Abstrakt: Real-time monitoring allows the determination of the line state and the calculation of the actual rating value. The real-time monitoring systems measure sag, conductor tension, conductor temperature, or weather-related magnitudes. In this paper, a new ampacity monitoring system for overhead lines, based on the conductor tension, the ambient temperature, the solar radiation, and the current intensity is presented. The measurements are transmitted via general-packet radio service to a control center where a software program calculates the ampacity value. The system takes the creep deformation experienced by the conductors during their lifetime into account and calibrates the tension-temperature reference and the maximum-allowable temperature in order to obtain the ampacity. The system includes hardware implementation and remote-control software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
