The importance of the Grid Edge technology
The future of energy supply is focusing on Decarbonization,Decentralization, Digitalization .
The changed framework conditions caused by the volatility of distributed intermittent energy resources, demand response and integration of electropmobility presents distribution network operators with new challenges.
Efficient grid management is therefore required for the new system structures. The safe and reliable use of information and communication technologies is absolutely necessary to ensure the balance and stability of the supply structures.
Grid Edge deployment brings six main advantages to the grid:
1- Scalibility with grid expansion
2- Main control center independency
3- More integration
4- More resiliency
5- Self learning and self-healing possibility
6- More economic solutions
Grid Edge Monitoiring and Control Fucntions
With vast penetration of DER, DRMS and EVs, a cross-voltage network controller for low and medium voltage networks
is vital to enable the integration of a semi-autonomous distributed network control into the network operationmanagement of the grid control centres.
The grid edge solution should protect the distribution network infrastructure effectively and cost-optimally through the rapid and targeted elimination of bottlenecks. The solution shall contain control and optimization modules for network automation, cascaded load management at all levels as well as an energy management system for medium-sized companies and industrial customers.
Enhancing Grid Performance with Edge Technology
Communicates with the higher-level network control center on the
basis of standardized telecontrol protocols. Operating parameters,network states or aggregated values are transmitted to the control system from the decentralised controller unit.
In the opposite direction,Grid Edge devices receives setpoint specifications or active - passive circuits. In exchange with control center, the current switch positions and an image of the current parameter set are also dynamically exchanged
