Hybrid transmission, a future-ready solution to grid challenges

August 6, 2025 11:17 am

We are transferring from the conventional grid to a smart grid. And one of the contributors to this is hybrid transmission technology, which is not yet implemented in India but will play a significant role in the future. There is a need to determine the type of technology involved and how to integrate the skills related to hybrid transmission technology. In short, the major components of hybrid transmission lines, as well as separate AC or DC transmission lines, include insulators, conductors, hardware, fittings, tower foundations, and earthwork. It is not a core engineering concept. It is a multidisciplinary domain. For this, it requires civil engineers and electrical engineers.
