Conventionally, most Line Ratings are computed based on conservative assumptions about weather conditions, and are not regularly updated to reflect the actual impact of weather on such ratings. This causes problems such as congestion on the grid, compliance with FERC881, curtailment, and CAPEX deferral.
The traditional hardware-based approach to estimating and increasing line ratings is far from an exact science - and hardly economical. An alternative can be found in GE Vernova's Digital Dynamic Line Rating (DDLR) solution. With DDLR, real-time temperature and wind speed data from weather data providers are fed into algorithms that can dynamically adjust the line rating based on actual line conditions at any given time. DDLR technology can help increase transmission line capacity, reducing the need for new infrastructure and improving grid efficiency. It can also help reduce the risk of power outages by allowing transmission lines to safely operate at higher capacities.
Key Features within DDLR:
Full network coverage with a unique approach to combine GIS model into effective EMS rating calculation for the conductors and facilities.
A field sensor free computation of Realtime & 10-day Forecasted Dynamic Line Ratings in compliance with IEEE standards.
Two Configurable modes:
Basic FERC 881 Compliance mode: Ambient Adjusted Rating
Dynamic Line Rating mode - additional 20-30% system capacity
Computes Actual Dynamic Ratings for multiple modes (i.e. Normal, Emergency, N-Modes)
Configurable Effective Dynamic Ratings to comply with the FAC-008 (identifies next most limiting components) for the substation equipment.
Digital Dynamic Line Rating is designed to combine Geospatial Information System (GIS) and Energy Management System (EMS) asset data with weather data to generate ratings at high speed and volume. DDLR utilizes observed (measured) weather data and 10-day forecast, with accessible geospatial data (4X4 km grids) via cloud APIs will calculate entire network footprint in minutes. Flexible weather data ingestion is also available, with hourly refreshed values for temperature, wind speed, direction, and atmospheric conditions to dynamically calculate ratings.
Highlights
Enable data driven, intelligent, decision support through data visualization and GridOS to natively integrate with GE EMS (EMS agnostic*)
Optimize the efficiency and capacity of overhead transmission lines based on the active & forecast weather conditions.
Flexible data ingestion for line conductor models, GIS and EMS data to identify most limiting thermal limits for connected equipment in series for the Tx network.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing uses a single pricing dimension: an annual licensing fee. You pay one recurring fee each year to license the software under a contract. Pricing does not scale through separate tiers or instance sizes. You commit to the yearly term and pay the set fee per unit. This structure keeps billing predictable across the contract period, with no usage-based charges or add-on dimensions to track.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the annual licensing fee cover for this Digital Dynamic Line Rating software?
You license the GridOS Digital Dynamic Line Rating software for one year under a contract. This grid software supports software-driven grid management and helps utilities monitor line capacity in real time. The single annual fee covers use of the software for the committed term.
Is this billed upfront for the year, or do charges vary with usage?
You commit to a yearly term and pay the set licensing fee. There are no usage-based charges, hourly metering, or add-on dimensions. The fee stays fixed across the contract period, so your cost does not change with how much you use the software.
Does my cost change if my grid activity or data volume grows during the year?
No. The annual licensing fee is a flat amount and does not scale with grid activity, data volume, or instance size. Nothing meters your usage during the term. Your bill stays the same regardless of how heavily you use the software within the contract period.
