Weather data for dynamic line rating

Hyperlocal weather observations and forecasts for grid operators and utilities.

Unlock grid capacity with accurate local weather intelligence

Dynamic line rating (DLR) depends on precise, real-time weather data to safely increase grid capacity and reduce congestion. Xweather Optimize delivers hyperlocal weather observations and forecasts over a secure API for seamless integration with DLR software and grid operating systems.

Measure what’s happening at every critical span

Weather conditions can vary dramatically along a transmission line. Xweather Optimize captures these local variations, delivering precise observations for critical spans and a comprehensive view of conditions along the entire line.

Real-time observations

Install Vaisala AtmoCast sensors at your critical spans to measure real-time wind speed, wind direction, and ambient temperature. These compact, wireless devices offer industry-leading accuracy, easy installation, and hassle-free operation, using the same sensor technology trusted by meteorological agencies worldwide.

  • Wireless NB-IoT communication for easy setup and connectivity

  • Battery powered with solar charging for year-round operation

  • Easily mounted on towers without having to power down the line

Hyperlocal forecasts

Xcast technology combines your local sensor data with machine learning to deliver forecasts that are up to 50% more accurate. Updates every 15 minutes help you make informed decisions with the latest information, while confidence intervals let you plan for a range of scenarios instead of relying on a single number.
