There are two existing projects relating to Line Tracker and its development to include measurement of conductors and ambient temperatures, higher voltage and conductor applications. Line Tracker data can be downloaded locally via wireless link to a laptop and remote communications and event notification can be established via GSM / GPRS communications. Data is to be held in a database for historic review (for network planning) and interfaced with CRMS for real-time load and event notification (faults and system operation). It is not thought that Line Tracker would be deployed on a widescale basis but at critical network points at all high voltage levels due to generation, faults and conductor rating limitations for both normal and abnormal running.
