Adaptive generation Prosumers

Conventional way: Power balance is guaranteed by the control of generation (generation follows the changes of consumption)

Expectations for Energy Grids Case 1: Power Balance and Flexibility

Over-frequency = Generation higher than consumption

Under-frequency = Consumption higher than generation

Future flexible solution: Power balance is managed cost-effectively by both solutions: control of adaptive generation as well as flexible load. Dimensioning and operation of the grids enable this Flexibility!

POWER AND HEAT INFRASTRUCTURE

ICT INFRASTRUCTURE

APPLICATIONS AND ALGORITHMS

Done in FLEXe

Development of methods for optimal dimensioning of energy infrastructure

Development of load control algorithms, frequency control applications

Development of high quality and advanced measurement, data management and communication systems

Conventional way: Reactive operation in interruptions of energy grids, long delays, centralized automation.

Expectations for Energy Grids Case 2: Reliable Connection

Future flexible solution: Proactive planning and management of energy grids utilizing high-quality measurements and Big Data analytics to avoid interruptions and allow flexibility actions in energy system. Advanced protection, fault isolation and supply restoration functions included.

POWER AND HEAT INFRASTRUCTURE

ICT INFRASTRUCTURE

APPLICATIONS AND ALGORITHMS

Expectations for Energy Grids Case 2: Reliable Connection

Done in FLEXe

Development of methods for planning and operation of weather resistant infrastructure

Development of condition monitoring and fault location algorithms, data management

Development of high- quality and advanced measurement and communication systems

Conventional way: Energy end-customers are dependent on continuous system level connection (one-direction power flow, no energy storage)

Expectations for Energy Grids Case 3: Energy Independence (Island Operation)

Future flexible solution: Energy end-customers have local resources and solutions to continue energy usage during system blackouts. Local smartgrid solutions (microgrids) enable this!
