What is the phenomenon that the OPGW optical cable is broken by lightning?
The damage phenomenon of OPGW optical cable after lightning strike is similar to the damage phenomenon of overhead ground wire after lightning strike. At present, it is found that most of the broken strands of OPGW optical cables are outer aluminum alloy stranded wires, and there are also a few cases of broken strands of aluminum-clad steel wires caused by lightning strikes. There are two main ...

How to choose the cross-sectional area of the power cable
The choice of the cross-sectional area of the power cable is related to the investment, the loss and voltage quality of the line, and the service life of the cable. If the cross-sectional area of the power cable is too small, the voltage quality will drop, the line loss will be too large, and the initial investment will be too high. Therefore, the appropriate cross-sectional area should be ...

Net-zero path 2050 and the role of energy storage
Summary Present climate pledges, even if fully achieved, would fall short to give the world a chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. Therefore, the world needs to commit on a viable and actionable path to achieve Net-Zero by 2050. While renewables and energy storage are the backbone of the energy transition to achieve Net-Zero by 2050 in the power sector …, the ...

Flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
The essence of combined heat and power technology, over recent decades, is to provide continuous supplies of electricity and heat. This is done at the highest levels of fuel efficiency – typically reaching around 90% – meaning that this has lower carbon emissions than grid-supplied electricity. Historically thermal power plants supplying the grid rarely had heat recovery. Compared to ...
