This increase in the thermal resistance of the plastic insulation allows for raising the transfer power from 2 GW to 2.5 GW without needing to modify the existing physical infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Capacity of Submarine Cable Systems<\/h2>\n\n<p>Fortunately, this technical improvement does not require increasing voltage or altering the size of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/nkt-to-connect-bornholm-to-zealand-via-subsea-hvdc-system\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/noticias\/nkt-conectara-un-sistema-hvdc-submarino\/\">converter platforms<\/a><\/strong>. The ability to integrate this technology into operational networks becomes an immediate competitive advantage for network operators. <\/p>\n\n<p>By allowing a greater flow of electricity through the same conduit, resources are optimized in complex projects such as the <strong>hybrid interconnectors<\/strong> in the North Sea. Likewise, operational efficiency translates into smarter management of offshore wind energy. <\/p>\n\n<p>Ra\u00fal Gil, who heads the <em>Transmission division at Prysmian<\/em>, mentions that this progress aims to make <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/?p=299603\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"299537\">electrical projects<\/a><\/strong> more affordable assets. The main objective is greater transport capacity with the same investment in materials, which reduces the unit cost of energy. <\/p>\n\n<p>This saving should eventually be reflected in the monthly expenses of end-users and household bills. The executive emphasizes that these are not temporary measures, but a robust technical solution for global energy security. <\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, Srinivas Siripurapu, head of the Innovation Department at the firm, points out that we are facing a new global standard. The ability to supply up to 2.5 million homes with a single link underscores the magnitude of this optimization. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prysmian.com\/en\/media\/press-releases\/prysmian-takes-the-next-step-for-increased-power-in-affordable-submarine-cables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prysmian<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through this technology, the integration of direct current networks becomes more efficient and simpler. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":341524,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13048],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-341553","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-maritime"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/341553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=341553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/341553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341524"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=341553"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=341553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
