title = "Impact of rain on transmission lines{\textquoteright} ampacity: Scotland as a case study",
abstract = "The increase in volume of embedded generation,particularly wind farms in the United Kingdom coupled withchange in nature of connected load (growing number of electricvehicles and domestic PV) will require system operators to lookfor ways to reduce network constraints. Increasing the currentcarrying capacities of transmission lines while ensuring thatsafety margins are not encroached will result in significantimprovements to overall transmission efficiency and reduction inoperational costs. It is possible to increase transmission linestransfer capacities through monitoring of conductortemperature in real time; however, there are conditions that willnecessitate limitations. One of these is the effect of conductorshading (due to trees for example), another is the temperatureovershoot effect (mainly relevant to new conductors running at90° Celsius). This paper will focus on studying the cooling effectof rain on conductor ampacity. A close relationship (rain Vsconductor temperature) often ignored in studies concerned withampacity measurements and computation.",
