Maximize Grid Capacity with Dynamic Line Rating

Sensorless solutions are revolutionizing how Transmission System Operators (TSOs) manage grid capacity. Entirely software-driven, these solutions provide real-time ratings without relying on physical sensors, making them quick to deploy, cost-efficient, and scalable across entire transmission networks. As the global leader in DLR, we integrate sensorless technology into our core offerings, helping utilities worldwide unlock hidden capacity and enhance grid reliability.

🔹 Software only.

🔹 Fast deployment.

🔹 Minimum maintenance.

🔹 Standard compliant.

The GridBoost Facility Rating system is an all-in-one solution created to help utilities manage and optimize their electrical infrastructure capacity while maintaining full regulatory compliance. It is part of the larger GridBoost suite, which also includes Ambient and Dynamic Line Rating (ADR) tools. This system specifically calculates and manages the maximum safe electrical load that a facility, such as a transmission line or substation, can handle under different conditions.

🔹 Configurable and scalable.

🔹 Centralized asset management.

🔹 Improved grid utilization.

🔹 Complies with standards.

The Ambient Adjusted Rating (AAR) solution, GridBoost Lite, is a robust, sensorless software tool helping utilities unlock capacity from existing transmission lines. AAR applies industry-standard thermal models to ambient temperature and solar input, with a conservative fixed wind assumption. The result is a dynamic, hourly-updated ampacity value increasing line capacity by up to 10%, helping utilities reduce congestion, delay upgrades, and operate more sustainably.

🔹 Up to 10% capacity boost.

🔹 Weather-based predictions.

🔹 Cost-efficient.

🔹 Standards compliant.

The AAR+ solution, GridBoost Advanced, improves upon the basic AAR method by integrating forecasted wind data into its calculations. It is a fully sensorless software tool designed to help utilities unlock additional capacity from their existing transmission lines. This results in a real-time, hourly-updated ampacity value that can boost line capacity by up to 15%, helping utilities reduce congestion, postpone infrastructure upgrades, and operate more sustainably.

🔹Up to 15% capacity increase.

🔹Enhanced weather-based forecasts.

🔹Better data accuracy.

🔹Standard compliant.

These sensor-based DLR solutions use real-time line measurements to safely maximize transmission capacity. With smart sensors like Sense and Sense X, utilities gain precise, dynamic ratings to boost efficiency, reduce congestion, and support renewable integration. Explore how sensor-based DLR solutions work, the advancements in sensor technology, and success stories that demonstrate the impact of our sensors on global power grids.

🔹Up to 40% capacity increase.

🔹Full real-time monitoring.

🔹High data accuracy.

🔹Standard compliant.

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.

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