Energy Systems – Operation of Power Grids
Work description
- Literature review and critical analysis of the state of the art in Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) and Dynamic Transformer Rating (DTR), focusing on physical fundamentals, calculation methodologies, and operational integration requirements. - Study and systematization of thermal rating models applicable to the project context, including a comparative analysis between IEEE 738 and CIGRÉ TB 601, and identification of the applicability conditions for each approach. - Support in defining and implementing data validation mechanisms, confidence states, alarm management, and traceability of results produced by the system. - Collaboration in the development and testing of dynamic rating calculation components for overhead lines, including processing of meteorological variables, evaluation of operating conditions, and implementation of conservative fallback modes when data quality justifies it.
