Securing energy capacity for growing computer data needs
As the need for digital data storage and processing is growing at high speed, large data centres are securing the needed energy capacity to operate systems reliably for years to come. In Belgium, TSO Elia was required to increase the overhead line capacity by a reconductoring project in order to address Crystal Computing’s data centre […]
Alleviating Dhaka’s traffic congestion
Home to around 15 million people, Dhaka is not only the largest city in Bangladesh but also one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the world. So it should come as no surprise that it also has some of the world’s worst traffic congestion. Launched in 2016, the Dhaka Metro Rail project […]
Supporting Spain’s Navarre region in reaching its renewable energy goals
Naturgy Energy Group S.A. (formerly Gas Natural Fenosa), one of Spain’s largest distribution system operators, has completed yet another step in its plans to increase renewable energy generation in the region of Navarre in the northern part of Spain. To accommodate the anticipated >122 MW output of two new windfarms, the company recently finished the […]
Connecting the Netherlands with a sustainable future
As a first step in the wider reconductoring initiative dubbed “Beter Benutten Bestaande 380kV net” (Making Better Use of the Existing 380kV grid), transmission system operator TenneT chose Lamifil’s industry-leading ACCC® Conductor to replace its Lelystad-Ens line. This is the first time next-generation HTLS (High Temperature Low Sag) conductors will be used on a 380kV […]
A sustainable, future-proof solution for Delhi’s new metro network
With the electrification and expansion of Delhi’s Metro network in full swing, both the general contractor Siemens and their client, the Delhi Metro Rail Company were in need of a reliable, future-proof and environmentally-friendly solution for its overhead contact and catenary wires. The solution came in the form of high-quality conductoring employing advanced alloys developed […]
Managing summer peak demand fluctuations in Croatia
With peak loads in the summer tourist season nearly double those of the off-season, Croatia’s distribution system operator HEP – ODS d.o.o., Elektrodalmacija Split faces significant challenges to safeguard network security and satisfy the necessary n-1 criteria. Renowned for their superior performance, efficiency and versatility, Lamifil’s industry-leading ACCC conductors were chosen to increase the capacity […]
Helping Serbia reach its renewable energy targets
Given that the majority of the line connecting Serbia’s Košava with Alibunar dates back to 1966, it comes as little surprise that it was no longer up to the task of distributing the power generated by the latter’s new 42MW wind farm. In choosing Lamifil’s state-of-the-art ACCC Helsinki conductor for the reconductoring project, Elektromreža Srbije […]
Preparing RTE’s Avelin-Gavrelle overhead system for power transmission growth
Lamifil has made a successful bid to supply critical components for the upgrade of RTE’s Avelin-Gavrelle power line in northern France. First commissioned in 1963, the existing line is at the limit of its power transmission capacity, leaving the region potentially vulnerable to blackouts. To meet the needs of the line for many years to […]
