Amprion And Smart Wires Have Successfully Tested Modular Power Flow Control Technology

Amprion And Smart Wires Have Successfully Tested Modular Power Flow Control Technology

June 8, 2022

German version available

Amprion and Smart Wires have successfully completed a pilot test on the use of innovative technology for optimisation of grid loading. As a result of the one-and-a-half-year cooperation, Amprion has found that there are no technical reservations regarding the use of SmartValve™ technology in the German power grid.

Amprion has carried out extensive studies and technical analyses of Smart Wires’ modular static synchronous series compensator (m-SSSC). The SmartValve is intended to distribute power flows more evenly across circuits, and herewith increase utilisation of lines and contribute to system stability.

“The pilot project has shown that SmartValve is an innovative technology with potential to use the grid more efficiently and to reduce the need for redispatch in the future,” said Dr. Hendrik Neumann, Chief Technical Officer of Amprion.

The SmartValve can optimally utilise the capacity of the lines through targeted load flow changes (increase or decreasing power flows on a circuit). The transmission grid can be controlled in a better way and minimise the expensive use of power plants in congestion management. SmartValves are individual modules that can be expanded into larger deployments, depending on the system needs. The technology is easy to transport, thus can be used in more flexible way at different locations. The new technology can thus complement conventional large and phase-shifting transformers (PST) and introduces new use cases and applications.

“We are very pleased about the successful completion of the preliminary technical studies and the fact that such a reputable and competent transmission network operator as Amprion did not identify any technical reservations regarding the use of SmartValve on the Amprion network. Since the start of our cooperation, SmartValve projects have been carried out in the USA, Australia, England and Austria, to name just a few examples. We now look forward to the next steps within the context of the ambitious climate targets of the new coalition government,” said Dr. Susanne Nies, General Manager Germany of Smart Wires.

The climate targets of the EU and of the German government are accelerating the transformation of the power grid in Europe. In addition to the necessary grid expansion, more innovative technologies are being used for more efficient capacity utilisation. The German grid development plan also opens application of such technology in addition to new expansion project.

"The pilot project has shown that SmartValve is an innovative technology with potential to use the grid more efficiently and to reduce the need for redispatch in the future."

APG and Smart Wires Sign Cooperation Agreement for Innovation Projects to Optimize the Load Flow in the Transmission Grid

APG and Smart Wires Sign Cooperation Agreement for Innovation Projects to Optimize the Load Flow in the Transmission Grid

January 27, 2022

APG is the first enterprise that has tested the new rapidly deployable mobile solution with SmartValve™ technology in a pilot project.

Wien (OTS) – The Austrian transmission system operator Austrian Power Grid (APG) has signed a cooperation agreement with Smart Wires. 

Smart Wires’ innovative technology will be used to evaluate how the grid availability and operation reliability in Austria can be improved with modular power flow control elements –another component for ensuring the security of electricity supply.

“We are the first enterprise that has tested the new rapidly deployable mobile solution with SmartValve technology in a pilot project and is now considering its permanent use. Joint studies have shown that with the product our transmission grids can be even better used to capacity. The technology has the potential to relieve the Austrian electricity grid and to make it more stable especially during the transformation of the energy system,” explains APG’s company spokesperson Christoph Schuh. Not least due to its geographic location Austria is playing a central role in the European electricity system. “If we want to achieve the goal of 100 percent electricity from renewables in the electricity mix until 2030, we have to avail ourselves of every opportunity that can help to use the grid capacities in an even more optimized way. In addition to the physical expansion of our line capacities according to plan we need new state-of-the-art technologies to facilitate the successful electrification of the economy, industry and society without jeopardizing the security of supply. Electricity is the energy of the future. By using the most modern technologies we hope to increase the share of renewables in the power system and to reduce the threat of congestions as much as possible. The first results of the pilot project are very promising. Together with Smart Wires and the TU Graz University of Technology we will now evaluate potential applications in the next few years“, says Schuh. 

Smart Wires’ General Manager Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Susanne Nies is also delighted about the cooperation and states: “Our technology is a very good match for APG and we consider the company as very innovative player in the European power industry. We are looking forward to undertaking the next joint steps in developing flexible solutions which will address European requirements and be important also from a pan-European perspective. Our most recent projects have been implemented in the United Kingdom, where we were able to increase capacity by 500 MW. We are proud to now break new ground also in Austria together with APG, the company that is responsible for ensuring the security of supply in this country.”

