How can electricity transmission losses be reduced?

2025-08-10

Answer: Reducing transmission losses is a critical goal for utility companies worldwide. Key strategies include:

  • Increasing Transmission Voltage: This is the most effective way to reduce resistive losses over long distances.

  • Using High-Quality Conductors: Employing materials like aluminum and copper, and optimizing conductor thickness to reduce resistance.

  • Maintaining and Upgrading Infrastructure: Regularly inspecting and replacing aging or damaged equipment, including power lines, transformers, and substations.

  • Employing HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) Systems: For very long-distance transmission and submarine cables, HVDC technology offers significantly lower losses compared to traditional AC systems.

Ningbo Changshi is at the forefront of providing the tools and equipment necessary for these upgrades, from new line construction to maintenance, helping to build a more resilient and efficient electrical grid.
