The temperature development on a high voltage power line indicates whether the line can still handle the transportation of additional energy or not. This is especially relevant in the context of smart grids: smart grids combine a great number of decentralised energy sources. But especially in the fields of renewable energy sources the amount of energy produced fluctuates. To hold the balance between power generation and power consumption, it is crucial to monitor the power lines’ capacity.

emo is a reliable monitoring system for overhead power lines. For the first time, it enables the recording of power cable temperatures with economically low effort. The transmission capacity of the supply network down to individual sections becomes transparent for energy suppliers and enables even more efficient and economical operation of the existing cable infrastructure.

• Exact, validated recording of the temperature directly on the rope
• Efficient utilisation of the network infrastructure
• More efficient maintenance processes through a central monitoring system
