Problem
Electrical transmission lines often operate below their maximum capacity due to fixed, conservative ratings that don't account for real-time environmental conditions. This limits the ability to transmit more power, especially from renewable energy sources, and increases the risk of outages due to unforeseen events.
Solution
LineVision provides utilities with non-contact sensors and dynamic line rating (DLR) technology to optimize the capacity and safety of existing electrical transmission lines. The LineVision LUX sensor monitors critical parameters such as conductor temperature, line sag, and ambient weather conditions in real-time. This data feeds into LineVision's software suite, which calculates dynamic line ratings based on IEEE- and CIGRE-backed methodologies, enabling utilities to safely increase line capacity by up to 40% on average. The platform also provides situational awareness and asset health monitoring, helping utilities avoid outages, improve asset management, and prioritize maintenance.
Target Audience
The primary customers are electric utilities seeking to increase the capacity and safety of their transmission lines, integrate more renewable energy, and improve grid resilience.
