• Company Description;AssetCool has developed a technology which increases the performance of electricity networks while reducing energy losses, cost and emissions all at the same time.Bringing together recent advances.
• Up to 45% increase current carrying capacity compared to conventional conductors
• Reduction in power losses and CO2 emissions by up to 30%; the coating on a conductor rated for the same ampacity can reduce power losses due to the conductor having lower resistance, in turn reducing the carbon.
• Reduction in corrosion; the outer coating is inherently corrosion resistant and can protect the outer conductor strands from degradation in harsh environments.
• Significant OPEX and CAPEX financial savings; increasing the overhead line static thermal rating reduces the need to install new assets to cope with increasing demand.

Examining the interactions between dielectric interfaces and surface waves in the Mid-IR. The project involves both experimental and programming aspects. Models have been constructed in a variety of programming software, including; Matlab, Lumerical FDTD solutions and COMSOL multiphysics. Focused Ion Beam (FIB) patterning is used to fabricate devices using.
