The electricity interconnection between Spain and France, which will double the capacity of energy that can log-shipped from one country to another, was inaugurated today in the French town of Montesquieu-des-Albères.
In this interconnection, which represents an investment of 700 million euros, will work an autonomous vehicle designed and manufactured by Robotnik. It performs tasks for the maintenance service of the tunnel. The robot has a autonomous functioning, ie, it does not require to be performed by anyone in the work of inspection. It also incorporates wide sensing, which provides information about the status of the facilities in the tunnel.
The interconnection has an underground section which will be the world’s longest (64.5 km) and will double the capacity of interconnection between Spain and France, increasing from 1400-2800 megawatts (MW).
