Monitor conductor strain, temperature and vibration across the full length of the line, with high location precision.
Detect anomalies, predict failures, optimize dynamic line ratings, and unlock AI-driven insights.
Turn real-time intelligence into smarter decisions that reduce risk and improve grid performance.
The wealth of data collected directly from the GridVista™ System’s embedded sensors, paired with Google Cloud and Tapestry’s suite of AI-powered tools, will create actionable insights that reduce risk and optimize grid performance.
Use continuous insight into line conditions to manage capacity with greater confidence, grounded in actual operating conditions—not assumptions.
Detect and respond to critical, abnormal, real-time line events such as faults, overloads, sag violations, and wildfires for immediate operational response and post-event analysis.
Schedule day-ahead operations and outages, manage congestion, and use direct ambient adjusted ratings (DAAR) for regulatory compliance.
Monitor long-term degradation and external stressors, replace calendar-based inspections with condition-based maintenance, and reduce O&M costs.
Identify thermal constraints, evaluate headroom for new loads, and model future scenarios to support long-term infrastructure planning.
A High-strength optical fiber inside the ACCC® Conductor continuously monitors strain, temperature, and vibration across the full line.
Comprehensive data from the conductor is continuously gathered by interrogators for processing and analysis.
Interrogators send processed data to the GridVista™ Software platform via encrypted channels, ensuring continuous access and system-wide integration.
The platform analyzes data to detect faults, assess health, and generate predictive alerts—supporting dynamic ratings and operational optimization
Utilities gain actionable insights to respond quickly, manage capacity, improve reliability, and plan maintenance with confidence.
The GridVista™ System transforms transmission lines into data-rich assets, uniquely integrating embedded fiber sensing and advanced analytics with the ACCC® Conductor to improve reliability and reduce cost. It delivers continuous, high-resolution data across the full length of the conductor, providing utilities with precise visibility into line conditions and enabling rapid, data-driven decision-making.
By providing continuous, real-time monitoring and fault detection, the GridVista™ System helps identify issues before they lead to significant problems and can pinpoint the location of events, reducing response and repair time. This proactive approach ensures that the grid remains stable and reliable.
The GridVista™ System collects and analyzes data on multiple variables, including temperature, distributed strain, span-specific sag, ice loading, hot spots, fire awareness, capacity available, aeolian vibration and galloping, lightning strikes, corona discharge, point loading, line parting and risk, bottleneck locations, and overall line health index.
By analyzing laser pulses transmitted down the optical fiber within the conductor core, the GridVista™ System continuously monitors and alerts operators to critical, real-time anomalies along the line—including faults, overloads, span temperature irregularities, sag violations, potential wildfire indicators, and wind-induced vibrations. These alerts enable rapid operational response and support thorough post-event analysis.
GridVista™ is an enterprise reliability solution that benefits multiple critical functions within utilities, including operations, asset management, planning, and engineering. In the future, GridVista™ data and analytics may also benefit market operators and participants, policymakers and regulators, and technology and financial services companies. Ultimately, ratepayers benefit from improved reliability and efficiency across the grid.
CTC Global provides comprehensive support, including technical assistance for system design, installation and operations training, real-time customer support through a dedicated help desk, and ongoing updates and upgrades to ensure the GridVista™ System continues to meet evolving needs.
