Pfalzwerke Netz AG has just signed a contract with Heimdall Power to increase observability in their power grid.
The solutions provided by Heimdall Power will also help Pfalzwerke Netz (PWN), to determine power flows in their grid. This new insight will be used to improve the estimation of the state of their 110kV grid. In the larger picture, it means that they now can increase their grid utilization, while at the same time maintain a high level of operational security.
