Nationwide overhead line monitoring with highly precise weather data is a potential remedy to provide more wind and solar energy and save costs.<\/h5>\n<p>The increasing share of renewable energy increases the demand for transmission capacity to a degree, which existing power grids cannot live up to. <em>\u201eIn order to avoid shortages in transmission capacity, operators frequently have to intervene in grid operations\u201c<\/em>, analyses Alexander Lehmann, Managing Director of UBIMET Germany.<\/p>\n<p>These interventions totaled no less than \u20ac 1.4 billion for German power grid operators in 2017. Eventually this cost is paid for by consumers via their electricity bills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gigantic loss of wind and solar power<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given the lack of transmission capacity, shutdowns of wind and solar power procuction become increasingly common. <em>\u201eWe are not talking about peanuts as this year\u2019s January has shown again\u201c, says Lehmann.\u201c<\/em> On New Year\u2019s Day at times 6 gigawatt of production had to be deactivated. That equals the output of several nuclear \u00a0power plants,\u201c\u00a0 Lehmann calculates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Federal government seeks to improve transmission capacity of existing grids<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the Federal Minister of Economic Affairs, Peter Altmaier, Germany\u2019s effort to expand its grid network is \u201ecatastrophically lagging behind\u201c. Consequently, last summer his ministry launched the so-called \u201eAction Plan Power Grid\u201c. The main concern of this paper, prior to a long and tedious grid expansion, \u00a0is a \u201econsistent, nationwide monitoriong of overhead lines in real time to better utilize existing grids.\u201c<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> Or as it says on the first page \u201dWe have to optimize existing grid networks with new technologies and operation concepts.\u201d<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Overhead line monitoring with highly precise weather data <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eOverhead line monitoring can almost double the transmission capacity of existing grids under very good environmental conditions\u201d<\/em>, says Alexander Lehmann. Apart from the electricity flow in the conductor, the main influencing factos are the meteorological variables such as air temperature, wind as well as solar radiation. \u201eIn a nutshell: If we have more cooling wind, we can put more electricity through the power lines,\u201d says Lehmann.<\/p>\n<p>Prerequisite for overhead line monitoring are highly precise weather data. <em>\u201eFor Germany as well as other European countries, UBIMET is calculating a weather model with a resolution of 100 meters. The data is then transferred in real time via an interface (API) to the customer\u201d<\/em>, explains Lehmann.<\/p>\n<p>UBIMET presents ist high precision solutions for the energy industry from February 5<sup>th<\/sup> to 7<sup>th<\/sup> at the E-world 2019 in Essen (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-world-essen.com\/fileadmin\/groups\/1\/pdfs\/de\/2019\/E-world_2019_Hallenplan_Floorplan_01.pdf\">hall 3 \u2013 booth 351<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> BMWi, Aktionsplan Stromnetz, 14\/08\/2018, p. 2<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Ibid., p. 1<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":21691,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"categories":[6779,26,1551],"tags":[6892,6895,6887,6889,6890,6893,6888,6894,6891],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>High Voltage 2.0 - UBIMET<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Germany\u2019s Energiewende exceeds the limitations of domestic power grids.
