Need to maximize cable pulling distances, reduce splices, and prevent damage to cables during installation? Join American Polywater Corporation, an industry leader in underground cable placement, termination and asset system hardening products to learn how.
This presentation highlights electrical contractors and undergrounding projects in California and Texas. Project specifications, equipment selection, and jobsite challenges will be discussed in relation to production rates and installation efficiency. In addition, this presentation explores job site considerations related to pulling electrical conductor including calculating pull force, traffic safety, communications, and logistics.
Unveiling the invisible force shaping New York’s energy future: discover the groundbreaking Champlain Hudson Power Express®, silently empowering the state with clean, renewable energy to meet ambitious climate targets.
Breaking through the barrier of traditional, slow, and costly boring tech, EarthGrid deploys patented plasma technology to tunnel and excavate at a fraction of the cost and time. Their aim is to replace our outdated, vulnerable infrastructure with a grid that is resilient, efficient, and future-proof. Sponsored by EarthGrid and PDi2.
Learn about Georgia Power’s strategy for selecting the internal and external resources to execute the challenging scope and schedule of the Grid Investment Program. Explore how Georgia Power measures the success of each aspect of this complex program. Finally, allow Georgia Power to share their roadmap for the future for customers and the communities they serve.
San Diego experienced massive flooding in January in what some called the 1000 year flood event. It was a High Impact, Low Probability (HILP) event that helps to define what resilience means in the electric utility industry. How did the massive flooding impact San Diego Gas & Electric’s customers especially those with underground services?
The ever-evolving energy landscape that includes widespread electrification, changing customer needs and a need to weatherize existing assets on the power grid calls for proactive investment across all grid components.
Massive electrification and the coming DER integration demands of FERC 2222 require a stronger, more robust, reliable, and resilient electric grid. Not your grandparents’ grid that was designed in the 1950s and 60s. So, why are you still using decades-old standards and specifications?
Monitoring underground distribution feeders with line sensors is a proven way to improve reliability metrics such as outage duration. In addition, there are significant O&M cost savings to consider.
EarthGrid is developing a patented plasma drill that will significantly change how underground electric T&D systems are planned, designed and constructed.
Once papers are signed, life is given to a project. From there, the process from engineering to construction is a long road; often the two are viewed as separate paths, but coordination and communication throughout them is key to a project’s success.
Utility companies are challenged with the ever-present need for continuous preparation and response requirements to high-impact and low-probability events, mostly weather-related. Historically, these events have increased for the past fifteen years. Specific to the past five years, there has been a sharp increase, and 2020 was a record events/costly year.
Strategic undergrounding offers a solution for increased reliability and resiliency of transmission and distribution systems. This webinar discusses insulation materials from Borealis with proven in-service track records to enable reliable solutions for applications of distribution and transmission voltages through 500 kV, as well as offshore wind generation and HVDC transmission.
