Castor, Tonko, Casten, Heinrich, Smith Urge FERC To Help Deploy Advanced Grid Technologies
The letter urges FERC to review existing incentives and correct disincentives for the deployment of several advanced transmission technologies, including:
- Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) systems, which use sensors to provide real-time line information;
- Topology Optimization Software, which assists system operators in minimizing congestion and improving efficiency on existing grid assets;
- Advanced Power Flow Controllers, which allow operators to change the direction power flows on existing transmission lines; and
- Advanced Conductors, which are high-voltage, modernized power lines that can help reduce line losses by 25-40%;
Castor, Tonko, Casten, Heinrich, Smith Urge FERC To Help Deploy Advanced Grid Technologies
“We urge you to promote the deployment of strategies that would help move more clean electricity over the existing electric grid and would complement your efforts on transmission planning, cost allocation, and generator interconnection,”
