Baltimore Utility Sidelines Underground Transmission Line Project

Action on the project follows community upset over the cost of four 115 kV underground lines and expanded substation rising to #407 million, and possibly higher.

Award of Merit, Power/Industrial: 275-KV Transmission Line from PMU New Prai to PMU the Light

To connect a power plant to a substation on Penang Island, the contractors delivering this project needed to build a transmission line that would cross the Penang Strait, pitting the project team against high winds, tides and complex geologies.

NY Regulator Nixes State Agency Bid to Speed $5B Transmission Line Build

Public Service Commission won't allow state to fast-track proposed 175-mile Clean Path power transmission line to move wind and solar power from upstate to New York City, claiming it is not needed for at least a decade.

Engineering with Rosie - Electricity Across Oceans: Is HVDC the Future? 11072023

How can we connect power grids across long distances or across seas and oceans? The answer is high voltage direct current, or HVDC, interconnectors. In this video Rosie explains how these differ to regular AC, alternating current transmission, the recent technology advances that are causing HVDC interconnectors to start popping up all over the place, and what challenges remain to be solved if we are going to connect places as far flung as Europe and North America.

DW Planet A - Is offshore wind the energy of the future, 24092021

Offshore wind farms solve one of renewable energy’s biggest problems: unreliability. With wind almost always blowing on sea, there is no lack of power. But the technology is struggling with a bunch of other hurdles.

Tom Scott - Power, Politics and Pragmatism: The British National Grid, 15022016

Back in the 1920s, electricity was generated by hundreds of small companies in towns and cities across the country. They were all different and mostly incompatible: London alone had 24 voltages and 10 frequencies. How did we get from there to the billion-pound tunnel projects of today?

Practical Engineering - How do Substations work?

This video explains the purpose of Substations as linkages that play a critical role in controlling and protecting the Power Grid. It 'untangles' the various equipment you might see in an Electrical Substation
