Ralf Korntner has always been an excellent voice on the direction of travel of energy systems and the challenge encountered to transform today's power girds to be future-ready. This article from Ralf discusses the urgent need for autonomous grid management to address the increasing complexity of energy systems due to decentralized resources and rising electricity demands. He states that by 2030, distributed energy resources (DERs) are expected to grow sevenfold. This exact factor of growth we will see in Ireland where the renewable growth in PV is expected to move from 1GW today to 8GW by 2030. Such growth will necessitate a shift from traditional grid operations to smart, autonomous technologies. This transformation will enable real-time data collection and decision-making, enhancing efficiency and reliability. Key elements include integrating IoT devices, advanced analytics, and machine learning, alongside necessary investments in infrastructure and training. Regulatory support and a prosumer-centric approach are essential for realizing a sustainable, resilient power grid. A fast-moving landscape at the distribution level for an industry that is used to planning and implementing in 5 - 8-year cycles. Utilities have done it before, however the technologies to deploy are very different to what was deployed in the past.

At the 2024 BIXPO KEPCO R&D Conference, I presented on the foundational technologies for the future power grid under the FIRST (Flexibility, Integration, Resilience, Sustainable energy Transition) framework and outlined strategic tasks to make this vision actionable. Notably, in the panel session, I strongly advocated for an innovative business model, SPV (Smarter Power Village), to address the integration of hyper-scale market participants. SPV is a next-generation platform designed for the efficient and cohesive operation of the power grid, integrating large-scale loads like GW-level data centers with flexible resources such as DER and ESS, STATCOM. Within the SPV, a Micro-EMS platform models and optimizes these loads as composite flexible resources, facilitating a robust and adaptive grid architecture. Additionally, SPV aims to incorporate DC power supply and superconducting networks, unifying diverse smart technologies into a more resilient and intelligent power infrastructure. The successful implementation of FIRST technologies necessitates the creation of an integrated data platform (SCADA-ADMS) across transmission and distribution. Collaboration on unified DER and ESS management, redefined voltage control authority, and SPV resource integration requires a paradigm shift, moving beyond traditional boundaries of transmission and distribution to a holistic management model. Achieving carbon neutrality in grid expansion demands the participation of government entities and private enterprises, especially in Korea. Moreover, a competitive carbon-free market, where renewable operators can bid based on cost-effectiveness considering transmission construction cost, will be essential. I look forward to insightful feedback and advice from experts in the field. Let’s work together to shape an innovative and sustainable future power grid through SPV!
