Modernizing power transmission lines for renewable energy integration is a critical global challenge. Key strategies and technologies include:

• High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission: HVDC lines are increasingly being deployed, especially for long-distance transmission from remote renewable energy hubs (like offshore wind farms or large solar deserts). HVDC offers lower transmission losses over long distances and greater control over power flow, making it ideal for integrating intermittent renewable generation.

• Dynamic Line Rating (DLR): Instead of static ratings, DLR systems use real-time weather data (temperature, wind speed) and conductor conditions to dynamically assess the actual capacity of a line. This allows utilities to safely push more power through existing lines when conditions permit, maximizing the utilization of current infrastructure and facilitating more renewable energy transfer without building new lines.

• Grid-Enhancing Technologies (GETs): Beyond DLR, GETs encompass a suite of solutions like advanced power flow controllers (e.g., FACTS devices - Flexible AC Transmission Systems), which can actively manage power flow on AC lines, reduce congestion, and improve grid stability, thereby enabling greater renewable penetration.

• Advanced Conductors: High-Temperature Low-Sag (HTLS) and composite core conductors can carry significantly more power than traditional conductors without exceeding sag limits or requiring extensive structural upgrades. These are crucial for "reconductoring" existing lines to boost capacity for renewables.

• Smart Grid Technologies: Integrating intelligent sensors, automated fault detection and isolation, and advanced communication systems across the transmission network allows for real-time monitoring, rapid response to disturbances, and better management of fluctuating renewable inputs.
