Building critical infrastructure such as power lines in and around communities is always going to be challenging.

But important decisions on how we balance the need for new infrastructure with its costs and impact on the local environment simply can’t be avoided.

They have to be made if we are to meet customers’ needs - and ensure the lights stay on.

100.000 PYLONS NEEDED BY 2020 - IN EUROPE ALONE

6

The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy calls for a worldwide, large-scale expansion of the power transmission grid - the interconnecting motorways of high voltage.

In Europe alone, 28.000 km of 400 kV transmission line is needed by 2020 to fulfil the

100.000 PYLONS NEEDED BY 2020 - IN EUROPE ALONE

aim of providing 20 percent of Europe’s energy from renewable sources such as solar power, hydro power and wind power. This corresponds to the distance from London to Perth and back.

It also means that more than 100.000 new pylons will be needed in the near future.

Extending the European trans-mission grid requires a new type of pylon. A pylon that is easier to erect, less costly, and better looking than the old ones, must be made available if we are to meet consumer demands - and ensure the lights stay on.

TIME FOR CHANGEAN ALTERNATIVE TO THE LATTICE TOWER

All over the world, people find lattice towers intrusive and very often fiercely oppose them.

This makes life difficult for Trans-mission System Operators (TSO’s) trying to meet the demand for new lines that carry renewable energy from production sites to population centres.

BYSTRUP is a company exclusively focused on designing, developing, planning and erecting innovative power pylons that represent a real alternative to the traditional lattice tower.

Through projects in the UK and Denmark, we have considerable experience in getting public acceptance with our pylons. We have set up a framework of guidelines for developing power pylons that combine best-in-class engineering with environmental awareness and aesthetics.

The aim of this booklet is to provide the reader with an over-view over current trends in the energy sector and the challenges and possibilities in transitioning to renewables, stated by peers in the industry.

After more than a century, the lattice tower remains unchanged. This is despite substantial technologcal pro-gress and a growing resistance among the public.

At BYSTRUP, we believe it is time for change.

GETTING PUBLIC ACCEPTANCELESSONS LEARNED

Due to strong public opposition to lattice towers, the Danish TSO, Energinet.dk encountered prob-lems obtaining permits for a new transmission line. Therefore the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy, in cooperation with Energinet.dk, organized an inter-national competition to find a new power pylon design.

The winning design from BYSTRUP is a pylon of two elements. The steel shaft is a modest structure which rises from the ground, set-ting the rhythm of the transmis-sion line through the landscape. The conductors spanning be-tween are carried and organised by delicate stainless steel lattice frames which top the masts. These lightweight structures reflect the environment and merge into the sky, to make the pylon tops almost invisible.

The material of the shaft was se-lected by local communities from a choice of painted, galvanised or weathering steel; a decision that allowed locals to take ownership in the project.

A year after the new pylons were installed, Henning Øbro, Senior Executive Project Manager of En-erginet.dk, met with the communi-ty group originally opposed to the transmission line. They expressed how their perception of the pylons had changed to positive and that they are now proud to have the pylons in their landscape. By fondly naming the pylons ‘Magic Wands’, locals have not only em-braced them, but have confirmed the original vision of the design in the landscape.

Henning Øbro, Senior Executive Project Manager, Energinet.dk.

In 2001, the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy organized an international competition seeking a new power pylon design. The Design Pylon won first prize and the line of 80 pylons that has been installed is very well received by the locals.

Locals were involved in the whole process and have em-braced the new pylons. They call them ‘Magic Wands’.

In a recent study, “MARNU”, from a CIGRE publication (2014), 1,000 respondents from all over Austria were asked to evaluate 6 different tower types.

The results were clear: across several criteria, the tubular towers were rated in first place.

They were considered modern and even beautiful, whereas the lattice steel tower designs were criticized as old-fashion looking and not beautiful.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK KASSØ-TJELE

Christian Jensen, Executive Project Manager, Energinet.dk.

The line between Kassø and Tjele is vital to the Danish energy infra-structure and essential in order to exchange energy with the sur-rounding countries. For the line running through Jutland in Den-mark, BYSTRUP developed the

Eagle Pylon. In November 2014, the new double circuit 400 kV power line was up and running.

