Getting More Out of Existing High-Voltage Networks with Dynamic Line Rating (DLR)

How can the existing line capacity of an overhead line be optimally utilized and protected without building new infrastructure?

The answer: Weather-dependent overhead line operation with FORM from LANCIER Monitoring – weather dependent line rating - DLR

FORM uses the OPGW’s optical fiber to measure relevant environmental parameters such as temperature, wind, and solar radiation, and uses this data to calculate the dynamic and currently maximum transmittable power at the span level.

What does this mean in practice?

Dynamic and safe utilization of existing line capacities
Continuous and comprehensive monitoring of the entire line
100% fiber-optic based: robust against external influences
No external power supply required for field sensors
No wireless-based data transmission; secure against external interference
Scalable and implementable at any time without de-energizing down the lines
Minimal operating costs thanks to passive, maintenance-free sensor technology

In short: Greater grid efficiency without additional grid expansion!
