This technology will help us resolve network congestion and achieve additional transmission capacity from our existing infrastructure,” says Priti Patel, VP of Transmission at Great River Energy.
Great River Energy is to install 52 of Heimdall Power’s Neurons, which will become the largest project for dynamic line rating (DLR) in the U.S. to date. DLR is a solution that combines sensors and software for capacity monitoring and prediction for TSOs.
This new project comes after a successful pilot project between the two parties, that resulted in a 42.8% potential increase in transmission capacity on one of Great River Energy’s key powerlines. “This technology will help us resolve network congestion and achieve additional transmission capacity from our existing infrastructure,” says Priti Patel, VP of Transmission at Great River Energy.
Great River Energy currently supplies power to 1.7 million people in the Upper Midwest. The transition from static seasonal line rating to dynamic line rating will enable more available transmission capacity, and increase operational efficiency,” says Jørgen Festervoll, CEO of Heimdall Power.
