Abstract
A new dynamic grid management solution that enables the optimization of transmission path capacity
is presented. This methodology brings the technology of real time direct clearance and temperature
monitoring together with learning-based dynamic line rating analytics. This methodology can be utilized to
maximize existing transmission assets and reduce the potential safety risks inherent in current conventional
methodologies. This new solution calibrates IEEE 738-2006 methodology by using known monitored weather
and conductor information, thus creating accurate real time dynamic line ratings.
The planning benefits of implementing methodology can also introduce flexibility for the timing of investment
in new transmission facilities, and is an example of environmental and business stewardship -- maximizing the
value of existing facilities while reducing costs. The ultimate benefit of utilizing real time dynamic line ratings
is the ability to provide accurate and reliable 24 hour forecasting. Further, applications and commensurate
benefits of the real time direct clearance monitoring technology without the dynamic line rating analysis will
also be indicated.
