Fingrid and Svenska Kraftnät are working together to design a new electricity transmission link from Messaure in Northern Sweden to Pyhänselkä to the southeast of Oulu in Finland.
Heidi Oja and Max Isaksson write crossing statements for Fingrid. In recent times, 400–500 statements have been written each year, and the rate is only increasing. But what is a crossing statement?
Sirpa Kulmala has enjoyed a grandstand view of the development of Finnish energy system.
International collaboration between transmission system operators provides valuable experience with monitoring systems and boost the cost-efficiency of development work. The Finnish partners identified through innovation competitions have significantly expedited the development of the digital monitoring system at Fingrid.
Fingrid’s network vision analyses the need to strengthen the main grid by 2035 and 2045. The electricity transmission capacity must be boosted substantially, but in terms of the main grid, the objective of a carbon-neutral Finland by 2035 is within reach.
Short-term generation and consumption forecasts are based on weather forecasts purchased from commercial operators. Fingrid refines the weather forecasts to produce electrotechnical quantities such as wind power generation and consumption volumes.
A simulation method based on probability calculations was introduced last winter. The method had previously been utilised for mid-term power adequacy assessments.
The urban Western Boulevard City planned by the City of Helsinki will require Helen Electricity Network’s high-voltage overhead lines and substation in the area to be moved. This will only be possible if Fingrid, the transmission system operator, brings forward its plans to build a 400-kilovolt live power feed to the city centre. Collaboration has resulted in a solution that enables third-party schedules to be coordinated optimally.
Fingrid has built a new digital service for service providers. My Fingrid for Partners will be deployed in phases, and it will replace FGPartners by the autumn.
This decade, Fingrid will invest a record EUR 2 billion in electricity networks and substations on Finland’s main grid.
