Grid-Enhancing Technologies

Maximizing T&D and substation technology to boost today's power grid
 
PG&E deploys its first of many stand-alone remote grids, integrating solar, battery storage and generation.
The station includes a bundle of meteorologic equipment, bidirectional cameras and multiple sensors to keep a close watch on transmission and distribution lines.
The project, expected to be completed in 2026, will generate up to 100 new jobs and address the rising demand for transformers to support Europe's clean energy transition.
Electrical equipment is upgraded in three substations in Westmoreland County, one substation in Clarion County and one substation in Washington County.

Since the plan's inception, the lab has restored many high-voltage services, including lightning impulse (up to 1,400 kV), switching impulse (up to 900 kV), dry and wet power frequency withstand tests, induced voltage test.
The research study will develop a prototype to help the power industry save money and avoid outages and failures.
