Stakeholders Served
Promethean Devices’ RT-TLMS serves stakeholders in Transmission Planning, Transmission Operations, Transmission Engineering, Transmission Reliability, Transmission Asset Management and in Bulk Power Delivery.
Below is a description of actual and putative applications of RT-TLMS data by stakeholder
Transmission Planning
- Verify and monitor true line clearances and temperatures
- Track time at temperature
- Accurately estimate loss of strength and remaining lifetime
- Intelligently and confidently defer some transmission asset upgrades
Transmission Reliability
- Improve reliability by monitoring clearance and temperature
- Ensure adequate clearances; prevent imminent clearance violations
- Detect and track high conductor temperature events and excursions
Transmission Engineering
- Verify and monitor true line clearances and operating temperatures
- Anchor/verify/correct ROW & asset survey data and PLS-CADD models
- Reveal and quantify aggregate affects of unknown thermal history
Transmission Operations
- Reveal hidden and quantify actual transmission capacity/ATC
- Accurately monitor actual conductor clearances and temperature
- Quantify actual and latent thermal capacity
- Inexpensively monitor transmission circuit taps
- Estimate real-time dynamic ampacity (thermal rating)
- Increase existing static rating w/ high accuracy and confidence
- Confidently establish and utilize accurate quasi-static rating(s)
Transmission Asset Management
- Enhance and Inform T & D Asset Management Methods and Practices
Bulk Power Delivery
- Optimize Power Transfer Capability (ATC/TTC)
- Establish real-time dynamic line rating methods
- Verify, or increase path ATC, or inform ATC calculations
- Verify, or increase network TTC, or inform TTC calculations
