The report by SRF Schweiz aktuell examines the challenges facing the expansion of Switzerland's power grid and the ongoing debate about future transmission solutions. Hivoduct and its Pressurized Air Cable technology are presented as an innovative approach for high-capacity and sustainable power networks.

The science programme Einstein explores the challenges of Switzerland's energy transition and its impact on the national power grid. The report showcases innovative power transmission technologies and provides insights into the development and application of Hivoduct Pressurized Air Cables.

CIGRE CH visits Hivoduct

Electrosuisse accompanied the visit of the Swiss National Committee of CIGRE to Hivoduct and published a video about the technology.

The report demonstrates how Pressurized Air Cables work and highlights their potential for future energy and transmission networks.

Swissgrid tests PAC

As part of a pilot project, Swissgrid is evaluating the use of Pressurized Air Cables in the transmission grid.

The focus is on transmission capacity, significantly reduced reactive power, and the suitability of the technology for future grid infrastructure.

PAC in a service tunnel

The technical article by Cableizer documents the installation and commissioning of a Pressurized Air Cable system in a utility tunnel.

It focuses on the technical implementation, high-voltage testing, and the key findings from the pilot project.

Innovative underground cables

The Swiss construction magazine Baublatt highlights innovative solutions for expanding energy infrastructure.

The article focuses on technologies that reduce transmission losses and support the development of high-capacity power grids – including Hivoduct Pressurized Air Cables.
