More wind energy and cheaper electricity possible
Europe’s transmission grid capacity can be used more efficiently, bringing far more power online, the EU-funded TWENTIES project has found. By, measuring power lines’ temperature in real time rather than theoretically, for example, 10% more power can be put on the transmission and distribution grids. Moreover, deploying TWENTIES technologies could reduce power prices in the … Continue reading More wind energy and cheaper electricity possible
