MCCS: THE FUTURE OF SYSTEM OPERATIONS

By 2032, 50Hertz aims to integrate an annual average of 100 percent renewable
energies safely into the grid and the system. The digital transformation plays a
decisive role in this. For this reason, 50Hertz is developing a new grid control
system for the integration of 100 percent renewables. This “brain of renewable
integration” has a name: the Modular Control Centre System (MCCS).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The system of the future will be hard to handle and visibly change our way of
working and thinking as TSOs. Our answer to managing increased complexity is a
platform that allows flexibility, adaptability and scalability over time.
Modularisation is key for fast developments and differentiated solutions.
Automated processes and algorithms will support the operators of the future. Our
north star is to evolve towards an “automatic pilot” equipped with all required
capabilities so that operators can focus on supervising but are able to (re)take
control if needed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


EXAMPLES OF FUTURE CAPABILITIES THAT WE WILL NEED: 

 * FREQUENCY CONTROL
   
   Algorithms that forecast system imbalances, not only to define the volumes
   and prices required to solve them, but also to execute those corrections
   without causing congestion. 
   
    

 * VOLTAGE CONTROL
   
   Based on accurate forecasting of reactive consumption, optimising all actions
   required (for power plants, transformers, shunt reactors and capacitors,
   HVDC, etc.) to maintain stable voltages (N and N-1) and execute them. 
   
    

 * CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
   
   Optimisation of the grid (topology and redispatching) for N and N-1
   situations, from day-ahead until close to real-time redispatching.
   
    

 * AND MUCH MORE...
   
   Dynamic stability management, restoration, offshore network management,
   greater utilisation of the entire system, curative actions, and so on.

CONTROL ROOM EXPERIENCE LAB CHALLENGE



We are seeking partners that will design and construct Experience Lab together
with us and provide creative solutions. In the end, we want our control room
operators to be able to interact with machines in a way that is seamless, simple
to use, and effective.

FROM A TYPICAL SCADA BLACKBOX TO MCCS

A SCADA system provides different functionalities where ONLY the vendor can
adapt to new requirements or add new ones. These changes cost a lot of time and
money. With MCCS, we take a look inside the box. We identify and provide all
functionalities that the control centres require and structure them in an open
and reusable manner for other products, use cases and customers.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




THE PLATFORM APPROACH

To enable maximum reuse of these functionalities, we are establishing a platform
architecture. The top layer of the platform approach contains the business
products – MCCS being one of them. The middle layer contains the functional
platform GrASP (Grid, Asset and System Platform), which provides
business-specific capabilities and functionalities and caters to different
business products. The foundational layer contains the Elia Group Digital
Platform (EDP), which provides infrastructure, data, service and interaction
technologies that are needed to run functional platforms and business products.
The benefit of the platform approach is evident: reusing functionalities and
capabilities across different value chain segments and their business products
reduces the time, money and resources we need to invest.
