Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

DLR is a credible production option for suitable thermally constrained transmission lines.

Why
Multiple utilities have integrated DLR into operations and demonstrated capacity or congestion benefits, with gains varying by weather and network conditions.
Next
Assess candidate lines, validate ratings against conductor and facility limits, and establish telemetry fallbacks before operational dispatch.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Benefits depend on weather and whether thermal limits are the binding constraint.
  • Sensor coverage, forecast accuracy and calibration require validation.
  • EMS integration, cybersecurity and telemetry fallback processes are necessary.
  • Regulatory treatment and cost recovery can slow deployment.
  • Other facility or network limits can cap usable capacity gains.
