Dynamic Line Ratings: A tool for transmission capacity and grid reliability
Are you curious about Dynamic Line Ratings Technology? Tune in to this webinar to learn more about the fundamentals of the technology, considerations for transmission operators and engineers, real-world examples of DLR implemented in the field, and how partnerships can enhance data-driven decision-making and handling complex engineering decisions. This webinar will be hosted by LineVision, the leading provider of Dynamic Line Ratings. This session will be presented by Kristine Engel, PE, Sr. Applications Engineer, Hilary Pearson, Sr Director Regulatory and Government Affairs and Scott Finnesand, Director of Transmission & Distribution at Ulteig.
Dynamic Line Ratings (DLRs) use sensors to determine when temperature and wind conditions can allow lines to carry more electricity, boosting line capacity by up to 40%. DLR can be installed quickly at critical spots on the grid to alleviate bottlenecks of electrons. Renewable energy can interconnect by increasing capacity on constricted areas without requiring lengthy, expensive grid upgrades. Furthermore, DLR is complementary to transmission rebuilds and reconductoring: capacity gains from DLR can aid in rerouting power during the planned outages needed to complete upgrades.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently announced is seeking comments on a possible regulatory framework for dynamic line ratings, or DLR, a move that could increase overall power flows on transmission lines.
The “advanced notice of proposed rulemaking” builds on comments FERC has already received on DLRs through a notice of inquiry. After the agency receives comments on the ANOPR - due in 90 days after it is published in the Federal Register - FERC could issue a proposed rule.
