Capacitive Transfer System Cable for Efficient Wind Energy IntegrationEnertechnos has developed an innovative cable design called the Capacitive Transfer System (CTS), which delivers a substantial change in power system design while providing significant benefits to wind developers and owners, including power loss reduction, improved reactive power management, and the potential for reduced operating voltage or reduced size and weight of cables through increased current density. Case studies demonstrate that CTS cable can deliver more power over the same cross-section, thus allowing reductions in copper use and the associated carbon footprint.
