“Intelligent local grid” project
celebrates its completion:LACROIX confirms its
leading role in smart grids in Germany
In June, LACROIX Environment activity joined
wesernetz Bremerhaven to celebrate the completion of their
"intelligent local grid" project in the northern German city of
Bremerhaven.
Telecontrol systems from LACROIX (SAE IT-systems
in Germany) have been in use by wesernetz Bremerhaven since 2011
for monitoring and operational management of the gas, water,
district heat and electricity networks. As a network operator in
the maritime city of Bremerhaven, wesernetz Bremerhaven GmbH's
service portfolio includes the transport, storage and metering of
energy and drinking water. Its supply area covers approx. 114,000
inhabitants, an area of 7,763 hectares with a pipeline network of
over 2,700 kilometers in length. The electricity network takes up
about 1,292km of this and has 78,964 E-house connections, 306km of
which consist of medium-voltage cable (20kV). The annual
electricity sales of wesernetz Bremerhaven amounted to 478.9
million kWh in 2020.
As part of the project to replace outdated
technology, the local substations were upgraded to meet new network
management requirements in terms of transparency and
controllability, as well as safety and reliability. For example,
substations must consistently be switchable in future, in order to
ensure shorter downtimes in the event of faults. The connection of
network analysis systems, short-circuit and earth-fault indicators
as well as protection devices to the LACROIX telecontrol system
enables precise monitoring of the network status. A comprehensive
redundancy concept and extensive IT security measures in accordance
with the ISO 27001 standard round off the project.
The project, which began in 2018, has now been
completed, with a total of 422 LACROIX telecontrol stations
installed to help ensure the future security of Bremen’s supply
networks. What makes this even more remarkable, the project has
reached completion with no delays, despite significant challenges
caused by the component crisis and the pandemic.
"We have been working with SAE IT Systems, a
LACROIX brand in Germany, successfully for 11 years, and are very
proud to be able to complete this major project in Bremerhaven
without any delays" says wesernetz Bremerhaven GmbH project manager
Oliver Martens, "thanks to LACROIX technology, we are well prepared
for all challenges in the power grid in the coming years."
“This project is a perfect illustration of our
smart positioning, know-how and proximity with our customers”,
continues Ronald Vrancken, President of LACROIX Germany, “a
four-year project of retrofitting the existing infrastructure with
telecontrol stations to make it smarter and more secure, all this
without delays. We’re very grateful to have had the chance to help
wesernetz Bremerhaven transition to a smarter grid.”
