Overhead line monitoring

Optimum use of the transmission capacity of overhead power lines

TenneT is the first cross-border grid operator optimizing the overhead high-voltage lines (220/380 kV) by using a dynamic monitoring system. What makes the system special is that the network control centre calculates real-time the maximum loadability of the high-voltage lines, which is dependent upon the prevailing weather conditions. Meteorological data available online are used for this purpose.
