The days of predictable power flows on transmission and distribution grids are now in the past, putting pressure on the planning of grid upgrades (capital expenditures) and outages for maintenance (operating expenditures).
In turn, it is harder for grid operators to determine where grid upgrades (capital expenditures) are necessary and which operational changes are required to secure the necessary outage slots and deliver on their committed preventive-maintenance programs (operating expenditures).
This is a challenge that many transmission and distribution grid operators already face today.
In a recent benchmarking exercise with global grid operators, 70 percent of respondents report that they expect an increase in issues, such as the frequent cancellation of outages on short notice and the curtailment of renewable generation.
Highly meshed grids typically have a higher tolerance for accommodating unpredictable renewable feed ins, while in areas with limited grid redundancy, the operators experience challenges at lower adoption levels.
Some of the transmission and distribution grid operators at the forefront of the energy transition need to cancel 10 to 20 percent of outages on a short notice, or they run the risk of curtailing renewables and incurring higher operations and maintenance costs than budgeted.
Many transmission and distribution grid operators are already experimenting with different solutions to overcome these challenges.
For example, some grid operators are becoming more agile in outage planning and execution, while others are shortening outage durations by shifting maintenance work to nights and weekends or by investing more in grid upgrades and smart-grid technologies.
Most grid operators are applying an assortment of measures based on the challenges and costs that come with mitigation
