The rise of powerful quantum computers and AI tools poses significant risks to electrical grid security, making it imperative for utilities to transition to quantum-safe cryptography. A strategic, multi-layered approach involving assessment, deployment...
Focusing on ComEd’s deployment of HTS technology within existing substations, the piece discusses the benefits of superconducting cables, including fault current limiting and enhanced redundancy, while addressing challenges related to cooling systems...
The replacement steel poles are stronger than the existing towers, allowing PGE to use fewer structures along the route. The upgraded powerlines will be capable of carrying nearly twice as much electricity as the existing lines.
Once completed, the transmission line would provide grid operators with an additional pathway to move power between Southcentral Alaska’s population centers and major military installations. The project is expected to improve grid reliability and lower...
