Introduction: Fault and load monitor devices enhanced with temperature sensing capabilities implemented in order to utilise the true capacities of overhead line for use with generation connection schemes at 11kV.

Objectives: The project currently focuses on developing a system for monitoring temperature on 11kV overhead line networks. The delivered prototype will be a temperature monitor that can be installed, assessed and evaluated in a number of locations throughout the network.
