Answer: Minimizing energy loss is a key priority for utility companies and grid operators worldwide. Several strategies and technologies are employed, many of which require the specialized tools and equipment that Ningbo Changshi manufactures.

Key solutions include:

• High-Voltage Transmission: The most effective method is to transmit electricity at very high voltages (e.g., 110 kV and above) to reduce the current and, consequently, resistive losses.

• Upgrading Conductor Materials and Design: Using larger-diameter conductors made from high-quality, low-resistance materials like aluminum alloys can significantly reduce I²R losses. Our overhead transmission line equipment is designed to handle the installation and maintenance of these advanced conductor types.

• HVDC (High-Voltage Direct Current) Transmission: For extremely long distances or underwater cables, HVDC technology is often preferred over AC as it eliminates inductive and capacitive losses and is more efficient.

• Maintaining and Modernizing Infrastructure: Regular maintenance and the use of modern, high-efficiency transformers and substation equipment are crucial. The tools we provide are essential for the safe and efficient construction and maintenance of these vital components.

• Smart Grid Technologies: Implementing smart grid systems allows for real-time monitoring of energy flow, enabling load balancing and quicker identification of issues that cause losses.

By investing in and utilizing the right equipment, such as the comprehensive range of tools and machinery we manufacture for both OHTL and underground cable projects, companies can significantly improve their grid efficiency, reduce operational costs, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