Energinet.dk, the Danish grid ope-rator, started planning the line in March 2009 with an environmental impact assessment, as required by the regional planning authorities. The first public hearing, where dif-ferent tower types and ideas were presented, was held in June 2009. The meeting gave the citizens an opportunity to discuss the overall project and the more local matters.

In the second public hearing in March 2010, the final design was presented, and the public was asked to share their view on specific alter-natives. The feedback towards the new design was overall positive.

In autumn that year, the final environmental impact assessment and detailed route planning were reviewed.

After being successful with the Design Pylon, BYSTRUP introduced the Eagle Pylon for a new 166 km line from Norway to Germany.

The Eagle Pylon line is the backbone of the Danish transmission grid

When construction started in 2012, at Energinet.dk it was a surprise that the locals did not, as usual, call in massively to com-plain. The phones stayed silent and among the few incoming calls some were even praise!

The new power line has been well accepted by most neigh-bours, experts, and contrac-tors.

“

In the beginning of 2015, BYSTRUP received the ‘Good Practice of the Year’ award, granted by the Euro-pean Union affiliate RGI, for this particular design.

THE FIRST T-PYLONS INSTALLEDINNOVATIVE DESIGN FOR NATIONAL GRID

David Wright, Director of Electricity Transmis-sion Asset Management, National Grid.

A striking new design of electricity pylon can be seen in the english countryside for the first time.

National Grid has begun construc-tion of a line of the new high volt-age T-pylons, which at 35 metres are up to a third lower in height than the traditional steel lattice pylons.

The pylon was the winner of an international competition to find a 21st century design for carrying high voltage overhead lines.Its innovative but simple layout gives it a T-shaped cross arm, with the electricity wires and the insula-tors which hold them in place arranged in a diamond “earring” shape.

We’ve been able to answer yes to the hundreds of questions that need to be asked before we can introduce a new type of pylon.

I’m incredibly proud of the high standard of engineering that brought us to this point. We developed the new style of pylon so that we could have a 21st century design to offer as we plan new transmission routes.”

First new pylon for 90 years a hit with voters

The new electrity pylon design is almost twice as favoured as the old design – and is espe-cially liked by the young.

Weighing ten tons less than the traditional pylon and standing 14 meters shorter, the new design will be less obtru-sive and better suited to trans-mitting a diversified electricity supply than its predecessor.

It only takes 4-6 hours to install a T-Pylon

Chief Executive of National Grid Steve Holliday presents the T-Pylon to

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the Royal Academy of Engineering.

The T-Pylon is designed to have a reduced visual impact on the land-scape: it has a smaller footprint than the traditional steel lattice pylon and is about a third lower in height than its skeletal forebears. It is also quicker to build: prefab-ricated in bolt-together sections, it can be assembled by a team of five people in a day, compared with the nine people working for five days required for the original design.

Six of the new pylons have been erected at the National Grid’s training academy in Eakring, Not-tinghamshire, each demonstrating a different function in the network.

The new line will be complete by mid-May this year.

According to the jury’s assess-ment, the sculpture pylon measur-ing 34.5 metres in height and 32.5 metres in width stands as an illustration of the beautiful land-scape at Heia.

Mirror Wall is constructed of a simple steel lattice structure. The framework is covered with panels of reflecting stainless steel with hidden fittings to give the desired reflection of the landscape.

It is a testimony to nature being a sensation in itself at this particular place. The Mirror Wall does not interfere with the vision of nature, but will serve as a reflection to the many that come here to hike.

MIRROR WALLREFLECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Håkon Borgen, jury chairman,Executive Vice President, Statnett, Technol-ogy and Developement

The Mirror Wall is new and different, yet in harmony with the environment and the scenic location.

The competition to design Statnett’s first sculpture pylon was won by BYSTRUP with their Mirror Wall design.

The Mirror Wall is an innovative and exciting proposition which is both integrated into and stands apart from the landscape. The pylon is going to be placed at Heia in Tromsø as part of Statnett’s planned 420 kV line between Ofoten and Balsfjord.