The TU Graz University of Technology will contribute its scientific expertise to the project and currently examines the advantages of the SmartValve Technology for the APG grid regarding the technical aspects of the power flow control devices.

SmartValve is a modular Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) that can relieve constrained lines by actively increasing or decreasing power flows on a circuit and perform dynamic services. This makes it possible to better control the transmission grid and to reduce the number of redispatch measures that are necessary because of grid congestions.

“The technology has the potential to relieve the Austrian electricity grid and to make it more stable especially during the transformation of the energy system"

Christoph Schuh

APG's company spokesperson

The mobile deployment option of SmartValve can be delivered within a few months and installed within a few hours. In addition, all Smart Wires solutions can be easily dismounted and reinstalled elsewhere – as and when required, e.g. in case of a massive disturbance, planned renovation measures or delays of new construction projects. It is thus a flexible and effective solution. The new technology complements other grid optimization technologies and supports the system from a stability perspective.

The solution has drawn the interest of transmission system operators in Europe, the United States, Australia and Latin America and has already been implemented in many places. APG in Austria is now one of the companies on the list and thus shows once more its innovative mindset and commitment to the Austrian climate and energy strategy.

Smart Wires Accelerates Progress towards a Clean Energy Future across North and South America

December 21, 2021

With ambitious targets of zero net carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 and substantial reductions in CO2 emissions by 2030, there is growing recognition of the value that grid enhancing technologies provide. As national efforts to modernize the grid intensify, leading transmission system companies across North and South America are introducing or expanding their use of these technologies to quickly and cost effectively reach their goals.

One of these grid enhancing technologies is Smart Wires’ SmartValve™, a Modular FACTS device that moves power from heavily loaded lines to others with spare capacity. By optimizing the existing infrastructure this technology lowers costs for consumers, reduces the impact of infrastructure on urban and natural areas, and ensures timely connection of new renewable energy resources.

Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) supplies water, electricity and gas to more than 4 million people in the Metropolitan area of the Department of Antioquia (Colombia) and has adopted SmartValve technology to optimize power flows in its network. EPM plans to expand the utilization of this technology to optimize the existing network as part of the Aburrá Valley expansion plan. After an initial installation of the technology earlier this year, EPM will install more SmartValve devices in 2022 as a timely and cost-effective solution to release more capacity on the grid with minimal disruption to local communities and the environment in urban areas.

SmartValve is widely recognised in Colombia as a key technology for cost-effectively connecting lower cost generation and increasing reliability – improving the quality of life of local communities and contributing to the energy transition. This is reflected by the adoption of modular power flow control technology as part of the approved solutions for the country’s 2020-2034 Transmission Expansion Plan, published by the national planning agency (Unidad de Planeacion Minero Energetica, UPME). As part of this plan further SmartValve projects will be delivered in 2022 by other transmission owners in Colombia, providing additional capacity for the increasing level of renewable connections across the region.

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is the largest municipal utility in the US, operating nearly 8 GW of power generation facilities and serving 4 million residents with a peak load of 6.5 GW. LADWP has significant construction planned over the next decade to meet the Los Angeles 100% renewable energy goal by 2035, and is therefore exploring flexible and innovative solutions to reliable outage management.

NSW-Victoria Interconnector Receiving Increased Electricity Flows Due to Advanced Smart Grid Technology Installation

NSW-Victoria Interconnector Receiving Increased Electricity Flows Due to Advanced Smart Grid Technology Installation

December 21, 2021

Cross border interconnection capability has been increased, and extra capacity unlocked, due to the installation of innovative power flow control on a key interconnector between New South Wales and Victoria.

In what is one of the first installations of its kind in Australia, Victorian transmission system operator AusNet Services deployed SmartValve™ technology on the Jindera-Wodonga line, where it is routing power flow onto the underutilised western 330 kV transmission corridor.

SmartValve technology works by intelligently controlling the flows of power across the network, in real-time. It pushes power off overloaded lines and pulls power on to underutilised lines; balancing power flows across multiple lines and relieving constraints that limit cross-border flows. 

