But building those new transmission lines will take time, and billions of dollars. That's where the laser sensors come in, says Marmillo, co-founder of LineVision, the company that makes them.

Australia’s main grid has 40,000 km of transmission lines. Building another 10,000 km quickly is proving hard.

The Illinois-Indiana-Michigan transmission line has an estimated cost of $261 million, according to Midcontinent Independent System Operator — MISO, the grid operator that will oversee the project.

GETs put the goal of upgrading 100,000 miles of transmission lines in five years within reach – it’s high time that utilities and system operators embrace Dynamic Line Ratings, Advanced Power ...

MISO planned the new lines in response to profound, ongoing changes in energy in the region as sources of power increasingly shift from natural gas and coal to renewable energy and energy storage ...

The report’s authors also mapped out 200,000 miles of existing and planned transmission across the U.S., and compared those power-line corridors with high-priority bird areas.

Hydro-Québec’s 500 km of transmission lines that connect to its 1,550-MW Romaine hydroelectric complex is nearing completion. The project, designed for 315-kV and 735-kV but operated at 315-kV, faced ...

The researchers simulated both wind-related storm damage – such as gusts damaging towers or taking down tree branches that fall onto transmission lines – and the resulting cascade of power ...
