Assessment of the Impact of Dynamic Rating on Reliability Indices of Level II Systems

This paper presents the development of a dynamic rating model integrated within a Smart Grid environment. It addresses the integration of meteorological variables necessary for the operation of the dynamic rating model in real time and the storage of the historical values of the rating behavior for a transmission line. In addition, a reliability study structure is presented based on the Montecarlo method of sampling states. This study takes into account the use of dynamic line rating and the way in which the rating of the transmission lines varies according to the environmental conditions. The results of the simulation model and the conclusions of the effect on the reliability indices due to the use of dynamic rating on the transmission lines, are presented.
