RASCOL – Retrofit Application of Spectrally Selective Coatings to Overhead Lines
This project is centred around the direct application of capacity enhancing coatings to overhead transmission lines, semi-autonomously, in situ. This has the potential to increase the capacity of existing conductors by up to 30% without reconductoring or building new lines, a cost saving we estimate at 95%. AssetCool (a UK based technology company) have developed…

Condition Recognition Wireless Network
CRWN.ai Identifies faulty or degraded transmission line infrastructure by monitoring electrical discharge and using ML and AI. CRWN.ai places smart sensors on poles to record electrical discharge continuously, and uses ML and AI to analyze data findings and identify infrastructure that may need repair or replacement. CRWN.ai can identify issues like arcing, tracking and Corona.…
