In the electrical system, energy is primarily transmitted through overhead lines and their supporting structures (transmission towers), which are necessary to hold the conductors and maintain safety distances.
Bird guards are devices that improve the visibility and detection of power lines by birds, reducing the likelihood of collision with them. Red Eléctrica, thanks to both its commitment to the conservation of birdlife and as part of its compliance with current law, installs various types of these devices on its lines to improve the safety and protection of birdlife.
Elewit, Redeia’s technology platform, has officially opened applications for the sixth edition of its Venture Client Programme for startups. The submission deadline ends on Wednesday, 30 April 2025. As Elewit’s flagship corporate venturing initiative, the programme is designed to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge solutions into Redeia and its subsidiaries. The goal is to drive innovation in the operational processes of the electricity and telecommunications sectors, where the company operates.
We’re excited to launch a new edition of our Data Challenge in collaboration with Red Eléctrica's electricity System Operation Modelling team. Our goal is to identify identify potential partners who can provide Red Eléctrica with the best electricity demand forecasting service.
Underground cable splices are among the most important components of our underground infrastructure, and therefore, maintenance teams require stringent safety measures beforehand to access them, as they are confined spaces that may present physical limitations for inflow and outflow of natural ventilation. Additionally, toxic and flammable gases can accumulate inside. The atmosphere within the confined space may be oxygen-deficient, posing a health risk to workers.
Grounding is a common process in the electricity sector that ensures the safety of people, protects assets, and safeguards the stability of the electricity system. The process consists of connecting the element on which an intervention will be performed to the ground to ensure that those carrying out the intervention are at no risk of electric shock.
The management of electrical sub-stations is becoming increasingly complex while demanding higher technical efficiency to meet the ambitious goals of the ecological transition. For this reason, Elewit, as Redeia’s innovation catalyst, is continuously developing new solutions that transform the management of the electrical system, boosting its efficiency and sustainability.
The strategic collaboration between Elewit and Nearby Computing is driving the deployment of 5G and smart asset management through Edge Computing. This way, they strengthen their market position and accelerate the development of advanced technological solutions that meet the growing demands for real-time connectivity and processing.
