Promethean Devices provides a non-contact Transmission Line Monitoring System and a Transfer Capability Optimization Solution. Ground-based, and deployed in existing ROWs without the need for outages, utility field crews, and heavy or specialized equipment, the Real-Time Monitoring System simultaneously determines phase currents, conductor temperature, clearance, and ampacity, and wirelessly transmits this information to secure servers. The Real-Time Optimization Solution consists of a number of Monitoring Systems methodically distributed under key sections of a transmission line; the Solution determines the maximum thermal capacity of the target line and reports this to system operators as the Real-Time Dynamic Ampacity (Real-time Rating). Promethean Devices serves stakeholders in Transmission Planning, Operations, Reliability (including compliance and reporting), T & D Asset Management, and Bulk Power Delivery.
