Technical Papers
Read the engineering detail behind decisions you can't undo
From Detail to Decision
Specifying for assets that must last decades means committing long before you can see the result. Our trend and white papers explain the details behind that decision: how materials behave under electrical, thermal, and environmental stress; what the test data show; and where designs tend to fail in the field.
Written by TE engineers and energy specialists, for engineers, utilities, developers, and asset owners who need more than a datasheet. Pick a paper by what you are solving:
- Reliability and safety under electrical and mechanical stress
- Designing for harsh environments: weather, wildlife, pollution, UV
- Scaling infrastructure without adding lifecycle risk
- What the energy transition changes in your network

From Design to Delivery: Where Utility-Scale Solar Projects Win or Slip
In utility‑scale solar projects, EBOS architecture and connection integrity significantly impact installation efficiency, reliability, and bankability, while Solar IPC selection and field adaptability reduce rework, improve quality, and ensure consistent long‑term system performance.
Designing for Avian Vision: A Performance-Based Approach to Power Line Collision Mitigation
As grid expansion increases bird collisions, vision‑based diverters designed using bird perception principles improve detectability, reduce collision risk, and enhance protection across species while supporting reliable infrastructure and lowering installation costs.
