Hedd Roberts and Mark Norton visited leading distribution utility Avacon Gruppe, alongside House of Energy e.V. and m3 management consulting GmbH, to discuss use of SmartValve™ on distribution grids in Germany⚡
🔌Ob Wärmepumpe, E-Auto oder private PV-Anlage - auf unsere Netze kommt viel Neues zu. Immer mehr dezentrale Energieerzeugungsanlagen werden an unser Verteilnetz angeschlossen und gleichzeitig steigt der Energieverbrauch stetig an. Das Ergebnis: es entstehen zunehmend Lastspitzen, die unsere Leitungen belasten.📈 Technologieoffenheit ist uns besonders wichtig und wir prüfen laufend, ob die neusten Lösungen auch für unser Netzgebiet sinnvoll sind. Ein Ansatzpunkt sind #SmartValves, welche durch gezielte Lastflussänderungen helfen können, unsere Leitungen zu entlasten und so unser zukünftiges #SmartGrid optimieren. Denn dafür braucht es schließlich auch smarte Leitungen und Systeme, die besser und vor allem früher mögliche Ausfälle erkennen. Genau das haben unsere Kollegen der Avacon Netz GmbH Frank Schwermer und Suresh Thiyagarajan, Mark Norton und Hedd Roberts von Smart Wires Inc., Camillo Banfi von m3 management consulting GmbH sowie Anja Schaldach und Prof. Dr. Ing. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Birkner vom House of Energy e.V. in einem produktiven Workshop erörtert. Herausgekommen sind für unser Netz 2 mögliche Hauptanwendungsfälle, die wir nun weiter prüfen: 1. Beschleunigung, Vereinfachung sowie Effektivität und Effizienz bei Netz-Wartungs- und Ausbauarbeiten 🚀 2. Lösung von kurzfristigen verbrauchsbasierten Problemen Wir freuen uns auf die weitere Zusammenarbeit! 🤝 #Zukunftbeginntzusammen #infrastruktur #früherkennung #netzstabilität #smarteleitungen
