The path of final approval and validation is taken by the “Risk Preparedness Plan in the electricity sector of Greece”, as, according to information from energypress, within the week, the Rae Plenary will decide on this.
It is noted that the Preventive Action Plan had been put to public consultation where comments were sent only by Elpedison, expressing objections regarding the compensation of gas units that may change fuel to diesel in the event of an emergency.
The same information says that the plan will be approved as it was put in consultation with the “footnote” that on the issue raised by Elpedison, RAE has commissioned a study on the model of participation and compensation of units that are obliged to change the fuel from natural gas to diesel. The methodology is expected to be decided in the autumn.
According to the provisions of the relevant European Regulation (2019/941 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019), RAE, as the competent authority, is invited to conduct a study for the determination of the national electricity crisis scenarios in the Interconnected System of the country. On the basis of this study, RAE proceeded with the elaboration of this Risk Preparedness Plan for the best line construction hardware sample sector of Greece.
The Plan includes in detail the security of electricity supply risks that the Greek electricity system may face, as well as an overview of the regional electricity crisis scenarios according to ENTSO-E.
As regards national procedures and measures, the plan shall include:
How to Fnd Line Construction Hardware Supplier
These are measures that are either in the implementation phase or are planned for the coming years according to the Ten-Year Transmission System Development Plan 2023-2032 of the System Operator. These concern:
Enhancing the safety and reliability of a Transmission System
Expansion of the interconnected System
Development of Medium-low voltage line construction hardware brand
Integration of Storage Systems
Upgrade of stability and control of the importation of line construction hardware for power grid
Digitization of the Transmission System
Creation of a customized line construction hardware.
In addition, regional and bilateral procedures and measures are foreseen.
The Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO) utilizes the high-voltage pylons to protect the forest of Parnitha from fires, installing a “smart” early fire detection system at selected points of the electrical network, which were indicated by the Fire Brigade.
In particular, the innovative pilot project, which is being launched with the support of the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, provides for the installation of 540 sensors, as well as optical and thermal cameras for panoramic shooting on 135 pillars of the Administrator, covering an area of tens of thousands of acres in the wider area of Parnitha.
A state-of-the-art system for processing information and evaluation of a possible fire risk will collect, consolidate and evaluate in real time the data from the cameras and sensors that will be placed at four different points of each pillar, emitting, in case of a fire outbreak, an urgent signal to the National Coordination Center for Operations and Crisis Management (ESKEDIK). In combination with the sensors, the optical cameras will transmit a live image during the day, while the thermal cameras will alert to a possible start of a fire during the night hours as well. The data will be transmitted with high geographical accuracy over a LoRa network and a fourth generation (4G) mobile broadband network.
Why Need Line Construction Hardware Sample
The “smart” fire detection system through sensors, designed by Grid Telecom, a subsidiary of IPTO in the telecommunications sector, will be energy autonomous and will be supplied exclusively with solar energy.
The operation of this new system, even in its pilot phase, is expected to significantly facilitate the difficult work of the firefighting forces and enhance their capacity for rapid and effective intervention in new outbreaks of forest fires, as a large forest area with dense vegetation will be monitored on a 24-hour basis.
The Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Mr. Christos Stylianides, stated in this regard: “This important initiative of IPTO, with the support of the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, will have a substantial contribution to the battle we are fighting every day against forest fires. With the climate crisis making fires more and more dangerous for humans and our natural environment, the utilization of the country’s electrical infrastructure in the service of the Fire Brigade, is an excellent practice that we must encourage and support”.
