High-voltage power lines in the US will soon be monitored by “magic balls” from Norway, increasing capacity by 30% and helping grid operators maximize line capacity for renewable power, according to Heimdall Power. The sphere-shaped sensors measure line temperature, current, and other key metrics, and are installed by drones in under two minutes. Combined with cloud software, this technology offers unrivaled quality at scale, allowing for wide area monitoring.