By deploying SmartValve on the Jindera-Wodonga 330 kV line, the interregional export capability from New South Wales to Victoria will be increased by around 15 MW, reducing the risk of supply shortfalls in Victoria following the recent retirement of fossil fuel-based generation.

Installation of the technology was a joint project between AusNet Services and global power technology company, Smart Wires.

Announcing the project’s successful implementation, AusNet Services Executive General Manager of Network Management & Digital, Steven Neave said the use of innovative solutions will be key for utilities as they address challenges around increasing and changing demand, while simultaneously working towards the energy transition.

“AusNet’s focus is delivering safe and reliable power to the communities we serve. This means using innovative solutions to foster reliability, affordability, and a sustainable energy future for Victoria.

“Advanced technological solutions like SmartValve enable us to unlock extra capacity on our existing network – ensuring stable, reliable supply, more renewable energy, and less requirement for new infrastructure.

“Essentially this technology is improving utilization of our current network; the result being lower prices for our customers, less impact on the environment and our communities, and an increase in the amount of renewables we can safely integrate.

Smart Wires’ General Manager APAC, Aidan Lawlor commended AusNet Services for their innovative approach and commitment to Australia’s energy transition.

“The success of this project shows the impact innovative power technology is having, and companies like AusNet are at the forefront of this important change,” he said.

Innovative Grid Technologies Recognized As Key Enabler of Energy Transition in Europe

Innovative Grid Technologies Recognized As Key Enabler of Energy Transition in Europe

December 17, 2021

There is growing recognition of the importance of innovative grid technologies in Europe for delivering on the Fitfor55 – the EU’s plan for a 55% decrease in CO2 emissions by 2030. 

Leading industry experts have welcomed the recent developments in this space, namely the new Consentec report commissioned by currENT showing that innovative grid technologies can reduce levels of congestion redispatch and renewables curtailment by as much as 90% in the given scenario, the ACER position paper on incentives for smart investments, and ENTSO-E’s Technopedia.

 

The central role of the grid has been at the forefront of recent global conversations surrounding the COP26 Summit in Glasgow last month. While there is debate on whether the revised climate pledges by national governments go far enough, there is global acceptance that we need to accelerate our collective progress.

 

Delivering on the 55% emission reductions targets requires near-term progress, as the value of reducing carbon emissions now is far greater than reducing the same level of carbon emissions in 10 years’ time – every day counts.

 

Rapidly deployable grid enhancing technologies, such as Smart Wires’ innovative, intelligent power flow control technology, SmartValve™, can accelerate this. By enabling earlier delivery of electric capacity than some conventional solutions, these technologies can support the faster more efficient connection of renewables, integration of new loads such as EVs, and ultimately access to lower cost clean energy for consumers with minimal disruption to local communities and the environment.

 

A new report ‘The Benefits of Innovative Grid Technologies’ states that using readily available innovative grid technologies can reduce levels of congestion redispatch and curtailment of renewables by as much as 90% in the given scenario in one region in Europe[1]. currENT, the key association for innovative grid technology companies in Europe, commissioned Consentec to undertake this report looking at the combined impact of innovative technologies to reduce congestion and its associated costs in the European grid.  In particular, Dynamic Line Rating and M-SSSCs, such as SmartValve, can each reduce the volume of redispatch and costs by 40-50%, and are ready for wide-scale implementation.

 

The need for greater use of these technologies is reinforced by ACER’s latest position paper on the role of regulation in incentivizing smart investments. ACER acknowledges that traditional regulation tends to favour higher cost solutions, and suggests a paradigm shift to incentivize greater use of innovative solutions that increase network efficiency and use of the existing grid, ultimately providing more immediate benefits to end consumers.

 

ENTSO-E provides a key resource through its new Technopedia – a collection of factsheets for innovative a technologies researched, demonstrated and deployed by Transmission System Operators. By making the latest information on these technologies available, ENTSO-E is advancing their use to unlock the full potential of the existing infrastructure and to transform the way power systems are managed.