The Mirror Wall is both new and different yet in harmony with the environment and the scenic location. Old and new is synchro-nised in a single archaic form; the reflecting square.

BYSTRUP first began work in the field of overhead line design in 2001 when the office won a com-petition for a new 400 kV power pylon for the local grid operator, Energinet.dk.

The resulting structure came to be referred to as the Design Pylon since appearance was the principal criterion being evaluated.

FINDING SOLUTIONS MAKING OVERHEAD LINES ACCEPTED BY THE PUBLIC

Marvin L. Zimmerman, Publisher, INMR, the leading technical journal in the field of transmission lines, electrical insulators, surge arresters, bushings and cable acces-sories.

Society has come to regard electricity as a basic necessity of life – even a birth right – much like clean air or water. Expand-ing the power grid is no longer only a dream but really the only way forward.

Highways and railways have long been regarded as normal compo-nents of rural and urban land-scapes. Yet most cultures seem unwilling to tolerate the presence of transmission towers in their communities. Using buried cables is the obvious way around this problem. But, from both a finan-cial and technical perspective, this solution is very difficult to imple-ment. In this regard, there is really no practical alternative to overhead transmission lines in the foresee-able future – only alternatives when it comes to how these lines will look.

Expanding the power grid is no longer only a dream but really the only way forward. Therefore, electricity supply companies must re-think how they design overhead lines and move beyond the aesthetic and design limitations that traditional lattice towers impose.

The Design Pylon won the competi-tion organized by the Danish

Ministry of Energy and Environment and Energinet.dk in 2001.

One of the challenges of any line planner is to optimize the design to meet requirements for mechan-ical and electrical performance as well as durability.

Clearly, such a technically demanding item needs to be much more than something that is only pleasing to the eye. Moreover, since technical challenges often vary with voltage, a new design approach may need to be made whenever voltage levels change. Similarly, it is also important to take the configuration of conduc-tors into account. Conductors have a significant visual presence as a transmission line moves across the landscape. Therefore, they must be considered carefully in the design. Indeed, conductor layout was ex-amined in the Eagle Pylon Project – a twin circuit 400 kV structure recently developed for Energinet.dk. A total of 480 of these struc-tures are erected in Denmark. The relationship between struc-ture design and conductor configu-ration was closely examined as this structure was being developed as part of a three level design proc-ess.

Essential in the design process, founder Erik Bystrup explains, was answering the basic question: “What do we really expect from a power line structure? Is it only a technical necessity, an object of design excellence or a piece of land art?The best answer, he remarks, lies somewhere in the middle of all three requirements.

The Eagle Pylon was used on a 2x400 kV line running through rural farmland.

Alternatives were then thoroughly examined before a final decision was made to erect the design regarded as optimal for that par-ticular landscape.

Each of the tower designs discussed above illustrates that there are not only challenges but also many real opportunities when it comes to expanding the power grid without strident opposition by the affected communities. But to realize these opportunities, line designers will have to go beyond their ‘comfort zone’ of relying only on the standard lattice tower concept of the past. In the INMR 2015 Buyers Guide, you

EU Energy Network Roadmap2050: A practical guide to a

prosperous, low-carbon Europe

24

Until recently, electricity was the cinderella; now it is becoming the princess.

The key to limiting climate change - and the way to re-duce our fatal addiction to oil and gas - is to build a network of electricity interconnections across the world.

In order to bring renewable energy from the places where it is in great supply to the places where demand is high, smart systems are needed.

Scientists tell us that unless the vast majority of known hydrocar-bons stay in the ground we have no hope of limiting temperature rise to an average of 2°C in this century.

We know that the energy to power all the needs of humankind and more is already there - radiating from the sun, supplemented by the wind and waves it generates.

The Roadmap 2050 study showed how the EU could meet its ambi-tion to decarbonise society by 80% by the year 2050; and by 100% with African desert power. The renewable energy just needs to be harvested, and distributed: the Climate Parliament, a network of legislators which I helped to set up, aims to make that happen.

