The Dynamisch Kabelmodel (DKM) is a Liander model, registered in the Dutch government algorithm register as an impactful algorithm in use since January 2022, that calculates the temperature of medium- and high-voltage cables under changing conditions to determine their dynamic maximum load. It combines ERA5 weather data, the BOFEK2012 soil model, the national LHM groundwater model and Liander asset data with anonymised, aggregated customer load profiles, so Liander can deviate from conservative cable ratings and connect more customers in congested areas. Grid specialists enter data and decide what to do with the result; it is not automated decision-making. Inputs and outputs are logged, results stay within safe limits set in Liander policy, and an internal audit has been carried out. The register describes it as logic and physical calculation, not machine learning.
