Photovoltaic systems and other renewable energy sources are increasingly being integrated into our electricity grids. These mixing plants present us with new challenges. A key element in meeting these challenges is reactive power management.

Reactive power management makes it possible to keep the voltage in the grid at a stable level and avoid overloads. It plays a crucial role in optimizing the energy flows in the grid and ensuring that the energy is used efficiently.

Find out why grid stability and reactive power management are indispensable components on the way to a secure energy future and what you as a grid operator can contribute to securing the energy supply of tomorrow.

The role of reactive power management for grid operators

As a grid operator, you are responsible for ensuring a reliable and efficient energy supply. Functioning reactive power management for your customers is a key component for grid stability.

Advantages of reliable network management:

  • Avoid voltage fluctuations:
    A stabilized grid is essential to prevent unwanted voltage dips. With effective management, your customers can help to ensure that the electricity grid remains even and stable. This increases the overall security of the electricity system. Targeted control keeps the grid voltage constant, which improves the service life and reliability of electrical devices and systems.
  • Reduce operating costs:
    Minimized power losses mean lower energy costs. Well thought-out management can maximize the efficiency of electricity use and thus reduce operating costs. This not only contributes to improved economic efficiency, but also to the conservation of resources and a sustainable energy supply.
  • Increase grid reliability:
    A stable grid ensures a continuous energy supply for all. Effective management increases the reliability of the grid. This means that everyone benefits from a constant power supply without interruptions, which is particularly important for sensitive industries and critical infrastructures.
