Free webinars sponsored by URMC discussing a key transmission rating issue
Transmission line capacity has become a sensitive issue for utilities dealing with renewable energy providers seeking a route to the marketplace for their electrons. It is also a sensitive issue for the Independent Power Producers (IPP) because the IPP need to leverage transmission lines near their current or proposed facilities. The transmission rating issue becomes clear after the utilities perform computer simulations of maximum available capacity and often inform the IPP that there is no available capacity.
This webinar will explore Thermal Direct data, application to line ratings, the impact, and value that precisely measure conductor temperatures provides, which may enable both sides to achieve their mission simultaneously. In addition, there will be a discussion of the promised results from the completed Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) testing. The webinar will include a question and answer segment for participants.

Sparks Electric doesn’t work on utility power lines between the utility poles, we do work on the power lines on and in the consumer’s building or home. Power lines provide all of the power that we enjoy. With the recent storm damaged power lines and lightning and surge damaged wiring in homes and business, the people with the storm damage come to a refreshed realization just how critical and fragile our electrical systems are.
It is estimated that 2% of the population own a generator. Most of those are portable generators between 1,500 watts to 12,000 watts. There are various levels and ways to utilize the generator for your home and business. The very cheapest way is to have a portable generator and use extension cords. A step better is to have a qualified electrical contractor install a power inlet receptacle, or power inlet outlet, on the outside of the home or business and a transfer switch inside the home. The electrician needs to install this, this is definitely not a home owner or handy man type of job. This method is a manual system. A homeowner or small business owner need to physical roll out the generator, plug in the power cord from the generator to the power inlet receptacle, walk down to the basement with your flashlight or candle if needed since you have no power, and flip the transfer switch from utility power to backup generator power.
The ideal generator and transfer switch to own is an automatic system. I will talk about that next time since I’m running out of time and space. Thanks for reading our Sparks Electric Blog.
