Cable system monitor

The cable system monitor (CSM) has been designed to provide grid system managers with real-time computation of the load carrying capacity of selected cable circuits on the system. The increased thermal ratings that can be derived from the use of the CSM defer capital expenditure, reduce generation restrictions or the need for running security plant, allow greater access to the system for construction and maintenance, and postpone the need for re-negotiating wayleave consents. The significant advantage with the new monitor is the ability to retrieve the archived loading history so that similar days can be compared
