  • Swepol Link Sets New Environmental Standard for HVDC Transmission
    00 ABB Review 4/2001 SwePol Link sets new environmental standard for HVDC transmission Leif Söderberg, Bernt Abrahamsson Six cable links – all of them HVDC (high-voltage direct current) – are currently in service between the power grids of continental Europe and the Nordic region, with another five planned. The latest to be brought on line is the SwePol Link, which connects the electricity networks of Poland and Sweden. It is unique in that, unlike previous installations that depend on electrode stations to transmit the return current under ground or under water, it uses 20-kV XLPE cable to carry this current. The high-voltage HVDC submarine cable used for the SwePol Link is designed for 600 MW at 450 kV. he reason for all these links is the technically feasible to reverse the entire onds to prevent grid failure if the voltage T vital need to secure power system 600 MW power throughput of the in southern Sweden drops below 380 kV. reliability in each of the participating SwePol Link in just 1.3 seconds, although With all previous links of this kind, countries.

Dette er et område Rennebu kommune prioriterer svært høyt i forhold til utmarksressurser, reindrift, friluftsliv og rekreasjon. Dette er ikke forenlig med utbygging av vindkraft. Rennebu kommune mener at temakartet for Indre Sør-Trøndelag har mangler og at området ikke er egnet for utbygging av vindkraft. Dette begrunnes med bl.a.: De marginale vinterbeitene til reindrifta i Trollheimen vil kunne bli svært berørt. Dette er selve grunnlaget for å kunne drive tamreindrift i Trollheimen. Drivingsleiene kan også ødelegges - noe som vanskeliggjør tamreindrifta. Det slippes ca. 10.000 småfe i utmarka fra Ilfjellet beitelag og Rennebu øst beitelag. På viltkartet er området avmerket med både svært viktig, viktig og lokalt viktig område. Store deler av arealet defineres som viktig friluftslivsområde som benyttes av svært mange.

  • Taxi Midt-Norge, Trøndertaxi Og Vy Buss AS Skal Kjøre Fleksibel Transport I Regionene I Trøndelag Fra August 2021
    Trondheim, 08.02.2021 Taxi Midt-Norge, TrønderTaxi og Vy Buss AS skal kjøre fleksibel transport i regionene i Trøndelag fra august 2021 Den 5. februar 2021 vedtok styret i AtB at Taxi Midt-Norge, TrønderTaxi og Vy Buss AS får tildelt kontraktene for fleksibel transport i Trøndelag fra august 2021. Transporttilbudet vil være med å utfylle rutetilbudet med buss. I tillegg er det tilpasset både regionbyer og distrikt, med servicetransport i lokalmiljøet og tilbringertransport for å knytte folk til det rutegående kollektivnettet med buss eller tog. Fleksibel transport betyr at kundene selv forhåndsbestiller en tur fra A til B basert på sitt reisebehov. Det er ikke knyttet opp mot faste rutetider eller faste ruter, men innenfor bestemte soner og åpningstider. Bestillingen skjer via bestillingsløsning i app, men kan også bestilles pr telefon. Fleksibel transport blir en viktig del av det totale kollektivtilbudet fra høsten 2021. Tilbudet er delt i 11 kontrakter. • Taxi Midt-Norge har vunnet 4 kontrakter og skal tilby fleksibel transport i Leka, Nærøysund, Grong, Høylandet, Lierne, Namsskogan, Røyrvik, Snåsa, Frosta, Inderøy og Levanger, deler av Steinkjer og Verdal, Indre Fosen, Osen, Ørland og Åfjord. • TrønderTaxi har vunnet 4 kontakter og skal tilby fleksibel transport i Meråker, Selbu, Tydal, Stjørdal, Frøya, Heim, Hitra, Orkland, Rindal, Melhus, Skaun, Midtre Gauldal, Oppdal og Rennebu. • Vy Buss skal drifte fleksibel transport tilpasset by på Steinkjer og Verdal, som er en ny og brukertilpasset måte å tilby transport til innbyggerne på, og som kommer i tillegg til rutegående tilbud med buss.Vy Buss vant også kontraktene i Holtålen, Namsos og Flatanger i tillegg til to pilotprosjekter for fleksibel transport i Røros og Overhalla, der målet er å utvikle framtidens mobilitetstilbud i distriktene, og service og tilbringertransport i områdene rundt disse pilotområdene.
