Description
PRONUTEC S.A.U. is a cutting edge company dedicated to the manufacture and commercialization of equipment for the electrical low voltage distribution. Research and development of Smart Grids has been focused to date on smart metering and control software of the electricity companies in its central stations. However, there are no other hardware contributions known within this area. Nowadays, there is a lack of information as data knowledge by phase is not enough to optimize the operation of the electricity network. For an efficient management of the network, more information must be known in real time, like consumption, power, connectivity (connected clients), etc. both at transformer and at each line level. The overall objective of SmartLVPanel is to provide intelligence and communication to the LV Panel, making more efficient the control and management of the electricity distribution network, with advanced feeder supervision and automatic feeder mapping of network parameters, consumption and connectivity for each line of the network.
Summary of project results
To date, the research and development of the Smart Grid has been focused on smart metering and control software of the electricity companies in central positions. However, there are no other hardware contributions known within the Smart Grid. Nowadays, there is a lack of information as data knowledge by phase is not enough to optimize the operation of the electricity network. The overall objective is to provide intelligence and communication to the LV Panel, making more efficient the control and management of the electricity distribution network, with advanced feeder supervision and automatic feeder mapping of network parameters, consumption and connectivity for each line of the network. The main market potential of this project is the sector of electricity companies both national and international. The project has been developed successfully.
