During the last 10 years, several investigations on network failures have been conducted, which brought to the conclusion that the grid failure rate is too high in MV underground line, it is due to the joints, generally seen as a weak point in the network.
This challenge provides contribution to the following SDGs:
> EXPIRATION DATE EXTENDED <
The main scope of this challenge is to find a new type of medium voltage joint with a different from the current one.
For instance, it is necessary to find solutions for the thermal, electric and mechanical aging of the joints, to contrast phenomena like:
