The gas insulated transmission line (GIL) is a technology developed fo
r the needs of the 21st century, where huge metropolitan areas need an
electrical supply for the public and industry. Natural resources of e
nergy are often far away from metropolitan areas. The GIL, as an alter
native to overhead lines and synthetic cables, will help to solve loca
l energy supply needs. The technology developed is based on over 20 ye
ars of experience, with gas insulated systems that are in synergy with
pipeline technic. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
