Description

The HIRENEXT project aims to co-design and implement a Pilot Service tailored to dynamic line rating (DLR) computations for electricity transmission. This service leverages innovative research from the Destination Earth On-Demand Extremes Digital Twin contract (DE_330), which provides access to unprecedented high-resolution weather predictions.

Through a user-centric co-design approach, conducted in close collaboration with a Transmission System Operator (TSO), the project seeks to demonstrate how accurate, high-resolution weather data can be operationalized to enhance overhead line ratings—both in real-time grid operations and long-term planning. By focusing on demonstrable outcomes and clear communication of expected benefits, the contract is positioned to showcase the tangible value of DestinE services, thereby driving significant user engagement and adoption of the Destination Earth (DestinE) platform.
