The questions of «Why SmartGrid»

The classic electrical flow direction in the grid

networklevel 1 4

The «new» electrical flow direction in the grid

why smart grid

Growing challenges in the network and conclusions

  • Push of the energy transition (political, social, ecological, economic)
  • Consumers are increasingly becoming prosumers (load and voltage requirements in the grid)
  • Growing stakeholder groups (regulatory, environment, politics, society, customers, DSOs, etc.)
  • New disorder on the one-way street = bidirectional grids with many nodes
  • Shortage of skilled workers automatically leads to prioritized “inactivity”
  • Greatly increasing complexity (electrical, IT, regulatory, commercial, working time models, etc.)
  • The grid quality is changing – so-called power quality – (faults, outages, defects, etc.)
  • Cyber attacks on critical infrastructure are increasing rapidly
stress in the system

Possible conclusion(s)

  • Technology support is needed in the network, not a replacement
  • Beneficial digitalization of existing systems is necessary
  • Expansion and modernization of electrical infrastructures
  • Creating truly “meaningful” transparency in the networks
  • Targeted handling of data for systemic processing & use
  • Apply cyber security holistically down to field level (measurement level)
  • It is essential to consider the transformation of technology & people
control in the system

Use Case 1: SmartGridBox with «Advanced» metering for specific outgoing loads; wired

use case 1 003 e1718349402844
use case 1 en

Features:

      • Zero-blind technology for the fastest acquisition of status data (54kHz sampling)
      • Real-time data in top-of-second mode or >1s adjustable (IEC61850 data push)
      • Not only load, but also power and power quality data available
      • Up to 20kA per outgoing circuit possible (e.g. also for measuring the main distribution board with the same module)
      • All status data is fully synchronized with each other (overall grid dynamics)
      • Frühzeitige Problemortung durch Netz-Transparenz
      • BentoNet-Ready (secure data connectivity with various application options (e.g. LoadFlow, RetoFlow, PowerFactory, SINCAL, …)
      • Fichtner Digital Grid and Venios Ready
      • Install and immediate use for the pilot phase AND the roll-out

 

Conclusion:

      • Highest measurement performance for a dynamic and fully computable grid with real-time data

Use Case 2: SmartGridBox with «Advanced» measurement; wireless

use case 2 003 e1718349309460
use case 2 en

Features:

      • Not only load, but also power and power quality data available
      • Up to 1kA per (phase) outgoing circuit possible
      • Average values up to 1/min and instantaneous values 1/s
      • All status data is fully synchronized with each other
      • BentoNet-Ready (secure data connectivity with various application options (e.g. LoadFlow, RetoFlow, PowerFactory, SINCAL, …)
      • Install and immediate use for the pilot phase AND the roll-out
      • Early problem localization through network transparency
      • Wireless technology can be used for various Camille Bauer standard measuring devices (PQI or PMD)
      • Measure up to 33(25) outlets simultaneously

 

Conclusion:

      • High performance for a dynamic and computable grid

Features:

  • Minimal installation effort
  • Self-sufficient and self-controlling system (decentralized)
  • Use of standard components
  • Control unit and measuring device in one (2-in-1)
  • No programming required
  • Followers can also be equipped with class A power quality measurements
  • Install and immediate use for the pilot phase AND the roll-out
  • Additional measurement of outgoing feeders with use case 2 (wireless) possible (combination of use cases 2 and 3)

Conclusion:

  • This system enables distribution grid operators to keep the grids in balance directly through measured status data
  • This also makes it possible to control feed-ins without counter-load, especially during sunny periods

Use Case 4: SmartGrid monitoring; output-focused measurement «Basic»; wired

SmartGrid Use Case with MT7150 from Camille Bauer

Features:

      • Simple measuring transducer principle
      • Supplies basic variables such as I, U, F, P, Q, S
      • One measuring transducer per outgoing circuit in the size of a circuit breaker
      • Data communication via robust Modbus RTU (daisy chain)
      • Current measurement possible via Rogowski coil or current transformer
      • Parameterization via easy-to-use freeware (incl. storage of parameters for duplication)

 

Conclusion:

      • Due to its simplicity and compact size, the SIRAX® MT7150 is very well suited for use in existing systems.

Advantages summarized

Good reasons for the SmartGridBox or the Basic version:

  • The (measuring) system is designed according to your needs
  • Straightforward implementation (plug and immediate use concept
  • Fast pilot and roll-out
  • Use of freely available standard components
  • You get to know your network through implementation
  • You are spared complexity
  • Future-proof thanks to an open and state-of-the-art (system) and platform architecture (non-proprietary)
  • Performance and, where applicable, network quality make the network transparent for you
  • Cyber Protection stand-alone and cyber security in combination with  BentoNet (ISO27001)
  • Interoperability with other digital grid platforms such as Fichtner Digital Grid and Venios (LINAX® PQ5000CL)
  • A roll-out is based on your experience and can therefore be optimally designed
  • You only use and pay for what helps you at the time
  • New business and remuneration models can be based on this
