Everything Karthik Rao said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
LineVision's sensor technology increases transmission line capacity by up to 40 percent
“LineVision has a technology, it's a combination of soft Square and sensors that allows us to increase the capacity of a transmission line by up to 40% or more without having to either reconductor the line or build new lines.”
A Mid-Atlantic utility is deploying the world's largest dynamic line rating project
“Four or five years later, that utility is a trusted partner of ours, and they are currently deploying the largest DLR project in the world.”
EMF sensors proved inefficient for monitoring multi-conductor transmission corridors
“You can imagine trying to use EMF sensors to isolate the signal from each of those individual conductors and all the complicated map that goes into it. And long story short, that got really messy really quickly and was not kind of an efficient way to get the i…”
Commercial load growth is the primary driver forcing utilities to adopt technology
“Increasingly the one that we see Most often is around load growth when there's potentially new commercial load growth happening in their service territory. The last thing they want to do is to say, you know, we don't have that capacity. We're essentially turni…”
LineVision's on-premises architecture prevents external hacking of dynamic line ratings
“All of the actual calculations for the ratings are happening in their environment, and this is really important because what they don't want is some bad actor with malicious intent kind of hacking into the system, changing the ratings, and potentially causing …”
Because utilities do not compete, proven technologies can see hockey-stick adoption
“And one of the things that's nice about how utilities think is while they Do tend to move slowly initially. They're also not in competition with one another, which means that when they do find something that works and is repeatable, they talk to one another an…”
Utilities will not adopt new technology just because a pilot succeeded
“One thing that we've recognized is that at the end of the day, utilities are not going to adopt something because a pilot was successful in and of itself, nor are they going to adopt it because the technology is interesting or cool.”
LineVision bypasses utility innovation departments to sell directly to operational executives
“As we get to more of the phase that we're maybe entering in now in the life cycle of our company, where we have a number of proof points and we know that the category is well understood, we don't necessarily have to engage with innovation departments in order …”
Utility technology adoption starts with IOUs before trickling down to co-ops
“I think the natural adoption within the marketplace, and this is probably true of most utility technologies, is that it tends to start with the bigger ones, and as the ease of deployment and cost starts to come down and all of that good stuff happens, some of …”
Wind's cooling effect has the biggest impact on transmission line capacity
“It turns out that it's the cooling effect of wind that actually has the biggest impact on the capacity of the line, and so understanding wind at a really accurate hyperlocal level allows us to understand what that true capacity is”
LiDAR conductor monitoring delivers more accurate dynamic line ratings
“And so, using that type of information was kind of the next generation of our product, That allowed us to get more accurate readings of the behavior of the conductor and ultimately be able to provide the dynamic line rating.”
LineVision can install its transmission grid monitoring sensors in 15 minutes
“We can install our sensors in like, 15 minutes, right?”
LineVision bid on a $750K utility RFP with just $2M in capital
“We knew that there was about 750 K tied to this deal, which for a company that's operating off of two million, you can kind of appreciate just the scale.”
