Electricity Transmission Infrastructure

Market Drivers and Barriers, Emerging Technologies, Key Industry Players, and Worldwide Growth Forecasts

After years of neglect, high-voltage transmission systems all over the world are getting much-needed attention. Driven by policy initiatives and a renewed industry focus, significant capital investments are being made to expand and extend transmission grids. Thousands of miles of new transmission lines are being built and existing systems are being retrofitted to add new capacity and greater monitoring capabilities.

Many different forces are driving these developments. In some countries, burgeoning populations and thriving economies are creating increases in electricity demand. Even where demand is relatively flat, renewable energy and the smart grid have created the need for increased transmission capacity and the increased use of phasor measurement units (PMUs), Wide Area Monitoring Systems, and transmission automation. In North America, Europe, and many other regions, cross-border transmission projects are being developed to relieve power shortages and to feed competitive electricity markets. In all of these areas, technological advancements such as High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and high-temperature superconductors are increasingly being utilized for specialized transmission applications.
