DSRs FUNCTIONALITY
POWERLINE GUARDIANTM
Distributing Power Flow Control Enabling the Dynamic Grid of the Future
Overloads drive up generation costs and force you to shed load. But Smart Wires PowerLine Guardian TMis a fast
and simple solution. It pushes power away from heavily loaded lines to lines with available capacity, preventing
overloads, reducing generation costs and eliminating power outages.
PowerLine GuardiansTMfunction as distributed series reactors installed along the transmission line and are
attached directly to the conductor. The modules have been tested under a variety of conditions, including high
fault levels, field contingencies, and are expected to operate continuously for more than twenty years with no
maintenance. PowerLine GuardiansTMare currently operational on three high voltage transmission lines.
Power Flow ControlProvides incremental line impedance control, which when aggregated across the line,
can significantly change power flows
MonitoringSenses critical parameters such as conductor temperature, vibration, sag, fault location, and the
presence of geomagnetic induct current all of which greatly adds to the situational awareness of the grid.
Quick InstallationTypical PowerLine GuardianTMinstallations can be completed in less than one month
BenefitsPower flow control and monitoring delivered by PowerLine Guardians TMprovide various high value
applications.

INSTALLATION, TESTING
AND MAINTENANCE
Each DSR is packaged into a
wooden protective shipping
crate for deployment.
Prior to install the DSR may be
fully tested and provisioned in
the field while unassembled in
the crate.
The two halves are positioned
on the line and secured
together with a torque wrench
The devices run self diagnostics
and can be remotely tested
The devices are maintenance
free
SWG provides installation
