hivoduct presents pressurized air cables for medium and high voltage power transmission and related services at the booth. Pressurized air cables are a new technology which are based on traditional GIL design but use pressurized air as main insulation medium and a new, proprietary pipe fitting. Hivoduct "pressurized air cables" transmit more power, use less space, exhibit lower electromagnetic fields, offer best fire protection, and highest efficiency in operation. Pressurized air cables replace overhead lines, XLPE cables, GIS busbars, and high-current busbars to create a more sustainable and efficient future power grid. Specific applications as wall bushings as well as HV lab equipment for high-current connections are similarly viable. Hivoduct pressurized air cables benefit system integrators, grid operators, the environment and neighbourhoods. | |||
