How it works

1. Grid assesment
Our team conducts an in-depth evaluation of your grid, considering factors like line length, environmental conditions, and transmission load. This allows us to tailor a sensor deployment strategy that ensures comprehensive data collection and grid optimization, maximizing capacity with minimal cost.
1. Sensor installation
Designed for ease of use, the LKX-MULTI sensors can be installed by your own team using a bucket truck or drones. Once in place, the sensors immediately begin streaming real-time data, giving you instant insights into key grid conditions without any disruption to your operations.
1. Real-time Streaming of Data
Continuous monitoring of key environmental and line-specific data points such as wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature, line current, and ground clearance. This real-time data allows for dynamic adjustments to your grid’s capacity, ensuring safe and optimal performance under changing conditions.
1. Forecasting and capacity optimization
Use advanced forecasting tools to predict available capacity hours and days ahead—enabling smarter planning and operational decisions. Get notified when capacity thresholds are reached or operating conditions change. Integrate seamlessly with existing grid management systems.

Direct Wind Measurements for Accurate Line Ratings

Measure what matters - right on the line

Wind is the most significant factor in conductor cooling, directly influencing transmission capacity. While weather APIs struggle to estimate wind conditions accurately, the LKX-MULTI measures wind speed and direction directly from the conductor in real time. This ensures precise Dynamic Line Ratings, helping you safely unlock up to 40% more capacity without risking overheating or line damage.

Weather Models vs. Real Measurements

Why settle for estimates when you can have the facts?

Weather APIs work for basic temperature estimates, but when it comes to wind—responsible for up to 80% of conductor cooling—they fall short. Studies show API-based DLR calculations miss nearly 40% of critical variance compared to direct measurements.

How Many Sensors Do You Need?

Don't worry, our expert team guides you step by step to ensure your grid is fully covered. Here are five criteria we use to determine the number of sensors needed.

Intuitive User Interface for Effortless Navigation

Real-time reports on ampacity

Advanced analytics for data-driven decision-making

Robust Data Security Measures

Is the terrain mountainous or flat?

Terrain can impact clearance, so sensors should be placed at critical points where low clearance or varying terrain could affect line safety and performance.

Are there different conductor sections?

Ensure each conductor section, especially limiting ones, has at least one sensor to monitor performance.

Is wind significant in certain areas?

Position sensors where wind significantly affects line cooling, with fewer sensors on straighter sections.

Does temperature vary along the line?

Since temperature variations are minimal over shorter distances, it’s sufficient to place sensors approximately every 10 km to monitor these changes.

Are your power lines in wildfire-prone areas?

Utilities often place sensors for other reasons beyond DLR.
