What is it?
The line forecasting page provides accurate and statistically valid ampacity and temperature forecasts for monitored lines. This allows operators to regulate the capacity of their power lines safely and efficiently. By leveraging the power of forecasts, operators can become more proactive and respond quicker to contingency situations.
The forecasting page is designed to provide operators with the means to make operational decisions for monitored power lines.
Contents
The Forecasting page consists of two main components:
The forecasting plot contains both recent observations about line loading and temperature and forecasted values for line capacity and temperature for the selected time interval.
The meteogram contains both recent observations of weather, as well as forecasted values for the selected time interval for the following parameters
Ambient temperature (°C)
Precipitation (mm)
Wind speed (m/s)
Wind direction
The line forecasting page offers three separate models
Synapse RTR - Our proprietary DLR model is an optimized version of the CIGRE standard which uses neuron data (loading and line temperature) in addition to weather data as input.
CIGRE TB 601 - Weather based DLR
IEEE Std 738-2012 - Weather based DLR
The Synapse RTR model supports user-defined confidence intervals which express the certainty of the forecast provided. The following confidence intervals are supported
99%
95%
90 %
85 %
