Nov 2, 2016 - Hybrid overhead power lines in Switzerland
The «Hybrid overhead power lines in Switzerland» project (NRP 70) implemented by the ETH Zurich and supported by Swissgrid, investigated how the combination of direct and alternating current systems can increase the transfer capacity of existing 380 kV overhead power lines. Besides the technical aspects, the integration into the electricity system and cost-effectiveness, the investigation is also focused on the social acceptance of this technology.
