Proactive grid planning is key to unlocking and supporting a net-zero path.
Time is an important factor in the development and adaptation of electricity grid infrastructure towards clean energy goals. The increasing adoption of renewable energy, coupled with the adoption of new technologies in electric power systems, is dramatically changing the infrastructure of today’s power grids. whether integrated or decentralized The way to switch to increasing dependence on renewable energy sources. It is challenging the traditional grid management process.

If asked what is the main challenge for the expansion of the energy industry? The answer is to have a strong power network system that supports both the generation system, transmission system, and power distribution system. for example If offshore wind turbine capacity is expected to be between 230 and 450 GW. Electricity 200 MW per week from today This is a very fast expansion. Therefore, it is necessary to create and adjust the electricity network in advance To be able to support this rapid expansion.
The investment factor is another matter to consider. But of course, increased investment means faster, better planning, better project development as well. At Hitachi Energy, we have a model of strategic power systems, which we call the Power Systems of the Future. electricity of the future Which we use to simulate various complex patterns of electrical systems In Europe, renewable energy is used from various sources such as hydropower, wind power, solar power. They can be used together as a system and complement each other in case it is necessary to distribute electric power to a larger area or region. which can receive and transmit electrical energy to each other Especially in the case that some areas have high or insufficient demand for electricity. Our analysis shows that increased demand for electricity will result in a 30% to 40% increase in system costs due to current limited capacity as well as unused installed renewable energy. performance, including energy storage
Additional comments on the role of power distribution: First, in electric power transmission systems. We need to keep all voltage levels in mind. Because it affects the transmission efficiency and the losses in the system. Secondly, having a good power backup system. It can help increase flexibility and provide emergency power for critical sectors such as medical, water supply, communications and telecommunications in the event of a disturbance in the system.
Due to the large increase in electricity consumption, we have tousedCapacitynetworkexisting and new capacity as efficiently as possible. How can this be done??
This is the source of technology that will come to help. We need to deploy the network in a way that allows us to operate with agility, flexibility and utilization. higher benefits than in the past This includes the ability to detect Better measurements at all voltage levels digitization or electronic devices that allow us to more precisely control the transmission of electrical energy
Those involved therefore need to work together and plan together. with electricity network service providers network user and technology providers which must agree with the function The operation of the electric grid of the future Have a clear launch and deployment plan If the network is important to the growth of renewable energy. What needs to change to incentivize grid operators to make significant investments? is regulatory support Increased motivation for efficient execution and on-time delivery. We need to work together. Drive more collaboration with operators system from the design stage Introduction to Infrastructure
We need to separate risk and design incentives in order to build faster and more efficient power grids. We are talking about developing a system that connected to each other in terms of investment The stability of the power grid will directly affect performance and profit. network operators want confidence that Investment in production will advance as the power grid is ready. While we may not technically be able to control all of these factors, they will drive the delivery of more efficient infrastructure. and increase investor confidence. both in infrastructure and electricity network
“At present, the installation or expansion of the electricity network It requires a lot of investment in the structure and time spent on the construction site. With current technology, it has developed into a new network expansion that can reduce both the area size. Installation time and staff at the job site It is also more flexible to move than the old installation. In addition, digital technology is another trend that is playing a role in strengthening the stability of the power grid. It is essential for operators to be more aware of real-time situations (e.g. grid patterns, interpretation of all data collected, prepared for situations that may arise) to maintain credibility. Economical Availability, Security, and Accessibility As the grid-connected power system develops, “Hitachi Energy” is committed to driving a sustainable energy future for all. ready to be a good partner in supporting the implementation of sustainability policies Including carbon neutrality (Carbon Neutrality) with innovations and technologies that support operations for the sustainability of the energy and power grid in the future,” Dr. Worawut Varuttamapornsu, Managing Director, Hitachi Energy.
