Problem
Utilities often lack real-time visibility into the thermal state of transmission lines and the condition of buried assets such as manhole vaults and pipelines, leading to conservative capacity limits, unexpected failures, and costly outages.
Solution
Skylark Energy Solutions offers fiber‑optic based dynamic line rating (DLR) and real‑time thermal monitoring (RTTR) systems that continuously measure conductor temperature and environmental conditions. The data are streamed to a cloud platform where advanced analytics calculate safe ampacity in real time, allowing operators to increase line utilization without compromising safety. In parallel, the company provides asset monitoring modules that embed sensors in manhole vaults and pipelines to detect temperature, humidity, and intrusion events. Integrated dashboards give utilities actionable alerts and trend analysis, supporting proactive maintenance and optimized grid performance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are transmission and distribution utilities seeking to maximize line capacity and protect critical underground infrastructure, as well as engineering firms that manage grid reliability projects.
