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…
