In this keynote speech, dynamic thermal line rating (DTLR) emerges as a transformative solution in modernizing power grid management. Highlighting its significance in enhancing grid resilience and efficiency, the speaker delves into the principles and applications of DTLR technology. Through real-world case studies and innovative approaches, attendees gain insights into how DTLR dynamically optimizes transmission line capacities based on environmental conditions, mitigating congestion risks and enabling higher utilization rates. Furthermore, the speech explores the integration of DTLR into smart grid frameworks, paving the way for a more adaptive and sustainable energy infrastructure.

Dr. Teh graduated with a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Manchester, UK in 2016, and is currently an Associate Professor at UniversitiSains Malaysia (USM). He is also a Technical Director at UPE-Power in Taiwan. He mainly explores the benefits of using flexible transmission power line ratings to enhance grid reliability. To date, he has published morethan 50 journal articles published in the SCIE database, with most of them ranked in the top two quarters of the ranking, garnering 2467 citations and 29 h-index on Google Scholar. He was the top 2% of the world's most-cited researchers by field in 2019, 2020, and 2021, according to Stanford University. In 2021 and 2022, he received the Outstanding Engineer Award by the IEEE Power & Energy Malaysia and, the IET Malaysia Outstanding Young Professional Award, respectively.
