The patented sensing method provides a unique approach to Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) by directly measuring the physical behavior of overhead conductors through vibration-based sensing. At the core of the approach is the use of low-frequency mechanical vibrations naturally caused by wind or thermal convection to gather essential physical parameters of the conductor. This data is collected directly on the line with DLR sensors and does not require external calibration or third-party weather data. As a result, the system is highly autonomous and accurate, even in complex or remote environments.

• Uses low-frequency vibrations caused by wind or thermal convection.

• Establishes a direct relationship between vibration frequency and sag for precise measurements.

• No calibration or conductor data needed for secure grid operation.
