# Unlock Full Grid Capacity with Mobile Dynamic Line Rating

Increase the capacity of existing lines with real-time conductor data. Swiftly deploy sensors in bottlenecks to resolve congestion.

## How we are different

### Redeployable

Why install a permanent sensor for a temporary congestion issue? Nomadic units can be redeployed across different circuits as load patterns change, providing the flexibility to manage the energy transition without over-investing in fixed hardware.

## Capabilities

### Complete DLR data suite

###### Conductor Temperature

Direct contact measurement of conductor surface temperature the most critical DLR input.

###### Line Sag Measurement

Real-time sag monitoring via onboard sensors to ensure clearance compliance.

###### Vibration Analysis

Aeolian vibration and conductor galloping detection for structural health monitoring.

###### Current Measurements

Measure the actual current throughput at any given time

## Advantage

### The Mobile Advantage

Most utilities operate based on "Static Line Ratings". Conservative, worst-case weather assumptions that leave up to 70% of grid capacity unused. Traditional DLR sensors are hard-wired, expensive to install, and require line de-energization, making them difficult to scale across a fluctuating network.

Nomadic Drones provide a mobile, continuous monitoring system that requires no external power. Our drone lands on the conductor, locks in, and charges from the line’s field, providing the high-fidelity data needed to safely increase current limits during peak demand.

## How it works

### From Detection to Action

**Step 1**  
Drone deployed  
Pilot deploys drone on power line in 5 minutes by flying above power line

**Step 2**  
Real-time monitoring  
Drone sits on power line for extended time monitoring line conditions

**Step 3**  
Capacity limits updated  
Data captured by the drone is automatically sent to Nomadic App for analysis

**Step 4**  
Grid throughput optimized  
Grid Operator updates parameters to optimize throughput

## The system

### Physics-Based Monitoring

By measuring sag, temperature, and vibration directly on the conductor, we replace theoretical models with empirical reality. This allows operators to safely push 15-30% more power through existing lines, deferring millions in upgrades.

Using high-accuracy inertial measurement units, we measure sag and clearance to high precision. This ensures that as you increase capacity, you never compromise safety margins or clearance regulations.

### Integrity Monitoring

The onboard sensor suite tracks conductor vibration (aeolian) and galloping events in real-time. This ensures that increased power flow does not compromise the physical stability of the line or accelerate mechanical fatigue.
