Pressurized Air Cables – a new technology for efficient electric energy transmission»
This presentation introduces Hivoduct’s “pressurized air cable” technology, a groundbreaking solution for efficient, safe, and sustainable energy transmission. Using pressurized air instead of harmful PFAS gases, the system ensures minimal energy losses, high environmental safety, and easy integration into existing infrastructure. Ideal for medium to high-voltage applications (12–420 kV), it suits both urban and rural environments without requiring extensive excavation. Capable of transmitting up to 1600 MW at 245 kV, these cables outperform conventional overhead lines in efficiency and reliability, making them a future-proof alternative for modern power grids.
