SUMMARY
The SWIFT project aims to maximize the integration of wind turbines in the distribution grid while minimizing the amount of lost wind energy at the lowest possible overall cost. Through the use of innovative forecasting, active network and demand side management methods, the project will increase the hosting capacity of the distribution grid, and consequently, open up opportunities for more renewable power generation.

SOLUTIONS
-
Analysing and identifying:
- Which grid segments need real-time monitoring and protection (spatial resolution of grid boundaries)?
- What is the best time window to avoid unstable/nervous control?
- What is the hosting capacity given local grid constraints and a minimal return on investment for investors?
- How to include fairness in the load balancing algorithm, to avoid always cutting off the same producer?
- How to implement this ICT strategy across the stakeholders using standards for telecontrol & grid management?
- How do the different parameters impact the overall capacity of the grid?
