LineVision’s Grid-Enhancing Technology

Utility-grade sensors and software that power data-driven decision making for optimized grid operations

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

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

White Glove Customer Service

LineVision’s US-based team is there to help at every step of the way. From assisting in your integration plan, meeting your cybersecurity needs, ensuring smooth change management, and providing ongoing technical support for contract life.

Utilities That Trusted LineVision to Integrate into Their Systems

"National Grid installed LineVision’s Dynamic Line Rating system on four transmission lines in our New York region. The system is now operational and providing automated, condition-specific line ratings to our transmission control room. Dynamic Line Ratings are a start to helping us make decisions on how to plan and operate the grid, further unlocking renewables and reducing transmission congestion for New Yorkers."

Brian Gemmell

Chief Operating Officer Electric Operations, National Grid New York

"Having this level of visibility into the performance of our network helps us ensure a more responsive and flexible grid and arms us with the data to safely increase our lines' load. DLC is committed to investing in advanced grid technologies to maintain a reliable, safe and resilient grid for our customers and region."

FAQs

Are there any voltage or temperature limitations of your technology?

By mounting on towers, the LUX sensor has no voltage or temperature restrictions. Lines must be above 69 kV for DLR calculations.

Does the deployment of your sensors require an outage?

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.

How long does it take to install the sensors and get ratings from the system?

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.

Where are your sensors manufactured?

LineVision LUX sensors are assembled in New England, United States.

How do the sensors communicate their data?

LineVision sensors transmit data via a cellular and/or satellite connection.

How is your sensor powered?

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.

Does the sensor require maintenance?

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.

What happens if a sensor goes offline or fails to submit data?

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.
