📰 The latest International Energy Agency (IEA) commentary focuses on the challenges generated by grid congestion for #EnergySecurity and #EnergyTransition The IEA highlights how "in addition to accelerating the expansion of grids, the existing grid capacity needs to be used more efficiently" and how composite core conductors and other advanced transmission technologies have a crucial role to play. The IEA also reminds the importance of "anticipatory planning and regulatory reforms to incentivise grid investments" ➡ Read the IEA commentary: https://lnkd.in/dQm2y3Gz #HTLS #GETs #PowerGrid #HVCRC #AdvancedConductors

⚡ Did you know that composite core conductors were invented by W. Brandt Goldsworthy in the 90’s ? M. Goldsworthy passed away on April 3, 2003, and today, we wish to pay our tribute to this visionary engineer who paved the way for a new generation of sustainable and efficient conductors. Nicknamed “the father of composites” and one of the inventors of the pultrusion process, M. Goldsworthy could see as early as the 90’s the potential of improving overhead lines thanks to the pultrusion process. He was the first to come up with the idea to replace the traditional steel core in High Voltage cables with a composite core, and in 1998, his team laid out the foundation for the first generation of composite cables. Epsilon’s founder Stephane Lull and our VP Laurent GUITTON had the opportunity to work with M. Goldsworthy in California in the 90’s. Based on his work, Epsilon Composite pioneered carbon fiber pultrusion and Epsilon Cable developed composite core conductors such as the HVCRC®, which is now widely used by T&D operators worldwide looking for a reliable and durable solution to upgrade overhead lines. ➡ Learn more: www.epsilon-cable.com #highvoltage #composites #pultrusion #HVCRC #EpsilonCable #CFRP #Tribute

HVCRC® LITE - Episode 1: how can a composite core conductor NOT be an HTLS conductor? Over the past two years, Epsilon Cable has developed and patented a new composite core conductor—one that is not a High-Temperature Low-Sag (#HTLS), but a new class in itself. Why is this a breakthrough? If you were to design the perfect material for an overhead conductor core, you’d likely think: ✅ Lightweight ✅ High strength ✅ No thermal expansion ✅ Corrosion resistance ⚠ Minimal cost Composite core conductors like HVCRC® check all these boxes—except the cost. While they offer major benefits (e.g., doubling capacity and reducing losses by 30%), their upfront cost can be a barrier when high temperature/capacity is not required. So why pay for features you don’t need? 🔹 HVCRC® LITE maintains the same low sag, low losses, weight, and thermal expansion as HVCRC® 🔹 It is designed for standard temperatures (typically up to 90°C), and uses standard hard aluminum, just like ACSR conductors 🔹 It offers a 50% lower cost than composite HTLS conductors By cutting conductor costs in half, HVCRC® LITE makes new lines far more cost-effective—whether through the reduction of pylons and foundations or through lower electrical losses. 🔜 In the next episodes, we’ll dive into the savings enabled by HVCRC® Lite.

Estoy orgulloso de formar parte de la primera instalación en Chile con conductor HVCRC® 280-40 (Casablanca / Laredo) de Epsilon Cable que a la fecha ya se encuentra casi finalizado el primer circuito del proyecto de aumento de capacidad de la línea de transmisión Esperanza – Río Aconcagua de 110 Kv, propiedad de Alfa Transmisora de Energía (Celeo Chile) y cuya obra se localiza junto al cerro del Parque Nacional la Campana el cual escaló Charles Darwin el 17 de agosto de 1834, donde el célebre naturalista descubrió nuevas especies de fauna en esa gran fuente de biodiversidad de la región de Valparaíso! Durante la etapa de supervisión de campo, los principales desafíos que enfrentamos fue el fuerte viento predominante en la zona, por lo que los trabajos de lanzamiento de conductor se realizaron generalmente a temprana hora de la mañana. Gracias al excelente equipo de trabajo del EPC Monlux, S.A. y a su contratista de instalación Facu Ingeniería, quien cuenta con amplia experiencia en la instalación de conductores HTLS, hasta el momento han realizado un magnífico trabajo en apego a las recomendaciones y a las pautas de instalación descritas en los manuales, por lo que la ejecución del tendido se ha realizado de forma ágil, gracias también a los accesorios DERVAUX Sicame Group, que son de fácil, segura y rápida configuración mediante método de compresión tradicional, lo cual reduce considerablemente los tiempos de ejecución, por esta razón y por todos los beneficios de la tecnología HVCRC® - HTLS es muy necesaria para el mercado Chileno y para el rápido desarrollo de las energías renovables. 🇨🇱⚡️🚀 #HVCRC #HTLS #EpsilonCable #AdvanceConductors #AdvancedReconductoring #GridModernization #EnergyGrid #PowerGrid #EnergyTransition Visite nuestro sitio web en Español: www.epsilon-cable.com/es

The recent #blackout in Chile reminds us of the important role of #AdvancedConductors to support the energy, transition and the integration of renewables in the power grid. #renconductoring with #HVCRC conductors is one of the fastest and most cost efficient options to improve the capacity of a congested line and increase the grid resilience by adding a large reserve capacity for future peaks. ℹ️ More information: www.epsilon-cable.com

First preview of a HVCRC® #reconductoring in #Chile conducted by Monlux, S.A. on behalf of Alfa Transmisora de Energía (Celeo Chile) in the Valparaíso area. Under a scorching sun and in very windy conditions, the original AAAC Butte conductor was replaced with a #HVCRC Casablanca conductor to increase the transmission capacity. ⚡ #HVCRC composite core by @Epsilon Cable and conductor stranding by CENTELSA by Nexans in Colombia 🛠 Training of installation crews, technical support and installation supervision was provided by HVCRC® expert Sergio Rojas Tesmec - Stringing Equipment and Sicame Group / Dervaux compression fittings were used on this project. ➡ More information: https://lnkd.in/eCtsqsna #HTLS #AdvancedConductors #PowerGrid #EnergyTransition #Efficiency
