Dynamic Line Rating
Dynamic Line Rating
Lindsey's SMARTLINE-TCF line rating platform informs the utility of a transmission line’s true power handling capacity. The SMARTLINE system can address any line rating need, providing ambient adjusted ratings (AAR), dynamic line ratings (DLR), transient, and emergency ratings. 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, perpendicular wind speed, sag, load and the conductor’s exact clearance-to-ground.
