Unlocking Transmission Line Capacity Using Dynamic Line Ratings

A key part of the national electrical grid is the transmission of electricity over large distances from the point of its generation to the point of use.  This is becoming increasing important as renewable energy sources become a significant part of the generation mix.  The quantity of electricity that can be transported over a specific line is a function of many variables.  In this edition of Vids4Grids we visit Oncor where they are employing Dynamic Line Ratings technology from Nexans North America to increase the capacity of their transmission system on a real time basis.  Listen to the experts describe this exciting technology on this YouTube post:  http://www.youtube.com/user/Vids4Grids?feature=mhee#p/u/0/P5tfSfTBNyk
