Converting a typical power line from AC to DC can increase its power capacity by 65% or more while reducing thermal losses. Food for thought as Republicans try to push deregulation of energy infrastructure on Democrats, who want more power transmission capacity to enable clean energy deployment.
Conversion of AC distribution lines into DC lines to upgrade transmission capacity
Nowadays it is difficult to find corridors for building new overhead lines in industrialized countries. In many cases it is simply impossible. For tha…

A good day with our new Powerwall 3 battery. Charged from 16% to 100% SOC, powered the house 5 ton geothermal and topped up the car with excess solar, and now it's back feeding "the grid" aka our next-door neighbor. Zero power pulled from the grid today.
