Nokia has announced that it has been selected by Fingrid, Finland\u2019s national transmission system operator, to build an IP\/MPLS network to support the Digital Transformation of its national electrical grid. Fingrid will use the network to operate 120 high-voltage substations and control 14,600 km of power transmission across the country. The new smart grid is needed to manage the growing adoption of variable distributed energy resources, such as wind, solar and micro-generation using bioenergy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As one of Europe\u2019s leading users of renewable energy, Finland\u2019s power transmission network is constantly being upgraded in order to meet the changing character of energy generation. Solar and wind generation, for example, require a much more agile and automated grid to manage the variable, two-way power flows by automatically ramping and balancing inputs and outputs. This calls for new distributed energy resource management systems, which need a highly reliable, secure communications system to monitor, control, coordinate and manage distributed energy assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nokia\u2019s mission-critical IP\/MPLS network solution has\nbeen deployed by transmission system operators worldwide \u2014 supporting these new\ngrid applications along with other critical ones, such as supervisory control\nand data acquisition systems (SCADA), teleprotection and current differential\nsystems, which demand stringent control of latency and jitter. This project is\nin partnership with NetNordic, a longstanding Nokia channel partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kari Suominen, Head of ICT for Fingrid, said: \u201cWe are committed to realising the potential of renewable energy generation and are embarking on an ambitious transformation of our national grid to make it smarter and more flexible. Nokia\u2019s IP\/MPLS solution plays an important role in the Digital Transformation of our distributed energy resource management by providing us with a reliable, secure and agile communications system that has the potential to support all of our power management needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamal Ballout, Global Vice President of Energy Practice for Nokia, said: \u201cFingrid joins our long list of transmission system operator customers who are modernising their networks and transforming their businesses by embracing more distributed and renewable energy sources. Through continued investment in our IP portfolio, we are able to meet the specific requirements of today\u2019s energy market, helping Fingrid evolve its infrastructure for a more sustainable future.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
