Green, wood\u00aded hills, its own nation\u00adal park and well-kept half-tim\u00adbered architecture\u2014the dis\u00adtrict of Waldeck-Franken\u00adberg is an idyl\u00adlic spot in north\u00adern Hesse and pop\u00adu\u00adlar with hik\u00aders from all over the world. Energie Waldeck-Franken\u00adberg GmbH (EWF) sup\u00adplies around 90,000 house\u00adholds in the region with elec\u00adtric\u00adi\u00adty, which is increas\u00ading\u00adly com\u00ading from renew\u00adable sources such as solar and wind. This pos\u00ades major chal\u00adlenges for the ener\u00adgy com\u00adpa\u00adny, reports Thorsten Wieck, Region\u00adal Man\u00adag\u00ader at EWF: \u201cWe may be a small\u00ader grid oper\u00ada\u00adtor, but we are also notic\u00ading major changes due to the ener\u00adgy tran\u00adsi\u00adtion in our very rur\u00adal area\u2014in some cas\u00ades even before our col\u00adleagues at the extra-high volt\u00adage lev\u00adels.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, every\u00adone is invest\u00ading in grid expan\u00adsion, and Wieck and his team receive dozens of appli\u00adca\u00adtions for new, often large PV sys\u00adtems every week. In addi\u00adtion, a wind farm with two trans\u00adform\u00aders of its own will soon be built. \u201cThere\u2019s an enor\u00admous amount of move\u00adment,\u201d says Wieck. To ensure that the pow\u00ader sup\u00adply in the more than 1,800 square kilo\u00adme\u00adter grid area func\u00adtions reli\u00adably, it is impor\u00adtant that the equip\u00adment does not fail, and this is also the case at the sub\u00adsta\u00adtion in Kor\u00adbach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wieck explains: \u201cWe are respon\u00adsi\u00adble for a total of eleven trans\u00adform\u00aders in our area. Although trans\u00adform\u00aders can func\u00adtion reli\u00adably for sev\u00ader\u00adal decades under high loads, old\u00ader sys\u00adtems are poten\u00adtial\u00adly more sus\u00adcep\u00adti\u00adble to prob\u00adlems and require more main\u00adte\u00adnance. At the same time, their uti\u00adliza\u00adtion is increas\u00ading due to changes in the grid. We there\u00adfore need to think about how we can deal with this and what we can expect in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To address these var\u00adi\u00adous ques\u00adtions, Wieck turns to his long\u00adtime Rein\u00adhausen con\u00adtact Wern\u00ader Sam\u00admet. \u201cWe have already car\u00adried out sev\u00ader\u00adal ser\u00advices for EWF and know their needs and we are good at assess\u00ading what real\u00adly ben\u00ade\u00adfits the cus\u00adtomer and where they should invest first,\u201d explains Sam\u00admet. \u201cFor UW Kor\u00adbach, I there\u00adfore rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded our dig\u00adi\u00adtal con\u00adsult\u00ading approach TESSA\u00ae FLEETSCAN 2D which allows us to cre\u00adate a detailed inven\u00adto\u00adry and get an accu\u00adrate pic\u00adture of the rel\u00ade\u00advant trans\u00adform\u00aders. We then repeat this in one to two years and com\u00adpare the results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eWe are very good at assess\u00ading what real\u00adly adds val\u00adue for the cus\u00adtomer.\u201c<\/p>\nWern\u00ader Sam\u00admet, MR Area Sales Man\u00adag\u00ader<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An impor\u00adtant basis for Thorsten Wieck: \u201cInstead of just a snap\u00adshot, we need a con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adous, reg\u00adu\u00adlar analy\u00adsis to iden\u00adti\u00adfy trends at an ear\u00adly stage\u2014so that we can act in good time before some\u00adthing breaks down. To do this, how\u00adev\u00ader, we need to know what the ini\u00adtial sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion is. With a part\u00adner like MR, we have the spe\u00adcial\u00adist knowl\u00adedge we need to ensure that our equip\u00adment con\u00adtin\u00adues to run reli\u00adably for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade for Sensor Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Analy\u00adsis alone is not enough, and an eval\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion