• After four years and a 1.6-million-euro investment in innovation, the Grid2030 program, a pioneer in Spain, comes to its end.
• The technological challenges of the electrical system throughout the ecological transition process are the main focus of the developed solutions.

Technology has undergone a significant change with 5G, which connects several devices into a single network. This is an advantage that, for instance, enables Redeia to remotely inspect its electrical assets to better optimize facility maintenance and increase its security and safety. Additionally, it provides the opportunity for independent communications systems and infrastructure optimization.

What is SF6?

SF6 is an artificial gas whose properties make it a great dielectric. Specifically, it exceeds the dielectric property of air by 2.5 times, making it an excellent electrical insulator.

Where is it used?

Over the last few decades, it has been applied in a large number of assets in electricity transmission and distribution networks, for example as an insulator in switchgear, transformers or GIS (Gas Insulated Substation), among others.

Why should we reduce its use?

• This will allow us to use technology in a more universal and efficient manner, also improving the times required by specialised technicians.
• This initiative allows the intensification of the roll-out of wideband in rural and remote areas.
• The call, directed at the whole entrepreneurial ecosystem, will be open until September 30^th.
