ACCURACY OF FORECASTING
SCALABILITY & TRANSFERABILITY
WPL is a robust and resilient SaaS solution that is complementary with sensor-based systems, integrates with already deployed sensors and legacy systems, and can scale and enable increased grid capacity.
FLEXIBILITY & EFFICIENCY WITH ADVANCED SIMULATIONS
WPL gives users greater grid intelligence by providing enhanced data directly to control rooms and allowing operators to make decisions based on reliable data with less uncertainty about real-time ampacity limits. WPL can be deployed as a stand-alone application or fully integrated into the customer Energy Management System (EMS).

Identification of
critical spans
In the initial phase of deployment, WindSim Power identifies critical spans to inform and select optimal locations for installing weather monitoring systems. When deployed in real-time, WPL tracks and periodically reports on critical spans to let users of the system know where to focus more closely on asset monitoring.

Software as a Service (SaaS)
The Software as a Service enables faster and more secure deployment and integration of WPL. Users can access the data through the WPL web-based interface. The web interface allows users to view data associated with WPL, including forecasted gridded and time series meteorological data, DLR, and ambient adjusted ratings.

Scale with
Fewer Sensors
As a DLR solution, WPL is a unique, proprietary and scalable technology requiring fewer sensors on the transmissions line; as a result, it saves operational costs, enables increased grid capacity, and bridges to future demands.
Integrates with
legacy systems
Monitored data can be accessed through an operational data feed, such as a web-based service, or downloaded directly from the WindSim Power Line dashboard. WPL can be directly integrated with Energy Management Systems (EMS).
Increase capacity with
no extra CAPEX
WPL is a grid-enhancing technology that enables lines to be utilized more efficiently. WPL is an indirect, weather-based SaaS solution that doesn’t require expensive hardware.
