Technological Solutions: Grid Modernization Plan to Combat Rising Losses
Smart Grids, Brighter Future: BEL's Vision for Automation and Modernization.
With the integration of distributed generation technologies, battery storage and electric vehicles, the nature of the modern power system has dramatically changed. This, along with heightened customer expectations for even more reliable supply and participative autonomy, has led to the critical need to modernize the electricity grid.
Embracing Technological Solutions: The Grid Modernization Plan
Our Grid Modernization Plan will transition the network to a smarter grid through initiatives such as upgrading to smart meters, establishing a robust communication network, and enhancing grid visibility with advanced monitoring capabilities.
Enhanced grid visibility and control will also be realized with the upgrade of existing switching devices and the strategic placement of grid sensors, transformer monitors equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities. In addition, to supporting the ability for automatic restoration schemes in the future, projects are being implemented to create interconnection opportunities and redundancies in the distribution network.
These efforts are expected to bring about significant benefits, including enhanced reliability through advanced monitoring and control of the network, increased integration of renewable energy sources, and improved efficiency through optimizing energy distribution. Grid modernization will also enable quicker response times to outages and better management of the system peak demand, ultimately leading to a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure.
