DYNAMIC LINE RATINGS DEPLOYMENT ON THE ORKNEY SMART GRID

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses initial results from the assessment of the deployment of a dynamic line rating system on the Orkney Isles. The project described in this paper consists of extending the existing Active Network Management scheme through the inclusion of a dynamic line rating device and an accompanying real-time ratings estimation system, with the goal of exploiting the real time rating of the circuits located at constraint locations on the Orkney network.
