Ampacimon speaks at T&D World Live 2025

‍

Ampacimon is proud to announce its participation in T&D World Live 2025, taking place from September 23 to 25 at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale in Phoenix, Arizona. This premier event brings together utility leaders, grid innovators, and technology providers to address the evolving challenges of the transmission and distribution sector.

‍

As a global leader in Dynamic Line Rating (DLR), Ampacimon will be co-hosting a presentation with PPL Electric Utilities to teach how how DLR is transforming grid operations across the United States and beyond.

‍

Featured presentation: security and reliability through DLR

‍

Ampacimon is honored to co-present with Horst Lehman, Senior Manager at PPL Electric Utilities, during a featured session at T&D World Live: “Implementing Dynamic Line Rating: Key Considerations for Security and Reliability”

‍

Date: Tuesday, September 24

‍

Location: Main Stage, Renaissance Phoenix Glendale

‍

This session will explore how DLR can be deployed to not only increase transmission capacity but also strengthen grid security, reduce congestion, and support real-time operational decisions. Drawing from PPL’s pioneering deployment of DLR in the U.S., the talk will highlight lessons learned, technical considerations, and the strategic value of integrating DLR into control systems and market operations.

‍

What is Dynamic Line Rating?

‍

Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) is a real-time grid optimization technology that adjusts the thermal capacity of transmission lines based on actual environmental conditions—such as wind speed, temperature, and solar radiation. Unlike static ratings, which rely on conservative assumptions, DLR enables utilities to safely push more power through existing infrastructure.

‍

Ampacimon’s DLR solutions are trusted by utilities worldwide to:

‍

• Increase transmission capacity by up to 40%
• Improve grid reliability and situational awareness
• Reduce congestion and defer costly upgrades
• Enhance safety and compliance with clearance limits

Sensor-based and software-only DLR solutions

‍

Ampacimon offers two complementary approaches to Dynamic Line Rating:

‍

Sensor-based DLR

‍

Our sensor-based systems use real-time measurements of conductor sag, tension, and vibration to calculate accurate line ratings. These systems are ideal for critical spans and high-voltage corridors where precision and safety are paramount.

‍

At the heart of our sensor-based offering is Sense X, a next-generation DLR sensor designed for drone installation. With its patented vibration analysis and wireless connectivity, Sense X enables utilities to deploy DLR quickly and safely—without line shutdowns or manual intervention.

Sensorless DLR

^‍

Ampacimon’s sensorless solutions—such as Ambient Adjusted Rating (AAR) and Facility Rating—leverage weather data and advanced modeling to deliver dynamic ratings without physical hardware. These software-only systems are fast to implement, cost-effective, and scalable across entire networks.

‍

Real-world impact: case studies from the U.S.

‍

Ampacimon’s technologies are deployed in over 24 countries, with a growing footprint in the United States. One of our most notable success stories comes from PPL Electric Utilities, which became the first U.S. utility to integrate DLR into real-time and market operations.

‍

PPL Electric case study highlights

‍

• Objective: Solve congestion on three historically overloaded 230 kV lines
• Deployment: 75 sensors across 186 km of transmission lines
• Results:
  
  • Up to 16% capacity gain
  • Over $23 million saved in congestion costs
  • $50 million rebuild cost avoided
  • Real-time ratings integrated into dispatch and market forecasting tools

This project demonstrates how DLR can be a strategic asset for utilities seeking to optimize performance, reduce costs, and maintain reliability under increasing grid stress.

‍

Why DLR matters for grid security

‍

Beyond capacity optimization, Dynamic Line Rating is a powerful tool for grid security. By providing real-time visibility into line conditions, DLR helps operators:

• Detect overheating and prevent line failures
• Respond to N-1 contingency scenarios with confidence
• Avoid unnecessary curtailments of renewable energy
• Maintain safe clearance margins under dynamic loads

‍

DLR also supports resilience planning, enabling utilities to adapt to extreme weather events and evolving load patterns with greater agility.
