Dynamic Line Rating of Transmission Circuits Request for Information

Tender description

SSEN are charged with the responsibility to connect multiple geographically dispersed renewable generation sites to the transmission network in order to meet the UK stated goal of a transition to net zero carbon emissions. To meet these objectives SSEN require flexible and agile solutions to facilitate these connections in a cost effective and timely fashion. In response to these challenges, SSEN are exploring the nature and scope of opportunities that may be realised by the implementation of a Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) system. In the context of this information WE request the following requirements will be met. 2.1 Device requirements 2.1.1 The monitoring device should be self-powered either by harvesting power via line current or standalone local power source such as solar. If a standalone local power source is used it shall provide 2.3.4 Must have a front end user interface that can be accessed to display monitoring data and calculated ratings. This system must also provide an option to export historical monitoring data Lot 1: installation to a live operational DLR system on two circuits
