Grid Hardening
Overhead Transmission Lines
Overhead transmission lines are complementary to underground cable systems.
Enhanced transmission efficiency, safety and sustainability is key to accelerate modernization and expansion of energy grids and facilitate the transition to clean energy sources.
Prysmian Group’s E3X Robot System is a new breakthrough solution that increases energy transmission capacity on in-service overhead power lines.
By applying a patented heat dissipating E3X Technology coating on power lines, this robotic application provides utilities with an incremental capacity increase to existing lines without infrastructure changes.
- Up to 30% reduced operating temperature with up to 25% lower line loss
- Up to 25% increased capacity with up to 20% reduced project costs
