CurrENT Europe and Compass Lexecon’s latest study, supported by Breakthrough Energy

Deploying innovative grid technologies can increase transmission and distribution capacity by up to 20-40 %, according to CurrENT Europe and Compass Lexecon’s latest study, supported by Breakthrough Energy

This first of its kind study at a European level underscores the pivotal role that deploying innovative grid technologies can have in helping Europe achieve its decarbonisation goals.

The study examines eight different innovative grid technologies:
· Advanced conductors ➡ HVCRC and Losag conductors
· High temperature Superconductors
· Storage as a transmission asset (SATA)
· Dynamic Line Rating
· Advanced Power Flow Control (APFC)
· Grid inertia measurements
· Digital Twin
· Flexibility management software solutions
