The objectives of EGM’s range of applications are to help the utility Lower O&M expenses, Reduce Wildfire Risk, Optimize Grid Capacity, Improve Performance Indexes, and Reduce Outages
EGM’s Meta-Alert® provides utilities with the data and applications to determine the ambient adjusted rating (AAR), helping them determine a ten-day forecast of current capacity on transmission lines. This helps utilities comply with FERC 881 standards. In addition, the application also allows utilities to determine real-time DLR measurements.
When transmission capacity is constrained, operators may be forced to use more expensive or less efficient generation options. These higher costs could be passed on to consumers’ monthly electric bills.
Overloading can cause wires to stretch, and come into contact with objects This can lead to shorts, reduced system integrity, and wire breakage.
EGM’s Meta-Alert can help alleviate congestion and expose untapped grid capacity.
