High-voltage transmission line capacity depends heavily on weather conditions such as temperature, wind, and solar radiation. Traditionally, grid operators rely on Static Line Rating, leaving much of the grid underutilized. 

The Belgian Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI), Elia, PropheSea, and GeoSphere Austria are developing a next generation pilot service for Dynamic Line Rating within ECMWF’s Destination Earth initiative. The pilot combines high-resolution, on-demand weather forecasts with DLR technology to optimize existing grid infrastructure, reducing the need for costly grid reinforcements.  

In our webinar, hosted by RMI, PropheSea, Elia and GeoSphere Austria, we’ll cover:  

• The advantages of DLR and its role in the energy transition 
• How our pilot integrates high-resolution weather forecasts with DLR technology  
• First insights and results from the project
• Interactive Q&A session
