More efficient electricity distribution thanks to new insulation material
High-voltage direct current cables which can efficiently transport electricity over long distances play a vital role in our electricity supply. Optimising their performance is therefore an important challenge. With that aim in mind, scientists from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, present a new insulation material up to three times less conductive, offering significant improvements to the properties and performance of such cables.If we are to transition to a world powered by renewable energy, efficient long-distance transport of electricity is essential, since the supply –
