Build Predictive Machine Learning with Flink | Workshop on Dec 18 | Register Now
The energy transition has brought with it a wave of new challenges for the high-voltage grid. One of the central problems is the volatility of renewable energies. A future-proof control center must have enough flexibility to meet the demands of the energy market in real time.
Existing industrial systems cannot meet the requirements of modern network operators. Our projects aim to solve these challenges with sophisticated event-based architectures, with Apache Kafka at its core. These architectures need to solve complex requirements like switching high critical grid assets and integrate hundreds of thousands of sensors. We used a couple of event- based patterns like SAGAs, Event Sourcing and more to overcome those challenges. Additionally, we had to integrate the OT systems in this modern tech stack. (IEC, OPCUA)
Some projects are already in shadow operation and are expected to steer first grid parts in 2025.
