ED Netze: Customer Story Key Figures
Digital functions increase the resilience of the power system
The equivalent of 2,166 tons of CO2 saved
Sustainable energy distribution for future generations
With our support, ED Netze GmbH has implemented a 110/20 kV substation with 17 medium voltage switchgear cubicles that avoid the greenhouse gas SF6. It helps integrate an increasing number of distributed energy resource (DER) systems into the energy network. This promotes the growth of industry in the region with enhanced environmental safety.
The accelerating integration of DER and the industry growth require a forward-looking expansion of the power supply in Löffingen. To meet environmental requirements and ensure high performance and future viability, we need robust and sustainable solutions. The answer is to eliminate the use of the SF6 and take advantage of new digital technologies.
ED Netze uses 17 gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) MV cubicles in their new substation. Instead of SF6, it has pure air insulation. Native sensors and digital functions of the power system enable proactive monitoring and processes such as preventive maintenance. It increases the personnel safety, resilience, and longevity of the MV network.
