Project description
Energy transition with new digital power grids
The future of energy is decentralised. Energy is no longer being produced by a limited number of big power plants. The introduction of small renewable energies and the electrification of mobility is transforming the entire sector. For instance, millions of new solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicle charging points need to be integrated into the power grids. This has increased the need for new essential grid planning and operation workflows. The EU-funded IGP project is developing an intelligent grid platform – an integral software solution – using machine learning and advanced analytics algorithms. It will allow grid operators to integrate smart grid technologies as well as connect their data and digitise and automate their grid planning and operation activities.
Objective
The energy sector is going through a transformation from a one directional centralized system in which energy is produced by a limited number of big power plants into a highly decentralized ecosystem due to the introduction of small-scale renewable energies and the electrification of mobility. In this situation, power distribution grid operators’ current workflows and IT systems cause inconsistent data management which complicates their planning and operation activities. Therefore, essential grid planning and operation workflows involve significant manual input. As a result, e.g. the evaluation of a connection request for a single new wind turbine often takes multiple days. Additionally, Smart Grid Technologies cannot be used to their full extent to avoid curtailment of renewables in congestion management, and to substitute conventional expensive grid capacity expansions.
We have developed the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), the only integral software solution using machine learning algorithms to allow grid operators to reduce their operational and network expansion investment costs by giving them the means to clean and connect their data, digitize and automate their grid planning and operation activities and to more easily integrate smart grid technologies to help their operation processes and avoid expensive network capacity extensions. As a result, they save time and engineering resources by up to 70% and reduce grid operation and expansion costs by 40% to 60%. In this project, we will advance the IGP applications for online gird operation.