 

Many of these technologies, such as SmartValve, have already been deployed across the world and are delivering real value to consumers. In the UK, National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) are using SmartValve to remove bottlenecks and unlock unused capacity on the existing network. NGET has already installed SmartValves across five circuits in the North of England, creating 1.5 GW of extra capacity; enough to power one million UK homes with renewable energy. NGET is scaling up three of the initial SmartValve deployments in 2022 to unlock extra capacity on the circuits, and ultimately transfer more renewable power to its customers in a timely and cost-effective way.

 

Reaching the energy targets between now and 2030 is the only way to achieve the ultimate goal of net zero by 2050. By implementing the wide range of grid enhancing technologies that are readily available today and driving forward innovation in new technologies, the grid can continue to evolve and be an enabler of Energy Transition.

 

[1] The geographic scope of the study is Germany, France, Benelux, Austria and Denmark.

Transformational Power Flow Control Technology Unlocks Cross-Border Electricity Capacity in Southeastern Europe

Transformational Power Flow Control Technology Unlocks Cross-Border Electricity Capacity in Southeastern Europe

OCTOBER 21, 2021

A transformational grid enhancing technology, SmartValve™, has been successfully commissioned in Greece, marking the second deployment of power flow control technology by IPTO. By intelligently controlling the flows of power across the network, this technology can unlock available cross border interconnection capacity between Greece and Bulgaria.

The project is part of the FARCROSS Horizon 2020 project, which aims to increase cross border electricity flows across South-Eastern Europe and improve market coupling by leveraging innovative solutions.

Announcing the successful installation, Mr. George Papaioannou, Director of IPTO’s Research, Technology & Development Department, said “Innovative projects like this are key to Europe’s energy transition and we are delighted to be collaborating with Smart Wires and ESO to improve utilization of our existing networks.”

Mr. Mark Norton, Smart Wires’ Vice President, Business Development Europe commented “Increasing interconnection capacity across Europe has been identified as a necessary enabler of market integration and reaching a decarbonized future.”

“This project will do just that –significantly increasing interconnection capacity and heralding a new era of solving grid challenges with rapidly deployable, flexible next-generation technology,” Mr. Norton said.

The technology works by pushing power off overloaded lines and pulling power on to underutilized lines; balancing power flows across multiple lines and relieving internal constraints that limit cross-border flows. The SmartValve technology was installed on the 150kV Nea Santa –Iasmos line.

Mr. Konstantinos Plakas, Research Electrical Engineer of IPTO’s Research, Technology & Development Department, said “Studies showed that additional capacity could be made available with the use of this technology”.

Mr. Christos –Spyridon Karavas, Senior Engineer and Technical Consultant of IPTO’s Research, Technology & Development Department, commented “This technology could potentially increase the capacity of the existing network andprovide greater operational flexibility to manage constraints.”

This project builds on the previous Flexitranstore H2020 project which utilizes smart grid technologiesto address the challenges of large-scale renewable energy integration andincreasing grid flexibility. In this project, Smart Wires’ mobile power flow technology was initially installed in collaboration with IPTO in Greece and has recently been redeployed to Bulgaria with ESO to explore further uses cases of this technology to address some of the region’s most critical needs.

About FARCROSS

FARCROSS aims to address the challenge of regional cross border electricity transmission by connecting major stakeholders of the energy value chain and demonstrating integrated hardware and software solutions that will facilitate the “unlocking” of the resources for the cross-border electricity flows and regional cooperation. To achieve its energy goals EU needs to establish a geographically large market by initially improving its cross-border electricity interconnections. A geographically large market, based on imports and exports of electricity, could increase the level of competition, boost the EU’s security of electricity supply and integrate more renewables into energy markets. Electricity should, as far as possible, flow between Member States as easily as it currently flows within Member States, so as to increase sustainability potential and real competition as well as to drive economic efficiency of the energy system.

About IPTO (www.admie.gr)

The Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO or ADMIE) S.A is responsible for the operation of the electricity transmission grid in Greece with system covering the whole of mainland Greece and an increasing portion of the Greek Islands. The mission of IPTO is the operation, control, maintenance and development of the Hellenic Electricity Transmission System, to ensure the country’s supply with electricity in an adequate, safe, efficient and reliable manner, as well as the operation of the electricity market for transactions outside the Day Ahead Scheduling, pursuant to the principles of transparency, equality and free competition.
