Electrical conductors play a fundamental role in the transmission of
electrical energy worldwide.:
- Efficient Transmission : Overhead conductors allow the flow of electrical current between different points. They are essential to transport electricity from generating plants to final consumers.
- Safety and Reliability : Overhead conductors must meet
certain characteristics to guarantee
efficient and safe transmission . Its design and proper maintenance are
crucial to avoid energy losses and prevent accidents.
- Emissions Reduction : Electric transportation is responsible for a
significant portion of greenhouse gas
emissions . Using efficient conductors helps reduce these emissions by
transmitting energy more effectively.
- Contribution to Decarbonization : In a world with rapid adoption of
electric vehicles, sustainable drivers may be necessary to achieve transportation GHG reduction goals . Even in a scenario with
high adoption of electric vehicles, sustainable fuels will continue to be
important for decarbonization
