Line Capacity
DLR allows:
To uncover the fullavailable line capacity (aka ampacity)
To get closer to the limit, with the same level of security

Typical Results
Products/service offering:
The Ampacimon Dynamic Line Rating suite
Uses historical weather parameters to compute statstical DLR capacities for given lines of a grid
Accounts for direction changes vs prevailing winds
Can account for seasonal fluctuations
On a specific line, if data is available, can account for max sag/temperature of specific sections
Graphical interface showing ampacity, ampacity reserve etc.
Sag sensor
Measures lines vibrations
Transmits data through GSM or Xbee network
On-board wind measurement (patented)
In average, one every 3-5km (more if more complex terrain.less if flat !)
Certified up to 400kV (500kV possible)
DLR Applications
REN integration
Accelerates wind farms integration (no need for new lines)
Less curtailment => higher revenue for wind farms
REN integration
Maximize usage of existing OVH lines
Particularly interesting for wind farms
Example:
A TSO needs to connect 9MW extra wind farm capacity on
a 63kV line (static rating 430Amp)
New OHL would require new 24m investment, 5 years
plan
and
deployment
done in 3 months, costing 400k
Gains up to 50% in RT sufficient to debottleneck the line
Infrastructure optimization
Increase security of supply with existing assets
Improve interconnections
Example:
Belgium, faced with potential generation shortage needs
to maximize interconnections with F and NL
Equip all 8 interconnections with
and
D-2 forecast allows to increase total (3000MW) import
capacity by 10-15%
Up to 30% in Real Time
Deployed in 2 months, increase security of supply by
300MW !
Market Liquidity
Monitors true available capacity, data can be shared with
operators/market participants
Reliably forecast bottleneck interconnectors
Increases price convergence at a fraction of the cost and time
of new OHL projects
Can be combined with other flexibility devices

Proven
Currently uses Ampacimons 1-4h forecast instead of static ratings in their 1/4h EMS
Has been using Ampacilmon for 5 years
Day-ahead forecasting on all interconnection lines being deployed
Looking for a economical solution to reduce expensive re-dispatch events on congested network links
Has been using Ampacimon in real operations for 1 year, with a 4 months pay-back
Quick and economical solution to deal with significant congestion issues due to the integration of renewable energy
sources and the moratorium on nuclear energy
Smartzone project
Considering use of Day-ahead forecast modules
