Abstract

A sag calculator (122) computes sag for a span of a section of a power line based at least in part upon a temperature of conductor lines in the line section. A temperature calculator (120) determines the temperature by computing a resistance ascertained through augmented state estimation techniques performed by a state estimator (118). A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system (104) acquires data used by the state estimator (118) to compute the resistance.
