The need for development in power grids shares a fundamental theme universally: an increasingly strained situation for connections and significantly more flexibility required from customers. At the same time, societies face enormous investments in these networks, which will be challenging to accomplish in time if we are to meet our climate goals. Consequently, a great deal of innovation is now necessary to understand how power grids can benefit from improved management to not only increase production but also to correctly direct flexibility. How does one transition a power grid that has historically focused on maintenance and physical investments to one that embraces digitalization as a core competency? Jonas van den Bogaard, Digital Lead at Alliander, sees many changes ahead if the power grids are to meet this challenge. He has a clear vision of how we need to collaborate to develop the capabilities that future power grids will require to offer cost-effective and robust power systems.

De som har de största problemen har också de största anledningarna att fixa dem. För ur ett tillgänglighetsperspektiv är vi väldigt bortskämda med vårt elnät i Sverige. Nästan alltid tillgängligt och gott om möjligheter att ansluta, i alla fall om man jämför med många länder i Europa. Hur gör då de länder som har mycket större problem än vi, men ändå med en lika pressande agenda att ställa om? Därför söker vi oss utanför Sverige för att hämta inspiration. Den här gången finner vi det hos Alliander, en stor DSO i Nederländerna som använder Open Source för att snabba på utvecklingstakten i digtialiseringen av elnätet. Jonas van den Bogaard är Digital Lead hos elnätsbolaget med 3 miljoner abonnenter. Han ser framför sig en snar framtid med tusentals flexibla resurser och en mycket snabbare digital styrning av nätet. Allt för att klara av omställningen utan att behöva göra för stora investeringar.
