It’s been a fantastic first day at the CIRED 2024 Vienna Workshop. Highlights from today’s sessions include: DI Thomas Maderbacher, Chief Executive Officer, at Wiener Netze GmbH , Austria opened the workshop with his insights on Empowering the grid of tomorrow – discussing the many obstacles that need to be worked on including the legal regulations, robust forecast models, grid analysis and online data exchange between TSO and DSO. We then heard from Therese Åsheim, of Heimdall Power, Norway who explained as much as 99% of high voltage power lines are not monitored by sensors resulting in low observability and underutilisation of the grid’s assets and about the mounting pressure on the electricity grid. Our third keynote speaker, Patricia Neumann, Chief Executive Officer at Siemens then spoke about their commitment to decarbonisation; new pathway target of 55% reduction by FY25 and a new target to accelerate to 90% reduction by FY30. These keynotes really summarised the core messages for the workshop before diving into the first of our oral sessions providing an opportunity for our speakers to present their abstracts on enhancing hosting capacity through new methods for network planning and design. The afternoon’s sessions then started with a round table discussion: “Which needs must be satisfied by the DNO within standard connections? “ “What should be the minimum capacity for customers?” Just some of the questions concerning the issues most important in assessing hosting capacity. Our poster gallery then saw the opportunity to meet the authors and discuss their research before our second oral session on network operation and control supporting increased hosting capacity. All this was rounded off by bringing people together at our drink’s reception. We look forward to another exciting day tomorrow! #CIRED #ElectricityDistribution #EnergyTransition
