SMARTLINE (Dynamic Line Rating) DLR Software

To address and eliminate these concerns, the self-powered sensors used in Lindsey’s SMARLTINE next generation (Dynamic Line Rating)DLR system are available with an Iridium satellite radio communication option. This provides a direct data path from the sensor to the satellite, and from there to the SMARTLINE (DynamicLine Rating)DLR software via secure cloud-based communications.

The advantages of this approach?

·         The sensors are able to communicate the monitored data from any transmission span, regardless of location.

·         No additional communication infrastructure or equipment is required.

·         They are secure. The radio is built-in to the sensor and transmits only non-operational measured data (conductor temperature, line power, clearance-to-ground, and conductor vibration) directly to the DLR software.

·         The self-powered sensors eliminate the need for remote power sources.

Five Communication Issues Associated with Dynamic Line Rating

Five Communication Issues Associated with Dynamic Line Rating

Communications have long been a complicating issue for Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) systems.  Why?  DLR systems include a series of sensors installed on carefully selected transmission line spans in order to collect conductor information.

Here are five common communications issues common to traditional DLR systems.

1. Solar-charging: Some monitoring devices communicate through a battery-powered radio recharged via solar panels. A few days of cloudy or stormy weather, snow buildup, or even bird droppings can interfere with proper charging. As DLR requires continuous data feeds, the result is data dropout and compromised DLR system operation.
2. Remote installation: Optimizing a DLR system may require monitoring devices be installed on spans in remote locations, not close to existing communication infrastructure such as in remote or unpopulated areas. In this situation, devices dependent on cellular data modems impractical.
3. Improper Installation: Radio systems require proper antenna selection and alignment. Improper installation can result in data dropout.
4. Excess Complexity: Costly repeater radios may be required if the radio haul is long, increasing system complexity.
5. Cost: Microwave communication is not practical due to the size, cost, and power requirements of the equipment.
