LineVision’s sensor-based monitoring calculates a dynamic line rating, which allows utilities to accurately understand how much energy they can safely transmit and take advantage of the wind’s cooling effect on lines, increasing capacity on existing lines by 15 to 40 percent. . Located in Somerville, Mass.,
Direct Theft When consumers bypass the meter using an illegal connection mechanism, consumption patterns might flag such anomalies as when there is a change in outside temperature but no corresponding change in electrical use — i.e. when a heat wave occurs but there is no increase in cooling-related electrical use. In-The-Field Validation.
