FLEXIBILITY & EFFICIENCY WITH ADVANCED SIMULATIONS

Grid related outages cost a $54 billion loss in US GDP in 2021.

As energy demands rise so do the cost of outages.

Dynamic Line Ratings can alleviate grid congestion and enable more power from the existing infrastructure.

FERC 881

Operating Companies must be compliant with FERC Order 881 by July 12, 2025.

This will require the capability to develop, implement, and communicate Ambient Adjusted Ratings hourly for all assets over which Transmission Service Operates.

WindSim Power is working with utilities to enable full compliance of FERC Order 881 efficiently and cost effectively.

The WindSim Power Line Solution is fully compliant with regulatory standards: The AAR solution is fully compliant with FERC Order 881 and NERC Standards (FAC-008 and CIP-002). This compliance ensures legal and operational adherence to industry requirements, providing peace of mind and reducing regulatory risks.

Our latest innovation features these key components: Secure weather service located in the cloud that collects weather sensor data and weather forecasts. The on-prem calculations utilize this service to retrieve the weather-related data necessary for the calculation of DLR and AAR. A lightweight IEEE 738 / CIGRE solver, incorporated in-line equipment calculations, seamless Energy Management Systems (EMS) integration, and assistance with required reporting capabilities. Each element of this offering works in concert to create a holistic solution.
