Lighting Up the Grid: Fiber Sensing for Resilience & Real-Time Line Rating

As Europe's power demand grows and climate extremes intensify, grid resilience and capacity are under pressure. This session explores how optical fiber sensing—leveraging existing fiber already deployed along power lines—offers a scalable solution. From real-time fault detection to weather-responsive operations and wildfire resilience, fiber-based monitoring enables smarter, faster decisions. Before new lines are built, Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) can unlock untapped capacity in the current grid. Join us to discover how continuous fiber sensing empowers a more resilient, efficient, and future-ready transmission network.
