The growing importance of flexible grid connections

Flexible grid connections will become increasingly important as electricity networks face rising demand, capacity constraints, and the rapid expansion of renewable energy. Under the new Electricity Market Act in Finland, distribution system operators must offer flexible connection options in areas where traditional connection capacity is limited or where increasing capacity would require significant grid investments.

This enables customers to connect to the grid more quickly, even if the initial connection capacity is limited — if power can be controlled and curtailed reliably. To ensure the safe and reliable operation of these connections, a power control solution is required.

Power control solution for flexible grid connections

Our power control solution ensures safe, predictable, and compliant operation for flexible grid connections. It continuously monitors power at the connection point in real time and automatically limits the facility’s power when predefined thresholds are approached. The system reacts quickly to load changes, supports continuous operation even during communication interruptions, and provides clear visibility into events, alarms, and facility performance.

By combining automatic control, a reliable backup system, and comprehensive monitoring, the power control system enables industrial facilities, renewable energy plants, and large energy consumers to operate efficiently while meeting all requirements set by the grid operator.

Key features

  • Automatic power limitation according to the contractual connection point limits.
  • Fast response to load variations and abnormal operating conditions.
  • Real-time monitoring and alarms to support situational awareness and event management.
  • Data logging and reporting to support operational monitoring and compliance with contractual obligations.
