Transmission

LineAware
Ensure lines are within safe operating limits with real-time alerting on threats to grid reliability or public safety. LineVision’s sensors and analytics measure sag, blowout, and line loading on all phases, measure ambient weather conditions, and provide icing risk and detection alerts.

LineRate Suite
Reliably and safely increase the capacity on transmission lines by up to 40% with advanced line ratings. LineRate DLR leverages computational fluid dynamics and sensor-based data that is continuously refined using machine learning. LineRate AAR+ utilizes or more non-contact sensors are installed at critical locations to verify ratings aren't overestimated, increasing grid capacity while ensuring safety & resilience.

LineHealth
Improve asset management by using digital twin models to understand conductor health and prioritize maintenance of critical assets. LineHealth measures loss of strength from annealing, sag distributions, sag/temperature relationship curves, conductor elongation, breaking strength, Aeolian vibration risk, conductor temperature, and conductor temperature limits while providing end-of-life projections.

The tFITS™ is an optical fiber the size of a human hair, in lengths of up to thousands of feet, is embedded throughout a device, deep inside its core. Laser pulses are fired down the fiber, and the reflected frequency of the laser light is analysed to produce information about the health and status of the equipment Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA). The fiber itself is a sensor, not merely a lead or wire for a point sensor, allowing temperature and strain to be measured over the length of the fiber. This allows utilities to detect what is going on deep inside the device, in real time. tFITs does not produce electromagnetic emissions and is immune to EMI/RF, and special high temperature or harsh environment fibers are also available. The tFITS™ solution is compatible with all utility communication protocols, allowing assets to become IoT-enabled devices.

Sentient Energy's Grid Analytics System covers the entire distribution network with quickly deployed intelligent sensors and analytics that detect and analyze potential faults and grid events.
