New feature: Dynamic Line Rating
Dynamic line rating (DLR) reduces congestion on power lines, optimizes asset utilization, improves efficiency, and reduces costs. This increases solar and wind integration, reduces curtailment for these Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) sources, and makes power generation dispatch more cost-effective.
DLR refers to the active varying of presumed thermal capacity for overhead power lines in response to environmental and weather conditions. The result is a maximum thermal capacity for each hour based on changes in temperature, solar irradiation, and wind speed.
Transmition lines capacity estimation
DLR estimation via Time Series Lab enables the better use of the existing grid by taking advantage of shifting weather conditions and their effects on power lines' thermal capacity.
Thermal limits calculation
All relevant transmission line operation dynamics are represented chronologically through Static Line Rating (SLR) and Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) approaches, based on a simplified transmission capacity estimation model.
Interactive circuit visualization
Circuits are exhibited on the interactive map in TSL's interface, providing unique UX experience while visualizing transmission line paths.
Import Tracing Data
The user provides TSL with a Geojson file containing all possible circuit tracings, and then associate each defined transmission line in SDDP with a specific tracing.
Auxiliary outputs and methods
TSL now enables the user to export multiple raw meteorological data originated from the reanalysis database and explore new statistics and features with improved data integration.
Modern and innovative map layers
Visualize brand new map layers, related to generation capacity, fatigue loads, roughness length, and more, enabling a further detailed analysis on power generation factors.
New auxiliary outputs
Export specific/auxiliary meteorological data for VRE plant locations.
Force correlation with hydros
The user is now able to force correlation between renewable and hydro stations.
Stand-alone mode
TSL may now be used decoupled from SDDP, allowing the user access TSL's Renewable modelling capabilities without opening SDDP's interface.
Add/Remove plants in TSL's interface
This version now enables the user to add or remove renewable plants through the interface menu, enhancing its flexibility to manipulate case studies.
Adjust the number of synthetic scenarios
The user will be able to modify the number of synthetic scenarios generated, directly via TSL's interface.
Modify the size of horizon
In addition, it is now possible to adjust the time horizon of studies, altering inital and final years and number of stages through the simulations.
