Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Modern transmission line projects face several challenges with different priorities than projects in the past. There is now more emphasis on reducing environmental impacts, producing aesthetically ...

In many systems, transmission lines drive reactive (mostly capacitive) loads. To preserve signal integrity, you should properly terminate the lines. However, the input impedance of CMOS logic ICs, for ...

This story was produced by Grist and co-published with Verite News. When a winter storm knocked out Texas’ power grid in 2021, the scale of the devastation it wrought was exacerbated by a singular ...

Building transmission lines in the U.S. is like herding cats. All of the stakeholders in the construction of a new line — utility companies, regulators, landowners — have to come to an agreement, and ...

Over the next decade, Oregon’s need for clean energy is expected to grow exponentially thanks to rising demand for electricity from data centers, heat pumps, electric cars and state climate mandates.
