Traditional transmission line static ratings are intentionally developed to be exceptionally conservative. But these conservative ratings often limit the operation of the grid.
SMARTLINE informs the utility of a transmission line’s true power handling capacity. Compared to first generation dynamic line rating (DLR) methods, SMARTLINE ratings are developed by actively learning how the conductor behaves with regard to conductor temperature, ambient temperature, load, and the conductor’s exact clearance-to-ground. For a detailed discussion of how first-generation DLR systems differ from SMARTLINE, download this whitepaper.
