I wrote this paper holed up in my sister Cheryl's "in law apartment" in Eugene, OR. I got in trouble with my other brother and sister for not visiting them while I was out west, but I became obsessed with creating a strong scientific paper that compactly explains elpipes. I actually wrote this ICHVE paper before the one I presented a few weeks before it to the IEEE Energy Conference in Waltham (2010 IEEE Conference on Innovative Technologies for an Efficient and Reliable Electricity Supply).
It is 100% my writing, but Ron Todd is my co-author because he did calculations and created figures for this paper.
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.
