Starovice : Smartg SMART HOUSE PHENOMENON IS COMPLETED BY SMART NETWORKS - SMART GRIDS. BOTH IS CONNECTED, FOR EXAMPLE, IN STAROVICE IN BŘECLAV, WHERE A UNIQUE SMART VILLAGE PROJECT IS BUILT. WHAT CAN THE ELECTRICAL NETWORKS OF THE FUTURE DO AND WHAT IS THEIR MEANING?
A unique laboratory is being established in Starovice near Hustopeče. 41 family houses equipped with photovoltaics and heat pumps also count on wallboxes for recharging electric cars. The investor of new family houses in a low-energy standard is the company Přemysl Veselý invest and in terms of energy the project is provided by the company E.ON, which will equip the location with a smart energy network, the so-called Smart Grid. At present, the infrastructure in Starovice has been completed and the construction of family houses is beginning. The first people could move into the smart homes there at the end of 2021. „We deploy not only a smart transformer station, but also an electrical network with two-way data communication. Thanks to it, for example, we are better capable to control and manage the distribution system,” explains Lukáš Svoboda, who is in charge of Smart City projects at E.ON. : What data do you get with Smart-Grid technology? In particular, the data needed for monitoring and control of the distribution system. Thanks to the advent of Smart Grids, we are moving smart elements to lower voltage levels, and thus closer to customers. At distribution transformer stations we have an accurate overview of all electrical quantities and the state of individual elements. The customer‘s smart electricity meter measures voltages, currents, powers, even in individual phases directly at the point
of consumption. The measured data from transformer stations and smart meters then meet in central systems, where we work with them to control the distribution system. According to the measured data, we also plan to modernize and develop electrical networks. : Can municipalities also use this data? Of course, we do not keep the measured data to ourselves. We will provide them to the owners of collection points in a clear form through a web portal. We are preparing special websi-
