Powerlines just got smart
Andreas and Magnus Fors Haugen, the entrepreneurial brothers from Alta, embarked on a journey fueled by a common challenge faced by many Norwegians: power outages caused by snow and ice on power lines. Driven by this motivation, they tirelessly sought a solution. After extensive development and rigorous testing, they witnessed their idea come to life. The result? An innovative device that not only automatically resolves snow and ice issues but also provides invaluable information for power companies.
“What initially seemed like a simple solution has evolved into a cutting-edge system that monitors capacity and effortlessly tackles snow and ice problems,” declared the Fors Haugen brothers. “We had to push the boundaries of existing technology in various aspects, as we couldn’t find equipment that met our requirements.”
By developing a comprehensive monitoring system, power companies now have a powerful tool at their disposal to enhance power efficiency and minimize maintenance requirements.
Weather-related power distribution failures pose a significant global problem, costing society billions of Euros annually. Maintaining power distribution infrastructure is more costly than electricity production itself, necessitating resource-intensive efforts. As the shift towards renewable energy accelerates, ensuring reliable power supply becomes increasingly crucial. Avju is dedicated to contributing to the green shift while building a successful business. Our focus is on developing solutions that enhance power distribution efficiency, reduce maintenance needs, and secure reliable renewable energy integration. Together, let’s create a sustainable future.
