When the webinarâs so good, you drop a single. Thanks @RMI and Quanta Technology for a great session on #GridEnhancingTechnologies in transmission planning. Please enjoy â#GETs: We Expected It To Be Harder Than It Was.â đ¶ Itâs time to #GETTheGridMoving. youtube.com/watch?v=KA9pVvâŠ
âAs [the orb] nears the wire, one side slides open, like Pac-Man going for a power pellet, and clamps on.â Read more about how #DynamicLineRatings are eating up power grid congestion from Boston to Estonia in Amos Zeeberg's article for IEEE Spectrum: spectrum.ieee.org/dynamic-line-râŠ
ELCONâs Karen Onaran for RealClearEnergy: â#GETs⊠are quick-to-deploy infrastructure, hardware, and software options that cost-effectively add capacity to the existing system.â #GETTheGridMoving #GridEnhancingTechnologies
Grid Enhancing Technologies like #DLR help the U.S. electric grid safely carry more power to where itâs needed most. National Grid found up to 46% more line capacity by factoring in real-time weather conditions. What are we waiting for? Read more here: cigre-usnc.org/wp-content/uplâŠ
Security pro Fred Bailey in National Interest: âOnly by upgrading the existing grid footprint⊠can the United States secure the energy foundation necessary for its strategic posture.â He notes that #GETs are key. More: nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-wo⊠#GETTheGridMoving
Dynamic Line Ratings (#DLR) proven again in MN: Great River Energy finds 25% average, up to 42.8% more âroomâ on a power line in favorable conditions: power-grid.com/td/transmissio⊠#GETTheGridMoving
We had a blast at RE+ Events in September, presenting on the real-world implementation of #GridEnhancingTechnologies. Read Kleinman Energyâs takeaways from the event here: kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/commentary/bloâŠ
61%: The additional capacity The AES Corporation discovered on a single line when they installed LineVision #DynamicLineRating sensors in Indiana & Ohio. #DLR adjusts power line capacity in real time based on weather, boosting grid efficiency & reliability. #GETs aes.com/sites/aes.com/âŠ
đto Utah.gov and Governor Cox for spearheading HB 212ânow itâs time to put #GETs into action. To help state regulators, our ED Julia Selker joined Rocky Mountain Power UT, Grid Strategies, Grid Lab, and The Pew Trusts staff for a briefing for Utahâs Public Service Commissioners. pew.org/en/research-anâŠ
