NYPA Evaluation of Instrumentation and Dynamic Thermal Ratings for Overhead Lines - Interim Report

July 2011

The demand for electric power over transmission circuits is increasing at a faster rate than the construction of new transmission facilities. This trend is pushing the capacity of many transmission circuits to their design limits. The power capacity (i.e., the rating) of most overhead transmission lines is prescribed by the so-called "static rating" based on both the conductor configurations and the environmental conditions. Typically, very conservative worst-case assumptions about environmental conditions were used when developing these "static ratings." Due to this conservative approach, significant extra power capacity exists beyond the design margin on most lines most of the time.

Woodruff Electric Cooperative Case Study

July 2011

Woodruff Electric Cooperative (Woodruff) serves customers in seven eastern Arkansas counties. The proportion of residents living in poverty in those counties is more than double the national average. As a member-owned rural electric cooperative, Woodruff is connected to its customers and engaged in economic development efforts to bring more jobs and higher incomes to local communities. In order to bring the capital investment and its accompanying economic benefits to the region without delay, Woodruff completed its project installation ahead of schedule.

North American Synchrophasor Initiative (NASPI) Case Study

July 2011

August 14, 2003 was a typical hot summer day. Across the eastern U.S. air conditioners were humming keeping people cool as they went about their daily activities at home and work. In the afternoon, without warning, a series of power line failures in northern Ohio triggered a cascading set of events that led to the collapse of the grid in eight states and two Canadian provinces. The ?Northeast Blackout of 2003? ultimately affected 55 million people, cost billions of dollars, contributed to six deaths in New York City, and led to four million people in Detroit being under a ?boil water? alert for four days.
