LOAD OPTIMIZATION ON OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINES

More efficient utilization of existing high-voltage networks is often prevented by inaccurate knowledge of the operational condition of the line. The conductor temperature and thus conductor sag increase with increasing load. Incalculable external influences like ambient temperature, wind cooling and solar radiation also affect the conductors.

 

RITHERM® now makes exact, continuous and low-cost monitoring of overhead transmission lines possible for the first time. RITHERM® does not measure the cable tension or ambient conditions like other systems, but makes a direct acquisition of the exact conductor temperature.