is only as good as its data. This is why EWF is also invest\u00ading in new mon\u00adi\u00adtor\u00ading devices such as a MESSKO\u00ae oil lev\u00adel indi\u00adca\u00adtor, a MESSKO\u00ae ther\u00admome\u00adter, and the main\u00adte\u00adnance-free MESSKO\u00ae MTRAB\u00ae dehy\u00addrat\u00ading breather which pre\u00advents the ingress of mois\u00adture and increas\u00ades oper\u00ada\u00adtional safe\u00adty, while at the same time pro\u00advid\u00ading impor\u00adtant mea\u00adsured vari\u00adables. \u201cWe have often pur\u00adchased spare parts from MESSKO\u00ae and have also had good expe\u00adri\u00adence with the MTRAB\u00ae, empha\u00adsizes Wieck, \u201cIt was there\u00adfore clear to us that we would also use it here\u2014on one of the trans\u00adform\u00aders, but also on two reac\u00adtors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are more depen\u00addent than ever on our equip\u00adment always being in the best pos\u00adsi\u00adble con\u00addi\u00adtion.\u201c<\/p>\nThorsten Wieck, Region\u00adal Man\u00adag\u00ader EWF<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The main\u00adte\u00adnance-free breather keeps the oil insu\u00adla\u00adtion dry, and regen\u00ader\u00adates the des\u00adic\u00adcant based on its con\u00addi\u00adtion, mean\u00ading that no replace\u00adment is nec\u00ades\u00adsary. This saves the ser\u00advice team valu\u00adable time, and EWF can also read out the val\u00adues remote\u00adly via an app. The oil lev\u00adel and tem\u00adper\u00ada\u00adture indi\u00adca\u00adtors as well as the three new MTRAB\u00aes are installed by MR\u2019s ser\u00advice tech\u00adni\u00adcians. \u201cOur cus\u00adtomers can fit a ther\u00admome\u00adter themselves\u2014it\u2019s a sim\u00adple plug and play principle\u2014but the oil-lev\u00adel indi\u00adca\u00adtor is tricky so our spe\u00adcial\u00adists pre\u00adfer to do that them\u00adselves,\u201d explains Sam\u00admet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well equipped<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The work in Kor\u00adbach went accord\u00ading to plan and for Wieck this is just the begin\u00adning: \u201cMain\u00adtain\u00ading our assets in an even more tar\u00adget\u00aded man\u00adner with the knowl\u00adedge gained from the ongo\u00ading TESSA\u00ae FLEETSCAN 2D analy\u00adses is essen\u00adtial. A lot can also be done direct\u00adly on our premis\u00ades using MR equip\u00adment.\u201d Dis\u00adman\u00adtling a trans\u00adformer for analy\u00adsis and repairs and send\u00ading it across the coun\u00adtry, as was com\u00admon prac\u00adtice in the past, is no longer eco\u00adnom\u00adi\u00adcal. The trans\u00adporta\u00adtion costs are far too high, and roads and bridges are some\u00adtimes unsuit\u00adable. Nowa\u00addays, for\u00adtu\u00adnate\u00adly, every\u00adthing can be done on site or even remote\u00adly.\u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet\u00adter analy\u00adsis options and sim\u00adpli\u00adfied main\u00adte\u00adnance are cru\u00adcial for grid oper\u00ada\u00adtors like EWF in order to keep equip\u00adment in opti\u00admum con\u00addi\u00adtion for years despite increas\u00ading capac\u00adi\u00adty uti\u00adliza\u00adtion,\u201d says Sam\u00admet. He fur\u00adther adds :\u201cEspe\u00adcial\u00adly in the cur\u00adrent\u00adly dif\u00adfi\u00adcult sup\u00adply sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion with trans\u00adformer man\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adtur\u00aders and an enor\u00admous price increase for new trans\u00adform\u00aders, I think EWF\u2019s deci\u00adsion is exact\u00adly right. With an aver\u00adage trans\u00adformer age of 40 years, oper\u00ada\u00adtors and ener\u00adgy sup\u00adpli\u00aders in Ger\u00admany should mon\u00adi\u00adtor their most impor\u00adtant assets in the sub\u00adsta\u00adtion more close\u00adly in view of new chal\u00adlenges and increas\u00ading ener\u00adgy demand in order to extend the ser\u00advice life as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble and ensure a smooth pow\u00ader sup\u00adply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
