Older generation of MV/LV smart substation (PA IRIS).
No grid-wide roll out
• Testing of a solution for centralised MV tension regulation (FAR U).
• VAR management at the crossroads of transmission and distribution grids (FAR Q): enabled to lift high tension constraints on the transmission network. Value assessment to be further detailed.
• Prototype for digital operation information exchange device (eDEIE)
• Technical and economic ranking of grid operations including flexibilities.
• Aggregators web portal.
Further development needed before roll out
• IT planning infrastructure (jont maintenance planning with MV generators).
• “DispoRéseau” web portal for MV genertors (coordination; posting of updates on quality of supply).
• IT for consumption and generation forecasts (SYPEL).
• IT for grid data records (HDR).
• Constraints live simulator
(SIT-R STC).
• Operation information exchange device (DEIE).
• Development of 1st generation MV/LV smart substation.
• Smart grid connection offer for MV generators: three offers tested, awaiting regulatory changes.
• Economic assessment of flexibilities.
Grid-wide roll out ongoing
ACHIEVEMENTS AND LESSONS LEARNED
• Implement technical and organisational solutions to streamline renewables’ grid connection and energy demand management actions while guaranteeing grid reliability and resilience.
• Define business models for local optimisation addressing all stakeholders’ needs.
• Assess local and “societal” integration of the project and its impact on the local electricity system and the whole industry.
OBJECTIVES
100 business buildings and 10 000 public lighting units within the service area of 6 primary and 2 700 secondary substations, 3 MV wind generators.
2013-2018
