PowerGridOptimiser

PowerGridOptimiser solution aims to address the following specific needs:

− Predictive warning of coming cable failure and RUL estimation, to keep the healthy cable in operation much longer. When the cables degenerate, nano-cracks are formed leading to partial discharge-events (PD-events). By efficient continuous measuring and analyzing these events throughout the grid, the cables can be maintained proactively, and a costefficient and stable grid is ensured. RUL estimation which is not currently possible with the existing information is a key input for underground cable renovation planning.

− Management of the load over time to optimize the grid utilization and lower the energy loss.

− Identify sources of harmful harmonics and spikes in the grid to ensure good power quality and avoid loss.

Project description

The PowerGridOptimiser project will optimize underground power grids utilisation and investments with a profound positive impact on the environment.

Underground power grids, while crucial for supporting sustainable energy transition, face unresolved challenges that require significant investment. This project addresses these challenges through a combination of a new analytics software and a patented ReMoni clamp-on sensor technology.

The PowerGridOptimiser improves Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of power distribution grids and targets the climate, environmental and financial problems of:

A) Tackling the massive 600 billion kWh energy loss, equivalent to 285 billion kg CO2-eq/year.

B) Mitigating the 97.5 billion € costs of cable replacements, responsible for 19.2 billion kg CO2-eq/year .

The solution will utilise a clamp-on sensor network to create a digital twin of the underground power grid, enabling predictive maintenance, identification and removal of losses in the grid, and better utilisation of the grid.
