Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) are an innovative approach to operating transmission lines that allow electric utilities to utilize the true maximum safe capacity that can be transmitted through the lines (ampacity). Carrying more power on existing infrastructure allows utilities to save on transmission upgrades, reduce congestion, and ultimately save consumers money. DLR is made possible by different methodologies that measure the various properties in the field such as ambient weather conditions and temperature of the conductors on a transmission line. Data on conductor conditions and the surrounding environment are collected and used to calculate the DLR for the line. DLR has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency and reliability of the power grid. Implementations of the technology require no new construction and can be operational and provide benefits to the grid in months. As the electricity demand continues to grow from electrification, DLR will be an important piece of the puzzle for operators to adequately meet demand.
