Network operational planning aims to provide smart and cost effective solutions to postpone conventional transmission and sub-transmission expansion. One emerging measure of improving the efficiency of power lines utilization is Dynamic Line Rating (DLR).
Key Features & Benefits
Increase overhead line thermal capacity by 10%-50% more capacity and 95% of the time
Mitigation of transmission congestion
Increased transmission capacity at minimal investment
Increased situational awareness for operators
More efficient integration of renewables such as solar energy
Potential Applications
The DLR system can be utilized in situation whereby transmission network constraints under contingency becomes an operational limitation
In some cases, the limitation imposes generation constraints, which could lead to operational inefficiencies. The limit can be stretched by applying dynamic rating to selected lines which will bring in significant operational cost saving
