Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Grid-Enhancing Technologies are a family of hardware and software tools that squeeze more usable capacity out of existing power lines instead of requiring new transmission to be built. Dynamic Line Rating, one such technology, continuously measures real-time weather conditions like wind speed and ambient temperature along a line and recalculates how much current it can safely carry at that moment, replacing a fixed, worst-case capacity assumption with a figure that reflects actual cooling conditions.
