Hourly readings for wind speed based on ARMA model and ambient temperature and for July 18th 2012
Actual conductor loading for July 18th 2012 and calculated ampacity
10
Results:
o Highest ampacity calculated was 107% greater than manufacturers
rating and 197% higher than actual conductor loading
Constraints/ Limitations
Lack of real time updating of climatic data
More loading data needed for lines with climatic data available
Further Work
Effects of DLR on:
o system voltages and losses
o unit commitment
o contingency planning
o protection circuitry
Cost analysis

Conclusion
Electricity transmission traditionally limited by lines thermal limit

If line were operating below maximum allowable temperature before fault, the
heat storage capacity of the conductor allows it to tolerate a higher amount of
current for the duration of the fault.
