Ampacimon Launches FERC 881 Accelerator Program as Compliance Deadline Looms
2024年7月12日 - 10:46PM
With exactly 12 months left until the FERC 881 compliance deadline,
operators are under significant pressure to meet the mandates
within the stipulated timeframe. In response to this urgent
challenge, Ampacimon, the leading provider of grid monitoring and
analytics solutions for optimal operation of the world’s critical
energy infrastructure, is proud to announce its FERC 881 Compliance
Accelerator Program. This program is designed to support utilities
in achieving compliance and optimizing their energy grids,
providing a crucial solution to the pressing issue of the looming
deadline.
To support the eventual shift to Dynamic Line Ratings and to
enhance the efficient utilization of the U.S. transmission grid,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Agency (FERC) approved Order 881 on
December 16, 2021. It requires transmission service providers,
owners, and grid operators to implement accurate and dynamic
methods of transmission line ratings that can be adjusted
hourly. FERC 881 requires the adoption of Ambient Adjusted
Ratings (AAR) software and improved procedures to increase
transmission capacity.
Stephan Heberer, Ampacimon CEO, commented: “As the countdown to
the July 12, 2025, compliance deadline begins, the urgency to
implement AAR grows, not only for compliance but also to optimize
the nation's energy grid, extend its lifespan, and accelerate the
integration of clean energy sources. With a requirement for AAR,
FERC 881 also helps operators prepare for expected DLR
requirements, which will utilize the same software and procedures
as AAR with the added benefit of precise data from line DLR
sensors.”
Program to Help Operators Achieve Compliance in Six
Months
To facilitate the compliance journey for utilities, the
Ampacimon FERC 881 Acceleration Program offers a comprehensive
package of professional services and software in a pilot program
designed to inform operators’ FERC 881 strategy and accelerate the
path to compliance. The program includes:
- A complimentary, two-week assessment of two congested
transmission lines
- Ampacimon GridBoostTM Ambient Adjusted Ratings (AAR)
software to identify potential capacity gains
- A custom implementation plan to meet the July 12, 2025,
compliance deadline
- A detailed cost and benefit assessment of the right technology
mix, including AAR and/or DLR, to achieve optimal results and
compliance
- Hands-on collaboration with Ampacimon's professional services
and engineers throughout the process
“As the deadline approaches, operators are under increasing
pressure to assess compliance options, conduct pilot testing, and
implement required technologies and procedures. Leveraging our
defined FERC 881 assessment program, deep expertise, and
award-winning GridBoost AAR software, we are uniquely equipped to
design and implement FERC 881 compliance for utilities in as little
as six months,” concluded Mr. Heberer.
For a limited time, the FERC 881 Compliance Jump Start Program
is complimentary. Operators are invited to contact
Ampacimon to qualify.
