The question of "Why SmartGrid"

The classic electrical flow direction in the grid

networklevel 1 7

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

Securely exploit the potential treasure trove of data: The basic system architecture

architecture

SmartGridBox Use Case 1: Wired outgoing metering

use case 1 ringbus 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)
  - Early problem localization through grid transparency
  - Extremely simple installation (pilot AND roll-out)

Conclusion:

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

SmartGridbox Use Case 2: Wireless outgoing metering

use case 2 wireless 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
  - Simple installation thanks to wireless sensors
    (pilot AND 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) outgoing circuits simultaneously

Conclusion:

- - High performance for a dynamic and computable network

SmartGridbox Use Case 3: Operating PV systems to serve the grid

use case 3 en 1

use case 3 en 1

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
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

Advantages summarized

Good reasons for the SmartGridBox:

The (measuring) system is built according to your needs (a SmartGridBox with functional options)
Straightforward implementation (plug and play concept)
Fast in the pilot as well as in the roll-out
You get to know your grid through implementation
You are spared complexity
Future-proof thanks to an open and state-of-the-art (system) 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)
A roll-out is based on your experience and can therefore be optimized
You only use and pay for what helps you at the time
New business and remuneration models can be based on this
