RedACTIVA project

About

The RedACTIVA Project is based on the development of innovative solutions, tools and equipment that will help streamline automation of the MV/LV electricity distribution network aimed at improving network operation through efficiency and effectiveness improvements to offer a solution to identified operation problems, adding functionalities to equipment already in the field and improving service quality for end users.

Avoid islanding

To develop solutions that will allow the prevention of unintended islanding of distributed generation systems installed on the network, which are becoming increasingly more common.

Ferroresonance solutions

To develop solutions that avoid or offset the appearance of ferroresonance on the distribution network.

Develop new sensors

To develop new voltage/intensity sensors that enable reliable real-time information to be gathered on the network status, rather than status estimates.

Test solutions

To test the solutions and devices developed by the project in laboratory and real-life pilot schemes in pursuit of correct functionality for the new systems and faster access to the market.

Fault location

To develop specific algorithms for locating faults on the various power lines components.

Predictive maintenance

To implement early fault detection systems on the electricity distribution system that will allow for predictive maintenance of the grid and improved asset management, aimed at increasing the useful life of equipment and streamlining maintenance/replacement costs.
