Upgrading Electricity Grids

The theme for today’s meeting is Upgrading Electricity Grids.

The Electricity Grid for the future will have to cope with more electricity throughput and more intermittency as well as more generating units for the supply side.

We’ll watch and discuss 2 videos on this subject.

One video shows a new, quick way to double transmission capacity at relative low cost and no hold-ups because of planning permissions. The clue is reconductoring!

The other video considers how a grid can be 100% driven by intermittent, renewable energy sources.

If someone wants to pose a question to the group we’ll have some time for that too.

As always, we look forward to a lively meeting!
