White Paper: Reliability and real time transmission line ratings (Click here to open paper.)

This white paper provides a detailed overview of the capabilities of The Valley Group's monitoring products.

 

NERC Case Study (Click here to open document)

According to Power Outage Task Force's Recommendation 27: "NERC should develop clear unambiguous requirements for the calculation of transmission line ratings including dynamic ratings."

 

Tennessee Valley Authority (Click here to open document)

This project prevented a transmission capital investment in excess of $25,000,000.

 

Kansas City Power & Light (Click here to open document)

Kansas City Power & Light was able to safely and reliably operate this line up to 16% above its static rating for 167 hours, recovering the cost of the entire CAT-1 system project in a matter of days!

 

Increased Thermal Capacity When Its Needed Most (Click here to open document)

A common observation from real-time rating systems is that daytime ratings typically exceed nighttime ratings, which is both conterintuitive and contrary to most day/night rating methods. Our system "enables the conductor to carry more load during the day, which is when capacity is generally needed most."
