Thinking Beyond the Conductor: Modernizing Facility Ratings for Today's Grid

Join us for an insightful webinar on "Thinking Beyond the Conductor: Modernizing Facility Ratings for Today's Grid." This session is designed for power grid operators, engineers, and industry professionals who are looking to enhance their understanding and management of electrical assets beyond just the conductors.

Key Topics:

Understanding the Issue:

• Operators are tasked with the critical job of pushing power from point A to point B. While implementing Ambient Adjusted Ratings (AAR) and Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) on the lines is common practice, it's essential to consider the other electrical assets that power must traverse. This segment will delve into the importance of a holistic approach to facility ratings.

Documenting Assets:

• Effective asset management begins with organization. Operators need to have a clear understanding of their electrical assets, including what they are, where they are located, and their limitations. This section will cover best practices for documenting and organizing electrical assets to ensure comprehensive oversight.

Identifying the Most Limiting Assets:

• Not all assets are created equal. Some may pose more significant limitations than others. Using smart software, operators can identify these critical bottlenecks, as required by standards such as FERC 881 in the US. This part of the webinar will explore how to leverage technology to pinpoint and address the most limiting assets in your grid.

Optimizing Asset Performance:

• With numerous standards like IEEE 738 applying to various assets, it's crucial to ensure that investments made to increase line capacity are not hindered by low-static rating equipment. This segment will discuss how smart software solutions can help optimize asset performance and ensure compliance with relevant standards.

Personalizing Facility Rating Software:

• Every grid is unique, and so are its requirements. Facility rating software must be customizable to allow operators to define their own inputs and set up their equipment according to specific needs. This final section will highlight the importance of personalization in facility rating software and how it can be achieved.

Who Should Attend:

• Power grid operators
• Electrical engineers
• Asset management professionals
• Industry regulators
• Anyone interested in modernizing facility ratings and improving grid reliability

Takeaways:

• A comprehensive understanding of the importance of considering all electrical assets in facility ratings.
• Best practices for documenting and organizing electrical assets.
• Insights into using smart software to identify and address limiting assets.
• Strategies for optimizing asset performance in compliance with various standards.
• The importance of customizable facility rating software for tailored grid management.
