ENERGIX-Stort program energi

Optimal Power Network Design and Operation

Awarded: NOK 7.7 mill.

-

The focus of this KMB will be to improve the design and operation of electrical power transmission systems through the use of advanced control and optimization techniques to both transmission system design and operation. The overall objective will be to ensure security of power supply in the face of uncertainties on both the supply and demand side, while optimizing economic efficiency of the system focusing on capacity utilization and transmission losses. Significant contributions towards this objective will reduce investment cost in new transmission capacity as a consequence of making better investment choices for capacity expansions and new capacity. In addition it is expected that more flexible operation and better integration between the physical sy stem and the market may in some cases reduce the need to invest and thus also reduce the environmental impact of transmission lines and the political controversies surrounding their construction. Increased flexibility in operation will accommodate the mo re challenging scenarios that are expected in the future due to more variable power production from wind power and small-scale hydroelectric plants.