Perhaps the most exciting devel-opments are in China. Not only are the Chinese building a long-distance transmission supergrid to link all parts of their own country, but the State Grid Corporation of China is proposing what it calls “a global electricity internet,” to share renewable energy resources across continents.

Their plans include a circular grid around the Arctic Ocean to con-nect everyone to the northern winds, and a link from China to Europe down the ‘solar silk road’.

I see a future in which human-kind works with the grain of nature, not against it. Electric-ity is a beautiful thing. Let us make its distribution beautiful too.

RENEWABLES-GRID-INITIATIVEBEST PRACTICE IN GRID EXPANSION PROJECTS

In January 2015, BYSTRUP received the ‘Good Practice of the Year’ award granted by the European Union affili-ate RGI. Executive Director of RGI, Antonella Battaglini talks about the massive need for a substantial transformation of the energy system.

Europe is in the middle of a sub-stantial transformation of its ener-gy system. In order to fight climate change, a strategy has been devel-oped consisting of three pillars: a reduction of greenhouse gas emis-sions, more energy efficiency, and an increased share of renewable energy.

This change will have tremendous effects on the geography and time horizons for planning and imple-menting new electricity infrastruc-ture.

To fully integrate renewable en-ergy from centralised and decen-tralised sources, Europe´s grid architecture needs to be adapted and expanded to allow transmis-sion over long distances, across national borders, and from genera-tion to consumption and storage sites. Thousands of kilometres of new lines need to be built today and in coming decades. However, public opposition is growing.

To overcome this opposition, new alliances are needed. RGI has provided a forum, in which TSOs and NGOs can practice their new roles. For the first time, these two groups defined their common interest in the 100%-integration of renewable electricity into the European grid and committed themselves to working together.

TSOs have learned that they need to overcome the ‘business as usual’ approach and respond to the new situation in a flexible way. Civil society, on the other hand, recognises that it needs to inspire the transformation, explain it and help build support among the general public.

The cooperation between grid operators and civil society dur-ing the past four years has shown that unexpected success can be achieved if different stakeholder groups team up.

EASY INSTALLATIONSAVES TIME & COSTS

A BYSTRUP Power Pylon consists of as few elements as possible to minimise transportation, construc-tion time and cost.

Any overhead line foundation solution must be robust enough to last the lifetime of the pylon, be capable of quick installation, and minimise land use.

A monopile foundation footprint is very small compared to a concrete plate foundation. From a sustain-ability point of view, the impact on the environment is smaller, and due to very limited excavation, ground water problems are practi-cally eliminated.

Foundations for offshore windmills are typically made with monopiles driven into the seabed. Similarly, foundations for pylons on land can be provided by a hollow steel tubular section hammered into the ground.

Using this solution, compared to the 28 days it would take for the concrete solution to reach the req-uisite strength for pylon erection, total installation time, including set-up of a full strength monopile foundation, can be done in one day by a single team.

The construction of power pylons has traditionally been a time consuming process. However, with modern manufacturing processes and elements that can travel on the roads in a few pieces, it is possible to erect one pylon in one day.

We have decided to play an active role in responsible global develop-ment – a role where environmen-tal and climate considerations are incorporated in a conscious choice of materials.

We are committed to designing py-lons that are socially, economically and environmentally responsible. We strive to create solutions that make a difference in the world of today and for the future. Our solu-tions answer not only current chal-lenges, but also address long-term developments in the global energy world.

To us, acting responsibly means applying our knowledge of mate-rial characteristics and recycling in the development of our designs. We do this by using products that optimize lifespan and provide al-ternatives to surface treatments.

Our power pylons are designed for future transmission lines. They have been developed with the specific purpose of minimiz-ing the environmental footprint over their lifetime.

We collaborate globally with govern-ment agencies, NGOs, green orga-nizations and other stakeholders to achieve our shared goals. Together, we are at the forefront of respon-sible design.

WORLD LEADINGSUSTAINABILITY MEANS ACTING RESPONSIBLY

Founder Erik Bystrup is member of the jury for the international award of Responsible Architecture.

At BYSTRUP, we see it as our mission to deliver sustain-able design – or responsible design as we prefer to call it.

