Facility Rating

Facility Rating is a sensorless solution that enables system operators to manage electrical assets efficiently. It supports ambient-adjusted ratings through configurable lookup tables and delivers real-time and forecast data via SCADA protocols or APIs. Designed to help utilities comply with FERC 881 and NERC FAC-008, it also enhances operational reliability. The system ensures full auditability and offers flexible deployment, either on-premise or in the cloud, with seamless SCADA and EMS integration.

Ampacimon’s webinar offers a comprehensive introduction to the company’s sensorless DLR solutions for optimizing transmission capacity—focusing in part on GridBoost Facility Rating, Ampacimon’s Facility rating solution. This webinar is designed to help utilities understand how to comply with industry standards while also unlocking additional grid capacity and reducing congestion costs. The session explains how this approach enables utilities to manage all electrical assets and increase line capacity by up to 15% without installing physical sensors, making it ideal for broad, cost-effective deployment The webinar also places GridBoost Facility Rating in the broader context of Ampacimon’s GridBoost Suite, which includes:
  1. GridBoost Advanced: Adds forecasted wind data for more accurate AAR.
  2. GridBoost DLR: Uses line-mounted sensors for real-time Dynamic Line Ratings.

About DLR technology

Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) is an advanced technology used in electric power transmission to optimize the capacity of overhead power lines based on real-time environmental conditions. Unlike traditional static ratings, which rely on conservative assumptions, DLR adjusts the thermal capacity of transmission lines dynamically, enhancing efficiency and reliability. By continuously monitoring factors such as temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation, DLR systems can make real-time adjustments to the line's capacity, ensuring optimal performance under varying condition. Discover the power of Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) in optimizing electric power transmission. Learn how DLR works, explore different line capacity ratings, and understand the technologies and benefits of Dynamic Line Rating.
