Software to manage consumption, production and stabilise the network
The American NREL has developed software called "Precise" to monitor consumption trends and maintain network stability. It could help
Photovoltaic system owners to determine the optimal inverter parameters, while helping power companies to integrate new solar panels into the grid quickly and safely.
The new tool should fill a gap in the current energy landscape, as traditional distribution networks are simply not designed for customers to generate their own electricity. In the inverter-intensive distribution grids that are emerging around the world, customers' devices have a negative impact on power quality, pushing frequency and voltage to undesirable values.
This software achieves this double optimisation by modelling the distribution networks up to the user and analysing the energy flows ; it provides unique inverter parameters tailored to each customer, all with minimal investment and labour for the power company".
