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%;
