The Invisible Grid Build-out
by Futoshi Tachino Why this is under-the-radar progress Everyone talks about how slow it is to build new transmission lines. Less noticed is how much capacity is being freed — right now — on the wires we already have. Three families of “grid-enhancing technologies” (GETs) are scaling fast: (1) advanced reconductoring with modern high-performance conductors that can double capacity within existing rights-of-way; (2) dynamic and ambient-adjusted line ratings (DLR/AAR) that raise safe operating limits based on real weather, not worst-case assumptions; and (3) power-flow control, topology optimization, and other software tools that route power away from bottlenecks to under-used lines. Together, these are connecting more renewables, cutting curtailment and congestion, and buying precious time while big new lines are planned and built [1–3,13–14].