Weathering steel and stainless steel are such examples. These materials have the natural resil-ience to last the lifetime of a pylon without requiring further treat-ment.

As well as having a long lifespan, weathering steel has a natural appearance that blends easily into various landscapes.

The environmental impact of a pylon extends beyond its life in service. At the end of its lifecycle, the steel from which a pylon is constructed must be recycled. This is more easily done when there are no surface coatings to be re-moved in the recycling process.

As part of the process, two prototypes of the Eagle Pylon were made for

mechanical tests and to assess visual appearance.

One was made of weathering steel with stainless steel cross arms; the other was

made of galvanised steel.

Traditionally, steel power pylons are either painted or galvanized to extend their lifespan. This can be an expensive solution over the life-time of a pylon since regular main-tenance is required to preserve the protective paint or galvanized coating.

The production and application of surface coatings also have undesir-able effects on the environment.

A better alternative to these conventional solutions is to use types of steel which do not require surface coatings.

The Sky Pylon is a design structure composed of flat geometrical sur-faces. With its exterior in mirror-polished stainless steel, it reflects the surrounding landscape and becomes close to invisible.

For the Sky Pylon to be as small as possible, focus has been on height, width, materials and overall costs.

Stainless steel is available with a wide range of properties, from standard cold rolled varieties that reflect the light in a beautifully subtle way, to highly polished ones that literally mirror the surround-ings.

The Sky Pylon shows what is pos-sible with modern techniques, materials and design.

Clad in mirror-polished stainless steel, the structure of the Sky Pylon reflects the surrounding landscape and blends in with the ever changing light from the sky.

THE FUTURE IS ELECTRICDECARBONIZING THE GRID IN CALIFORNIA

California law requires 33% of all electricity sold at retail to be supplied by renewable resources by 2020.

Contracts have already been signed to bring California’s renew-able generation to roughly 30,000 MW in 2020. Planning the trans-mission necessary to access and deliver that power began in 2004.

To meet the state’s GHG reduction targets in early 2015, California Governor Jerry Brown announced a new goal of producing 50% of all electricity used in the state from renewable resources by 2030. This will require development of more than 15,000 MW additional utility-scale renewable generating capac-ity—and transmission upgrades to connect that power to the grid.

Building transmission to access individual generating projects dispersed over large geographies would be expensive and create major environmental impacts. Instead, the state has and will continue to use a Renewable En-ergy Zone approach to inform the transmission planning to connect biomass, geothermal, solar and wind resources to the grid.

Grouping development of renew-able energy generating projects into small geographic areas mini-mizes the amount of transmission required to access them, and thus

helps to minimize the delivered cost of power from those projects. It also minimizes environmental impacts because development is constrained into a limited num-ber of relatively small geographic areas.

As California continues to add renewables, it will also take ad-vantage of high quality resources in other states. Sharing these resources—both imports into and exports from California—will likely require new transmission. Retire-ment of coal plants to meet GHG goals will also change regional power flows. California will collab-orate with other states to optimize new transmission needed, and to minimize environmental impacts of the infrastructure necessary to decarbonize its electricity supply.

The Composite Pylon:

- Cost competitive

- Compact design- Simple and fast foundation- Erected in a day- Standard composite materials- A unibody insulator

The Composite Pylon is currently being developed in cooperation with leading Universities and inter-national partners.

The Composite Pylon com-pletely rethinks the design of overhead lines, making it the power pylon of the future.

We have developed a new py-lon that defines a new era for the transmission line industry: a pylon rising from the ground as a unibody insulator with two cross-arms, each carrying 400 kV.

THE COMPOSITE PYLON SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER

It is about half the size of a con-ventional lattice tower while car-rying the same amount of power. The pylon can be assembled on site and erected in a single day.

The pylon is made of composite materials that have been in use for more than 30 years in the insu-lation industry - hence the name Composite Pylon.

This revolutionary design bene-fits TSOs as well as the public. It is aimed at creating a new pylon that is smaller, more compact, and more visually acceptable. Its smal-ler stature reduces the construc-tion cost, while the material helps reduce corona noise and magnetic fields.
