Reserve Power – Alternative Solution to the Network Investments in Rural Area Networks?

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionScientificpeer-review

    Abstract

    The new legislative requirements and all the time tightening economic regulation cause a great pressure for Finnish distribution system operators to improve the
    security of power supply. Underground cabling has been seen in many cases basically the only but at the same time very expensive solution to solve this problem. This paper presents that with the help of reserve power solutions it is possible to fulfill the requirements especially in sparsely populated rural areas. The results show the profitability of utilizing reserve power generators instead of investing in the cabled network. In addition, the calculations support the fact that customers should at least consider purchasing own reserve power.
