Background

GridRaven needed a compelling demonstration application to showcase their innovative power grid optimization technology to utilities, investors, and stakeholders. The goal was to prove they could model the global power grid in real time and overlay it with weather data to demonstrate the benefits of their approach.

Problem

As high-voltage powerlines throughput depends on weather conditions; they needed a way to manage throughput based on weather data. Power grids traditionally rely on static ratings, leaving significant unused capacity. This limitation restricts renewable energy integration, increases operational costs, and slows decarbonization efforts. GridRaven needed a clear, visual way to demonstrate the advantages of dynamic line ratings (DLR) to potential customers and investors.

Solution

Interactive web demo that displays the global transmission grid on a basemap, overlays wind and weather data, and computes various line ratings (static, ambient-adjusted, dynamic) in real time, showing how DLR unlocks approximately 30% more capacity.

Project overview.

We created a comprehensive demonstration platform with a front-end featuring interactive maps, detailed views, wind overlays, and line selection capabilities. The back-end infrastructure included robust APIs, advanced rating computation algorithms, and automated data refresh jobs. The system integrated OpenStreetMap power line data with conductor parameters and pulled weather information from third-party APIs.

Our approach.

We focused on creating compelling visualizations that clearly communicated the benefits of dynamic line ratings. We maintained clean separation between front-end and back-end components, integrated open data sources effectively, and ensured the design aligned with GridRaven's website branding. This approach balanced technical sophistication with clarity of communication for non-technical stakeholders.

Results that matter.

The project delivered a live, global demonstration accessible via GridRaven's website, providing tangible proof of the approximately 30% extra capacity achievable through dynamic line ratings with 99% accuracy. We made complex math simple to understand visually.

Lessons learned.

The project demonstrated that live, interactive visualization is far more persuasive than static reports when demonstrating complex technical benefits. We learned that a focused minimum viable product with clear messaging delivers better results than feature-heavy implementations. The experience highlighted the power of letting data tell its own story through intuitive, well-designed interfaces.
