Enertechnos Capacitive Transfer System (CTS) cable is built using standard cable manufacturing equipment but arranges the conductors in a structure that creates a linear capacitor along the length of the cable. The unique line configuration and termination develops a bulk, series capacitance to balance the cable inductive reactance, which causes voltage drop and power factor issues over long distances. Performance has been simulated using 100m test cables and MATLAB® models that increase frequency to simulate longer cable lengths. Results of the models have been validated by the UK National Physical Laboratory and Brunel University. Enertechnos is focused on 33kV cables to start and can reduce to 11kV easily. Increasing voltage would require a thicker dielectric,so longer cable lengths would be required to achieve the necessary capacitance.
