CIGRE 2018 took place at Paris from August 25th until 31st. Digitalization provides the key to success in the increasingly distributed energy landscape. Siemens experts explained how to make these changing energy systems even more safe and efficient. Digitalization enables predictive planning and new business models beyond just the provision of grid capacity.

First use in the high-voltage grid: SF6-free circuit breaker from Siemens for Netze BW
Siemens has received an order from the distribution grid operator Netze BW GmbH to modernize and expand its 110-kV transformer substation in Noerdlingen. Siemens will install its new 3AV1 outdoor circuit breaker with vacuum-interruption technology and a combined voltage and current converter, including clean-air insulation, in a 110-kV high-voltage grid for the first time. The switchgear thus requires no SF6 insulating gas. The order also includes retrofitting and expanding the existing air-insulated switchgear, including protection and control systems and work on cables and overhead lines. The new equipment is expected to be commissioned by the middle of 2018.
Substation future built in
Digital technology really excels when it comes to the automation, monitoring, and protection of a substation. That's why Siemens digital substations offer considerable added value: they come with the future built in. Thanks to comprehensive IoT connectivity, the heart of the power supply also becomes the heart of energy data communication. Siemens digital substations enable greater business agility and increased operational efficiency. At the same time, they contribute to better grid availability and reliability as well as an optimized management of investments throughout the entire life cycle from planning to operation and maintenance.
The frequency stabilizer SVC PLUS FS supports power grids in milliseconds
With its SVC Plus Frequency Stabilizer (FS), Siemens is the world's first supplier to combine reactive power compensation capability with the use of so-called supercapacitors. The SVC Plus FS can feed the reactive power needed for stable grid operation in less than 50 milliseconds. At the same time, the up to 200 megawatts of electric power stored in the supercapacitors can be transferred to the grid at full load. As a result, the voltage and frequency, and thus also the grid, remain stable.
