AREVA T&D announces the launch of the world’s first protection device with Dynamic Line Rating.  Embedded within MiCOM P341 Interconnection protection, this innovative new feature allows the thermal rating of lines to be dynamically monitored according to weather conditions, such as ambient temperature, wind direction and speed.

Ideally suited to Wind farms, where renewable energy production is often limited by traditional summer/winter ratings of the incoming overhead lines, dynamic rating has shown in recent trials to allow increased energy yields by as much as 50% and provides a cost effective solution to unnecessary additional investment in the capacity of overhead lines.
