- LV Insights X software key to accelerating energy transition and path to net zero
- Future-proof software to increase grid capacity in existing power networks
- Distribution grid operators can set up digital twin of low-voltage grids
- Reduced outage times by up to 30 percent, increased insights on critical segments, capacity and limit violations of power grid
- LV Insights X is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Siemens is taking
another important step to accelerate the energy transition: As an industry
first, the company today presented its newly developed software for low-voltage
grids. LV Insights X software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio,
enables distribution grid operators (DSO) to tackle their most pressing
challenge: the need to significantly increase grid capacity while grids are
already pushed to their limits by the fast increase of decentralized renewable
energy infeed and additional consumers such as EV chargers or heat pumps. To avoid
power grids from becoming the bottleneck of the energy transition, utilities urgently
need to increase their grid capacity and actively manage the low-voltage grid.
