Big changes are ahead for the processes and information systems in the Main Grid Control Centre, but system security must be maintained. To address this challenge, a situational awareness system was put into trial operation in the summer. The system means Fingrid’s customers will receive even better service and a faster response in the event of problems.
Google’s data centre in Hamina celebrated its 10th birthday in September. In ten years, Google has become a significant business partner and an active player that employs and trains top experts while revitalising the business structure in the Kymenlaakso region through its presence, thereby boosting the gross domestic product of Finland as a whole.
Fingrid is building a platform for the clean electricity system, which contributes to Finland’s carbon neutrality goals and creates opportunities for new consumption investments. This development is built upon Fingrid’s long-term grid planning work, which includes preparing a network vision, the main grid development programme for the next ten years, and an investment programme that results in the construction of the physical network.
Everyday life is returning to normal in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The crisis taught many companies about the importance of contingency planning and working on scenarios. The coronavirus demonstrated that Fingrid is on a strong footing with its preparedness plans.
Finland’s main grid has an excellent reliability of operation rating. There can be more than 350 disturbances per year, and faults are cleared swiftly. Mari Kiuru, Network Control Expert at Fingrid, answers our questions.
The third transmission line between Finland and Sweden, running from Pyhänselkä in Muhos, Finland, to Messaure in Northern Sweden, is proceeding as planned. Fingrid and Svenska kraftnät are jointly responsible for the project. The connection will reduce the price of electricity in Finland.
Connecting renewable forms of energy to the grid involves challenges that Fingrid tackles with R&D projects. New solutions are used to ensure the security of the energy supply and cost-effectiveness during the global energy revolution.
Project Manager Jarmo Henttinen has taken charge of the repair work at several substations that Fingrid has overhauled in recent years, as well as the construction of new substations. The overhauls of the Imatra and Länsisalmi substations, among others, have had a substantial visible impact on nationally significant landscapes.
Fingrid takes care of building and dismantling parts of the main grid. It is important to maximise the proportion of materials that are put to new uses.
