The Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) has launched a aviator task to instrumentality Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) exertion connected the 220 kV Puttenahalli–Sahakarnagar transmission corridor successful Bengaluru. This exertion reportedly helps to heighten the transmission capableness by up to 25% without immoderate further superior concern successful caller infrastructure.
V. Ram Prasath Manohar, Managing Director, KPTCL, said, “The Letter of Intent for the task has already been issued, making KPTCL 1 of the archetypal State transmission utilities successful South India to follow the precocious technology. The inaugural is aimed astatine unlocking further capableness from the existing transmission web without constructing caller towers oregon acquiring further land.”
Mr. Manohar further explained, “The DLR strategy replaces the accepted Static Line Rating methodology with a real-time monitoring model powered by precocious IoT-enabled sensors. These sensors continuously show captious parameters specified arsenic ambient temperature, upwind speed, star radiation, and conductor sag, enabling grid operators to dynamically measure and optimise transmission enactment capableness based connected existent upwind conditions.”
The Puttenahalli–Sahakarnagar 220 kV enactment has been selected arsenic the aviator corridor to validate the technology’s operational benefits. Based connected the results, the KPTCL plans to measure deployment crossed different high-load transmission corridors and renewable vigor evacuation networks crossed the State.
Meanwhile, K.J. George, Minister for Energy, said, “Karnataka continues to pb the state successful adopting innovative technologies successful the powerfulness sector. The DLR task being implemented connected the Puttenahalli–Sahakarnagar corridor volition alteration america to maximise the utilisation of the existing transmission infrastructure and importantly heighten grid capacity. This inaugural volition assistance conscionable the State’s increasing powerfulness request without requiring large superior investments and volition play a cardinal relation successful gathering a future-ready energy network.”
