How do we integrate local energy communities into grid planning?
Decentralised power production creates new challenges for grid companies.
New methodology for planning expansion of the electricity grid
FlexPlan-projects developed a new methodology for planning the expansion of transmission and distribution networks. The methodology assesses the use of flexible resources, e.g. energy storage and end-user flexibility, as an alternative to the conventional approach, i.e. building new lines and/or components.
Cybersecurity in the electricity grid
The electricity grid is undergoing a digital transition to become intelligent, robust, and cost-efficient. We need to understand the threats and vulnerabilities related to the digital transition of the electricity grid with the aim of improved control over the cyber risks.
Increasing the pace of decarbonization with industrial flexibility
Instead of building new grid, utilizing flexibility in industrial processes could be a cheaper and faster way of integrating variable power production.
