LineVision’s Grid-Enhancing Technology
Utility-grade sensors and software that power data-driven decision making for optimized grid operations
LineVision LUX
The industry’s most widely installed sensor, LineVision LUX™ is an American designed, engineered, and assembled non-contact LIDAR platform that mounts quickly and securely to transmission structures rather than to live lines. This patented technology dramatically increases the safety, operational efficiency, and accuracy of data collected without interfering with the conductors.
The Non-Contact, No Outage Sensor
Non-contact sensor eliminates the need for expensive installation equipment, high-risk line crew work, or customer outages
LiDAR technology monitors all phases of multiple circuits and bundled conductors with just one sensor
Sensors collect granular real-time data, which train and validate LineVision methodologies and machine learning models for the most precise readings
Stainless steel enclosure and long-lasting Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiPO4) battery ensure lifetime reliability
Modularized assembly increases installation efficiency, ease of maintenance, and ensures flexibility for evolving regulatory requirements
Designed, assembled, and tested in the US in harsh environmental conditions to guarantee a full hardware maintenance warranty for the life of contract

Data Portal
Flexible access to your data through a secure, cloud-based portal or hybrid on-prem option
Security-First Data Integration
Having previously integrated DLR into utility EMS systems with multiple partners, LineVision offers multiple options for operationalization based on your specific security need
On-Premise
Line Ratings are calculated fully on-premise in the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)/SCADA environment
Utility Cloud
Line Ratings are calculated in the utility’s corporate environment in tandem with our weather API
We also offer a manual option in which line ratings are calculated in the LineVision Cloud and input into the SCADA/EMS system

FAQs
By mounting on towers, the LUX sensor has no voltage or temperature restrictions. Lines must be above 69 kV for DLR calculations.
The installation of LineVision sensors never requires an outage. The LUX sensor mounts safely to the leg of transmission towers outside of the NESC clearance zone.
LineVision sensors are installed on towers in under 30 minutes. Sensor calibration and model quality checks are conducted to ensure ratings accuracy. Ratings are typically delivered no more than 90 days from sensor installation.
LineVision LUX sensors are assembled in New England, United States.
LineVision sensors transmit data via a cellular and/or satellite connection.
LineVision LUX is powered by solar power with a backup Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery. Solar panel configuration is determined by install location and is scoped to ensure consistent power worldwide. LUX’s design ensures sensor availability through line outages and low-loading scenarios.
LineVision systems are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. The LUX device has onboard diagnostics to notify LineVision support staff. Any hardware replacements are covered under the warranty included in all LineAware service agreements.
LineVision will continue to provide robust line ratings in the event of a sensor outage - the model falls back to an environmental DLR using CFD-enhanced weather data.
