Plan network expansion based on expected load

Network operators plan network expansion, such as mobile mast sites or capacity for heat pumps and charging points

Fits: Production, engineering & maintenance · Leaders & strategy

You see earlier which local substations, lines or radio cells will reach their limits because of heat pumps, charging points or more data traffic. Expansion is planned where it is needed, instead of in response to complaints or spread thinly everywhere.

Is this for you?

  • You operate an electricity distribution grid or a mobile network and need to prioritise expansion over several years.
  • Requests for heat pumps, wallboxes, solar systems or new development areas are increasing, and planning cannot keep up with individual checks.
  • There are measurement data or load estimates per substation or cell and a network information system.
First step today

Take five local substations or radio cells with today’s peak load and capacity, and estimate what will be added in five years. Use the template below to calculate future utilisation and build a ranking. Compare the ranking with what your network planning already has on its list.

How to go about it

  1. Define the planning goal, period and limits
  2. Capture today’s load and future additions
  3. Have scenarios and an expansion proposal calculated
  4. Check the proposal technically and on site
  5. Adopt the expansion plan and inform those affected
  6. Compare the forecast with actual development every year
