ACSS and HS285 Extend Grid Capacity
There are capacity bottleneck situations, where new overhead transmission line construction is just not a practical reality. In some of these situations overhead lines are in place, they just do not provide the transfer capacity needed. The new "smart grid" requires a "smart tool kit" for the system planner that includes a new class of overhead conductors which dramatically increase capacity yet can be used on the existing physical infrastructure to deliver additional capacity on existing right-of-way and structures.

Superconductor Cable Systems
There are situations, particularly in urban areas, where overhead line construction is just not a practical reality. In some of these situations the conventional underground cable alternatives do not provide the transfer capacity needed. In addition, new interconnections may result in high fault current levels, further complicating the issue. Superconductor cables, also available with fault current management capabilities, are ready to become an integral part of the system planner "tool kit" that is used to solve certain grid bottleneck problems.
