SMIGHT IQ Copilot: Temporarily reducing loads based on data in accordance with Section 14a EnWG
The best kind of intervention in accordance with 14a EnWG is the intervention that does not need to be made.
If it is unavoidable, however, distribution system operators can now use SMIGHT Grid2 to record, identify and eliminate bottlenecks to the full extent using the proven sensor technology.
SMIGHT Grid2 provides the transparency needed to react before the grid reaches a critical state.
If the need to take action cannot be avoided, our SMIGHT IQ Copilot solution represents a pragmatic way of doing so – for the first time, without having to bring in a complex digital grid model and expensive software.
4 takeaways from
Section 14a EnWG
#1 Connect
Distribution system operators must immediately connect all loads covered by Section 14a EnWG.
#2 Understand
Distribution system operators must identify/understand bottlenecks and avoid them by taking preventive measures.
#3 Manage
Distribution system operators are permitted to temporarily reduce loads in the event of highly critical grid conditions under certain circumstances.
#4 Optimize
Distribution system operators must permanently eliminate bottlenecks through grid expansion.
RECORD with SMIGHT Grid2 sensor technology
Our SMIGHT sensors record the feeder-specific value of the current with the flow direction and phase angle (cos φ) once a minute in a four-phase process. A separate power supply is not needed. It takes less than an hour to install the sensors with the gateway.
An optimal addition to our standard sensors is the SMIGHT Grid2 Sensor Flex solution. Thanks to the unique Rogowski coils, Sensor Flex can be easily installed even in difficult situations.
The data is transferred wirelessly to the gateway and from there via the mobile communications network to the SMIGHT IQ Cockpit, where the data is processed and visualized.
UNDERSTAND with the SMIGHT Grid2 Cockpit
The SMIGHT IQ Cockpit is the beating heart of the comprehensive SMIGHT Grid2 solution. It brings together all relevant information from the local transformer stations and cable distributors in one clear and user-friendly interface.
In the SMIGHT IQ Cockpit you can see at a glance any critical conditions or developments within the grid. Traffic light colors indicate the load. By clicking on the event, you will be given an up-to-the-minute detailed view of the measurement series for a transformer or feeder – with the ability to analyze a specific phase.
The SMIGHT IQ Cockpit gives you the confidence you need to make informed decisions with the help of real-time data, enabling you to maintain stability and efficiency in the distribution grid.
MANAGE with the SMIGHT IQ Copilot
Grid operators can activate the Copilot function for individual low-voltage feeders with one click in the intuitive user interface in the event of a highly critical load situation.
A list of grid locations can be imported and assigned to the affected grid section by means of a map view.
Time periods when utilization is particularly high can be selected and a temporary reduction in power supplied to the connected controllable consumers can be planned, executed and documented (“preventive management”).
This process can be gradually automated, enabling fully automatic “dynamic management” if necessary.
