Wermelskirchen relies on digital power grids for more supply security
Wermelskirchen welcomes a positive message from the region: The local electricity supplier Bew has recently announced that the power grids "in a good responsibility Condition ”. This is reflected in the average power downtime, which is 9.96 minutes, which is better than the nationwide average of 10.6 minutes in 2022. These figures show that the infrastructure in the region is stable and reliable.
As part of the energy transition, various changes can be observed. The increase in photovoltaic systems, heat pumps and charging stations significantly changes the loads of the power distribution networks. As a result, the need for further investments and a more comprehensive expansion of the network infrastructure shows.
New technologies make further power grid expansion necessary
Progressing digitization is a crucial factor. Bewel announced that the first three digital local network stations (Digions) have already been integrated into the existing power grid. This development is not just a sign of progress, but necessary to meet the upcoming requirements.
After the summer vacation, for example, a digital local network station was put into operation in Wipperfürth. On September 30, two other ward locations followed in Wermelskirchen, including one in the new Lochesplatz shopping center. These digital station solutions are intended to increase the efficiency and flexibility of the power grid.
In contrast to conventional local network stations, digital stations have the ability to transmit data in real time, which enables immediate analysis and adaptation of the network. Sebastian Kersten, authorized representative at Bew, explains the importance of this technology: "Local network stations change medium voltage into customary low voltage, i.e. 230 volts. Digital local network stations have the same function, but also transfer live data via mobile radio or fiber optic to the control station." This not only enables more efficient network management, but also improves the reliability of the power supply.This is the meaning of the digital networks
The digital infrastructure will be able to quickly identify and insulate unforeseen occurrences such as power failures. Marcel Gaschler, project manager of the digons program, emphasizes: "Middle-tension switching fields can be controlled from a distance, which means that certain sub-networks can be separated or switched over in the event of a fault." This flexibility is particularly relevant in times of climate change, since extreme weather events can represent additional challenges for energy supply.
The company relies on a combination of long -term thinking and technological progress. "We rely on a balanced mix of 'heads' in the sense of digitization and 'copper' in the sense of network expansion," explains Kersten.
Investments in the future are not only limited to digitization. In the coming years, Bew is planning to extensively renew several stations in the catchment area and to modernize existing facilities. These measures are necessary to avoid bottlenecks and ensure security of supply.
BEW managing director Jens Langner adds: "The new digital local network stations strengthen the security of supply in the region. Especially in the context of the energy transition, powerful networks are essential to support the transition to renewable energy sources, such as the increased use of solar systems and electric vehicles." These statements clarify that the Wermelskirchen region is not only the latest state of the art, but also actively works on the design of a sustainable energy future.
