Engineering stories that make complex power systems understandable

“As a licensed PE in the United States, I have craved a comprehensive video explaining HVDC systems for a decade now, and YouTube knows it because this video was first on my recommended feed tonight. By far the best and most complete explanation I have ever come across. I appreciate that you did not just gloss the amazing technology that makes this possible but actually explained in detail some of the past and current technology used and how it works. 10/10 You earned my Sub! ”

“Incredible. Thank you. you're literally the only person in Youtube that talks about this. Would you consider doing a video on your work as you work. Think that would be great to inspiring the young ones! You're a great find. Thanks for being here!”

“Jordan, can I just say, I think you and other National Grid content creators are evidence of the safe hands we are in here in the UK. Between yourself and James Watson, I can tell how much knowledge there is. James often talks about how training the next generation after him is his greatest duty, and you are part of that next generation. Keep being brilliant.”

“Jordan, that was a very interesting video. Much appreciated. As an electronics engineer for longer than I remember, I admire someone who can put their topic across in such a way that anyone could understand it. Top man.”

“As an engineer fairly new to the transmission network in the north of Scotland, and having come from a different industry originally, I have to say you are really filling a gap within Youtube content, enjoyed this video and look forward to far more.”

“Well done Jordan you've just earned a subscription. I have some electrical knowledge, nothing too technical, certainly nothing distribution related, but your clear description and explanations ensure that I was able to follow your video without rewinding to review the content. Exemplary is a much oversued word, but in this case it is entirely appropriate and well earned. Thank you and I look forward to watching more of your work.”

“Thanks for another great video. Not only do I watch from start to finish but I find myself constantly going back and watching the last 10 seconds or so because of your knowledge and my poor brain can't keep up. Yeah stinks of a coverup”

“Great video again! Im subscribed, I join national grid ED next week as a semi skilled engineer role, your videos are really helpful in getting a better understanding of how power flows etc. thanks so much, keep the videos coming!.”

“Wow, another great learning resource. Appreciate all the energy which went into this.”

“As always a very informative video for HVDC. I was part of the Scottish Power commissioning team for Western Link which was a great project to be involved with. Keep up the great explanations of our power system.”

“15:00 Today I learned about impressed voltages in power transmission. The clarity of the explanation is impressive. Pun intended.”

“Very interesting! Love the practical application examples and the info about our grid!”

“At the start I thought 'what would an Electric Brit know about the American power grid', and then less than 30 seconds later I realized you were an experienced and articulate linesman! Some fantastic insights here lol, both on the nature of distribution systems and on the cultural standards that come (and don't come) from that background. It's great seeing an outsiders perspective on a lot of this stuff. Thank you for taking the time!”

“I came into this video extremely skeptical...it took less than 13 minutes to blow my mind! 😲 Amazing Video!”

“Your video is a really great breakdown! Love to see it. Zombie lines and other maintenance issues with the aging power infrastructure in California has been a hot topic for a LONG time. Thank you for educating and exposing the issues on these topics. I hope many Californians can learn from this!”

“Thank you! Another great video; in-depth yet reasonably concise. :)”
