GLASS: Real-Time Grid System Optimization

The General Line Ampacity State Solver (GLASS) is a software platform that enables advanced grid system operations and planning to be computed in real-time. It combines advanced sensors, communication and data transfer channels, secure and reliable data management, and real-time processing through a flexible system architecture. GLASS is designed to help resolve the problems associated with thermally limited transmission and distribution networks, precisely bare overhead power transmission lines. GLASS enables the methodology of Concurrent Cooling (Dynamic Line Rating) by reducing the need to use a cost-prohibited number of weather stations to achieve the resolution necessary for individual electric transmission line span capacity calculations. The target customers for GLASS are utilities engaged in advancing their power grid to take advantage of INL’s developed and tested real-time and forecasted dynamic line rating methodology. The system can be connected to virtually any other system and integrated with any utility enterprise system.
