Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Deployment of non-contact Lidar sensors on transmission towers to monitor real-time conductor temperature and sag, allowing the utility to safely push more power through existing lines during favorable weather conditions.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A critical 'grid enhancing technology' (GET). It solves the transmission bottleneck without building new poles and wires (which takes 10 years). By moving from static ratings (worst-case assumptions) to dynamic ratings, it unlocks hidden capacity immediately."

warning The Challenge

Renewable energy generation is growing faster than transmission capacity. Building new transmission lines involves massive permitting delays and costs. The utility was forced to curtail (waste) wind energy because the existing lines were rated conservatively based on 'worst-case' static weather assumptions (no wind, high heat), even when actual conditions allowed for higher flow.

psychology The Solution

Installed LineVision's non-contact sensors on transmission towers. These sensors use electromagnetic field detectors and Lidar to monitor the physical behavior of the wire (sag/sway) in real-time. The software correlates this with local weather data to calculate a 'Dynamic Line Rating', often allowing 30-40% more ampacity than the static limit.
