TS Conductor

“Electricity is the primary challenge. On the grid, we have companies like TS Conductor that can just change the wires and run twice as much electricity through them. I was kind of amazed you really can do that,” said Bill Gates to Bloomberg Green. We can #reconductor the existing grid to double or even triple line capacity using the existing infrastructure and rights-of-way. For new build projects, major CAPEX savings can also be realized, since projects can be designed with fewer and shorter towers for these low-sag conductors. https://lnkd.in/gemb9Jmw #TxInfrastructure #Grid #Electrification

The historic Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order 1920 will remain top of mind for years ahead as transmission planning takes modern form. Review the key details in this fact sheet from RMI: https://lnkd.in/gnfqvkcH

Thank you to all of the hardworking lineworkers who keep our electric grid operating safely day in and day out! #LineworkerAppreciation

Why does Bill Gates confidently bet on TS Conductor ? “The surest bets, Gates said, are the companies that find ways to make existing systems more efficient. ‘They are, in a sense, just making a better product.’” That’s exactly what we’re doing for the electricity grid with the high-performance, high-ampacity TS Conductor. As stated in the article, TS Conductor “...makes a power cable that weighs less and carries more electricity than conventional wires. That lets utilities add power to congested grids without building new transmission lines.” We’re proud to have the backing of Breakthrough Energy and Bill Gates on this mission to deliver electricity better.

Bill Gates cited TS Conductor as an "early win" among his many clean technology investments in today's The Wall Street Journal. I'm a long-time admirer of Bill for his efforts to eradicate polio, among other things, and it feels good to be part of a company that he is investing in and vocally supporting.

TS's aluminum-encapsulated carbon core (AECC) conductors unleash huge performance benefits for #transmission systems by eliminating the weight and sagging penalty of steel and maximizing use of conductive aluminum. Our R&D engineers are also pushing boundaries at the forefront of #conductor innovation. We're exploring how carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could bring even more conductivity to the entire conductor package. https://lnkd.in/gUdhxzyX

Our energy grid is expected to see skyrocketing load demand, with data center power demand in the US alone on track to double from 2022 levels by 2030 (McKinsey). Meeting this demand with clean power and existing infrastructure will become increasingly difficult. Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are hardware and software solutions that are deployed within existing transmission systems to help increase capacity, flexibility, and efficiency of power transfer. These GETs technologies have the potential of addressing the over $21B in estimated annual congestion cost for consumers. Powerhouse has mapped the GETs landscape in order to provide visibility to the different focus areas and highlight the major players in the field.

More generation capacity is stuck in interconnection queues than the total capacity online, and most of those resources are renewables and batteries. The need for transmission infrastructure that adequately and reliably delivers that capacity is overwhelming. Reconductoring with TS Conductor can increase the transmission capacity of existing lines by double or even triple, in a fraction of the time, for a fraction of the cost compared to building a new line. #Energy #Electricity #Grid https://lnkd.in/gsf3W_ws

Have you heard of REFA? Berkeley Lab and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) teamed up to create a tool for the economic and financial assessment of reconductoring projects. This tool supports regional grid transmission planning in the era of FERC 1920, moving the needle on grid modernization. Check out the fact sheet below. #AdvancedConductors #Reconductoring
