In Dynamic Line Rating Press Releases

Lindsey Joins WATT Coalition


PRESS RELEASE

SMARTLINE‐TCF®, Lindsey’s Transmission Capacity Forecasting system, is one such advanced technology
that assists utilities in transmitting more power over existing transmission lines.

November 7, 2017, Azusa, CA – Lindsey announces that it has joined the new Working for Advanced Transmission Technologies (WATT) coalition, a group of leading technology companies who have developed the tools and processes to enhance grid reliability and help alleviate the billions of dollars spent on transmission grid congestion.

“Various advanced technologies now exist that enable utilities to increase the flexibility of the existing network of electric transmission lines, or the grid, as it is commonly referred,” said Dr. Keith Lindsey, President. “Our next generation dynamic line rating system, SMARTLINE‐TCF, is one example. It informs a utility ‐ hours or days ahead of time ‐ how much power a transmission line can actually carry.”

Forecasts provided by the SMARTLINE‐TCF system enhance the traditional, fixed, line capacity rating that utilities around the world use when operating their grid. “The effect is to replace the network of fixed capacity transmission lines with a living, breathing,  network that reflects actual capacity,” said Jack McCall, Vice President at Lindsey.

“The WATT coalition is very pleased to have Lindsey as one of our founding members,” said Rob Gramlich, Executive Director of WATT. “Lindsey’s long‐standing dedication as an advanced solution provider to the industry is a real asset.”
