RTE completes successfully the first stage of Smart Wires Modules Installation
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PARIS, April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Last week the French transmission
company RTE successfully completed its first installation of Smart Wires
PowerLine Guardian modules on a 63 kV overhead line located in the South West of
France. The full deployment of this distributed power flow controller will
allow a more flexible operational control leading to an improved quality of
electricity for the customers of the area. The installation of the first stage
(6 modules) took one day, during which RTE's line men learned how to deal with
these new devices.

This application highlights RTE's leadership in utilising new innovative
technology and its ability to quickly focus resources on a dedicated project.
After a period of users' feedback, RTE will investigate completing the
installation with a few tens of modules (up to 1W) on this same overhead line as
the full and operational solution.
Christian POUMAREDE, R&D project leader at RTE said "We were delighted to
partner with Smart Wires on this project. Their level of customer service and
innovation were very professional and accurate."
Smart Wires' Managing Director for Europe, Michael Walsh said, "We are very
proud to have completed our first project in mainland Europe with RTE. Their
level of insight and openness to change and innovation was amazing. All around
the world the generation and consumption of energy is changing. It is becoming
increasingly difficult for network companies to respond to these needs with
conventional technology. At Smart Wires, we are dedicated to providing new
solutions that can be quickly deployed and tailored to efficiently match changes
in the power system as they emerge."
