Making the most of Europe’s grids: grid optimisation technologies to build a greener Europe
Making the most of Europe’s grids: grid optimisation technologies to build a greener Europe WindEurope’s position paper explains that while grid expansion is crucial and needs to accelerate, grid optimization and timely solutions must also be considered. Grid optimization technologies can maximize the use of transmission capacity by increasing thermal and/or system limits or optimally […]
Increasing Bulk Power Transfer of Renewable Generation with Modular FACTS to Lower Wholesale Costs to Consumers
Increasing Bulk Power Transfer of Renewable Generation with Modular FACTS to Lower Wholesale Costs to Consumers This paper describes how three Australian network owners, TransGrid, AusNet and ElectraNet, plan to leverage modular FACTS to facilitate the bulk transfer of renewable energy across regional boundaries. Using modular FACTS to improve the utilization of existing networks means […]
