High-strength composite materials lead the upgrade of smart grid

In recent years, the power fittings industry has accelerated technological iteration, with innovative achievements centered on high-strength composite materials and intelligent design becoming focus. A leading company has launched a new type of nano-modified insulation fittings, which successfully enhance the mechanical strength of products by more than 30% and reduce line by about 15% by integrating non-metallic composite materials with anti-aging coating technology, meeting the needs of ultra-high voltage transmission scenarios.

Technical include:

❖ Material breakthrough: Carbon fiber reinforced resin-based composite materials are used, which combine lightweight and corrosion resistance characteristics, extending the service life to more than 20;

❖ Intelligent monitoring: Built-in micro-sensors achieve real-time monitoring of temperature and stress, and the AI operation and maintenance platform can warn of more than 0% of potential faults;

❖ Green manufacturing: The full-process low-carbon production process reduces 40% carbon emissions compared to traditional models and has passed the State EcoVadis certification.

At present, the technology has been applied on a large scale in scenarios such as the Sichuan-Tibet Power Grid Interconnection Project and wind power projects, promoting the transformation of the power system towards high reliability and low energy consumption. The company stated that it will continue to increase R&D investment and plans to launch pilot product of degradable insulation fittings in 2024 to further respond to the dual carbon strategy.
