“Grid technology start-up Electrical Grid Monitoring (EGM) has deployed its multi-sensing system on transmission lines to increase network capacity and integrate more renewable energy into the grid.
The Meta-Alert Grid Operation and Management System will collect data on over 60 parameters, from voltage to temperature, across a 161kV transmission line in the Middle East.
This will enable Dynamic Line Rating (DLR), which harnesses favourable weather conditions to safely boost grid capacity without power lines overheating, helping bring more renewable energy into the grid.”
