Establish network transparency
Until now, grid operation has mostly been carried out without complete and reliable data. Decisions are made on the basis of estimates or empirical values.
With the expansion of e-mobility, heat pumps, and volatile feeders, uncertainty is growing:
- In which stations are individual outputs in the threshold or limit value range being utilized to capacity?
- How has utilization developed in recent weeks and months?
- Is this a one-time event or a permanent overload?
- Does the situation force me to implement load management in accordance with Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) or even to expand the grid?
hidden network potential
Network utilization in low-voltage networks varies greatly, leaving a lot of capacity unused. However, without measurement data, this potential remains invisible. The result: oversized investments, increased risks, and inefficient network management.
The SMIGHT solution for network transparency
SMIGHT creates transparency in grid operation through precise measurements in transformer stations and cable distributors.
This enables grid operators to identify critical points in the grid and see load flows, reserves, and unused capacities at a glance. Identifying this potential allows distribution system operators (DSOs) to make targeted use of additional capacities and better manage investments.
SMIGHT integrates seamlessly into existing processes and provides the basis for informed and future-proof decisions.
This opens up new possibilities for action:
1
Can I resolve overloads through targeted switching actions—and how do I validate the result?
2
Can additional consumers or producers be approved?
3
Is there still capacity on the cables, and when is the right time for a planned grid expansion?
Your advantages at a glance
- Greater security: Decisions based on real grid data
- Cost savings: Targeted implementation of investments and measures
- Increased efficiency: Faster and easier process control
- Transparency: Grid decisions are data-based and verifiable
Conclusion
SMIGHT provides network operators with complete transparency and thus security in network operation. The comprehensive overview enables well-founded and future-proof investment decisions. At the same time, the solution is scalable and grows with requirements – from targeted load management to predictive network planning.
