Electric Pipeline Corporation has invented and is developing polymer insulated electric pipelines "elpipes" for transmission of 3-30 GW through a pair of underground HVDC lines. Elpipes fit inside a pipeline that is similar to a gas pipeline, or they may be installed at the surface on conventional or narrow gauge railroad tracks. The train like features of elpipes make them convenient to install and convenient to repair.
Asian HVDC Supergrid Enabled by Elpipes and Ballistic Breakers, presented at i-Grid 2012
I gave my presentation today at iGrid 2012, an ambitious conference in Shanxi Province (Taiyuan). It was an odd conference in an inconvenient place, yet I made several very important contacts while there.
