In 2024, National Grid operationalized the largest deployment of dynamic line ratings (DLR) in the United States and the first in New York State. With the additional transmission line capacity enabled by automated, condition-specific line ratings, National Grid can provide more homes and businesses with clean, renewable energy.

This panel will explore how National Grid evaluated considerations to operationalize, such as how the data is integrated with their control room and DLR’s role in planning. Attendees will come away with insights on how a fully integrated DLR project can benefit utilities and ratepayers.
