The Grid has X number of inputs and Y outputs, (some if not all can be both?)
Boosting capacity would seem to me to be most interesting as it pertains to routing.
If San Diego is experiencing an uncommon need for electricity, then paths are routed to increase supply(?). But San Diego probably wont have that many inputs (?) and each of them probably has some max capacity (?).
Ok so you need to route as much power there as can be used.
How would this system make this better?
would it allow the grid operators to route more power over existing lines
if weather permitted? and the opposite if the weather does not permit.
- applied_heat 3y agoI think it means on average they can transmit 30% more current since they know the temperature of the lines for a given load, ambient temp, and air speed. It doesn’t help on a hot day with no wind. The transmission systems I have seen mimic geography - mostly transmitting power from generators to loads such as big cities. It is more of a radial or hub and spoke architecture than a matrix or grid.
