Problem
Transmission grid operators often face constrained line capacity due to conservative static ratings and aging infrastructure, leading to congestion, under‑utilized assets, and increased risk of outages. Additionally, undetected insulation defects in high‑voltage equipment can cause unexpected failures and costly repairs.
Solution
Ampacimon provides software‑driven monitoring and rating solutions that turn real‑time environmental data into dynamic line ratings, enabling up to 40 % more power flow on existing overhead lines. Patented sensors (Sense, Sense X) and sensor‑less models (Ambient Adjusted Rating, Facility Rating) continuously measure temperature, wind, solar radiation and line sag to calculate safe current‑carrying capacity. For aging assets, the company offers AI‑based partial discharge (PD) monitoring platforms (BlueBox, PDEye, PDSolver) that detect, classify and locate insulation defects using high‑frequency, acoustic and UHF sensors, delivering actionable alerts and maintenance prioritization. All data are processed in cloud‑based analytics pipelines and presented through web dashboards or API integrations, allowing operators to optimize capacity, defer new construction, and improve grid reliability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are transmission system operators, distribution network utilities and asset‑management teams responsible for line capacity optimization and high‑voltage equipment reliability.
