Smarter Grid Solutions helps in Active Network Management enabling the integration of renewable energy resources with distribution grid, managing with real-time, autonomous and deterministic control.
A number of energy resources have to be coupled with company’s new Active Network Management products ANM 50 and CONNECT+ to manage multiple devices in a safe manner, for maximum use of latent grid hosting capacities, helping to avoid costly grid upgrades.
The new ANM 50 and CONNECT+ products integrate with company’s existing ANM 100 product, to form the COPAR family of Active Network Management solutions.
They can efficiently tackle different power systems problems and offer different entry points to an Active Network Management scheme, scaling with the network development.
These ANM 100 product manages thermal constraints, upper voltage limits and demand response. The ANM 50 complements this functionality by managing voltage constraints and reverse power flows.
They also coordinate real power reductions for ANM 100 to resolve high voltage thermal limits.
CONNECT+ manages thermal or voltage constraints, maximizing the use of existing connections.
These products have common technology components that deliver real-time, deterministic and autonomous control. The combination of these three features is what differentiates Smarter Grid Solutions in the smart grid arena, said Alan Gooding, commercial director, Co-Founder, Smarter Grid Solutions.
This COPAR product family can complement each other or to work individually, depending on the customer’s needs. ANM 100 can be configured to integrate with ANM 50 and or with individual CONNECT+ installations. The approach delivers the scalable a future-proofed Active Network Management product that is required for today’s smart grid market, added Gooding.
The company’s Active Network Management products deliver cost benefits to customers around globally, with around three times more grid capacity, achieving 200 percent more renewables contributions, and reducing grid integration costs by over 90 percent.
The technology that powers the COPAR product series is the result of years of research and development at their power systems and engineering universities in Europe, in collaboration with utility companies and research institutes around the world.
