The transition to a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply is a challenge for both society and industry. How much electricity the operators can feed into the grid is limited by the sag of the lines. In favorable weather conditions, the conductors can withstand an increase in current load of up to 150 percent. This requires a smart and reliable monitoring of the microclimate around the lines.
Like you, at Clarion Energy North America, we are highly concerned about COVID-19. For now, we have made no changes to the timing of DISTRIBUTECH International since it is set to take place February 9-11, 2021. Last week, we launched our call for abstracts and are accepting them now. In the meantime, we will continue to keep you updated with the latest happenings in the utility industry worldwide via the POWER-GRID.com website and this weekly eNewsletter. We sincerely hope that all of you stay healthy and safe!
