Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Storage Options for Active Power Balancing

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Wien Energie Stromnetz GmbH (WES)  Biggest DSO in Austria  System characteristics >11 TWh demand 2,000 km 2 supply area 2 Million customers 1,5 Million meters 40 substations 380/110 kV to 20 or 10 kV >10,000 MV/LV transformer stations 22,000 km line length

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 WES Grid Concept as of today MV LV Ring feeder with open connections to other feeders Open meshed network with loop-through technique

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 The Way to a Future-Proof Distribution Grid  New Requirements at MV and LV levels Securing power quality (e.g. voltage control) Reduction of grid losses  Measures Definition and implementation of new target structures for the MV- and LV-grid Implementation of communication between all grid users to maintain high quality of supply

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Technology Choice for the MV grid  Open-ring scheme will be kept  Elimination of abundant connections  New average number of transformer stations per line 10 for the 10-kV-grid  Every 5 th station with connection to another feeder 20 for the 20-kV-grid  Every 10 th station with connection to another feeder  Maximum line current 60 % of rated  Identification of important nodes About 10 – 20 % of total Adaptation for SCADA monitoring preferable via fiber optics

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Technology Choice for the LV grid  Implementation of a LV control system Each LV feeder measured at the transformer station On-line power-flow calculation  2 options for grid enhancement Transformers with OLTC  High cost and difficult replacement Additional switches placed in important nodes  Turns „open-meshed networks“ into „meshed networks“  Comparably easy and stepwise implementation  Advantages of additional switches Reduction of grid losses at LV level Easier implementation Knowledge of load-flow enables control of DG and EV charging

Frankfurt (Germany), 6-9 June 2011 Roadmap  Stepwise transition from today to advanced smart Will take minimum 20 years Securing substantial investments for so many measures over such a long period (Regulation! New tariff-structure needed)  Optimization program started Elimination of abundant lines All new or refurbished transformer stations equipped with monitoring Additional breakers and earth-fault indicators installed preferably in feeders with OHL
