Assessment and Evaluation of Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs)
With demand for new electricity generation rapidly rising — amid long timelines for planning and building new transmission lines — utilities, regional grid operators, state regulators, and many other stakeholders are increasingly seeking options for expanding transmission capacity on the existing grid. Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETS) are hardware and/or software that dynamically increase the capacity and reliability of existing power lines at a faster pace and lower cost than building new lines. This technical report, prepared by Electric Power Engineers for the American Council on Renewable Energy, in partnership with the Working for Advanced Transmission Technologies Coalition, provides detailed guidelines on how three commercially available GETs — Dynamic Line Ratings, Advanced Power Flow Control, and Transmission Topology Optimization — can be integrated into grid planning and operations, enabling both the system and its customers to reap the benefits of early adoption and enhanced functionality.
