INSTALLING AND OPERATING UNDERGROUND POWER DISTRIBUTION BY SHARING EXISTING PIPELINES, TUNNELS, AND RIGHTS OF WAY

摘要

People from most countries have long had the desire to move their overhead power lines, telephone lines, CATV lines, and optical cables to the underground. It's ironic that, 21st technologies controlling 21st century economies are still relying on 19th century wooden poles. This paper provides new technologies and business models on how to share existing underground pipes, tunnels, and rights of way for multiple functions.
