Integrated Engineering Software
Simulation of communication cables running below High Voltage Power Transmission Lines
Distance from a power transmitting tower to the next one is usually about 200 to 300 meters, while its height is 20-25 meters. The diameter of the power transmission lines used in the high voltage transmission is about one inch, which is very thin when comparing to the size of the transmitting tower and the distance between the towers. In places where tough terrine conditions exist, the communication lines are laid about two meters below the power lines for maximizing the use of the infrastructure built for the power transmission. It is important to know the electric fields due to the high voltage transmission along the communication cables for achieving reliable communication. This kind of big open region problems can only be solved using Boundary Element Method (BEM). In this webinar we will demonstrate how this open region problem is handled by our 3D Electric Field solver COULOMB which is based on BEM formulation.

Hexion Inc.
"Guarding the Grid:" Hexion's ArmorBuilt Wildfire Shield is a Proven Solution for Utility Pole Protection
This presentation will discuss a new technology designed to protect utility poles from wildfire. ArmorBuilt wildfire shield promotes a long-lasting and sustainably sourced power infrastructure. By protecting critical infrastructure, ArmorBuilt helps reduce the risk of fire spreading - and the potential loss of life.
This technology has been applied to over 100,000 poles in western North America. It is a cost-effective, durable safeguard that is designed with the line worker's safety in mind. It is safe and easy to apply, climb, cut and repair. It does not require special handling or installation practices - saving time in the field.
