 The drivers of the energy business demand Nexans’ global expertise
While 1.5 billion people − one-fifth of the world’s population − are still without electricity, power generation capacity has been increasing by 3% annually to provide human comforts and create conditions for economic growth. This has been putting undue strain on existing infrastructures, which in many cases date from the 50s and 60s.
Nexans wants to support its customers in achieving the four drivers of the energy business:
Efficiency :
- transport the most energy possible, with minimal loss or bottlenecks.
- discover hidden congestion problems and assess potential risks.
- improved load management, possibly via dynamic control.
Reliability and Security :
- electricity must bedelivered reliably, meaning no cuts, breakdowns, cascading failures or blackouts, and without frequency variations or quality fluctuations (spikes and dips).
- Security : detect and (automatically) remedy abnormal situations (e.g. overheating, short circuits).
Flexibility :
- reroute, share or import power in case of congestion.
- continuous monitoring, network supervision, and smarter transmission tools to take immediate action.
- access vital user data through Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and exchange information through high speed optical fiber.
Eco-friendliness :
- reassure customers that buried and overhead lines are safe, and generate minimum losses and CO2, with low Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI).
- When networks are upgraded, obsolescent cables must be removed with no damage to urban areas or natural habitats, and materials recycled safely and efficiently.
Nexans’ solutions and services help you meet your challenges to build a smarter grid
With energy as the basis of our development, and a strong telecommunication background, we are uniquely placed not only to supply complete cables and cabling solutions for power generation, transmission and distribution networks, but also to furnish the decisional tools and technical means required to increase capacity, reduce losses and meet the challenges of congestion, bottlenecks and blackouts.
