BORNHOLM ISLAND GOES SMARTGRID: Danfoss Takes the Lead 

19 September 2011
The smart grid will revolutionise how we produce and manage electricity by more equally distributing demand and integrating homes into its network.
Danfoss Takes the Lead
The Danfoss team will lead a consortium of PV system developers and energy experts in developing Smart Grid initiatives, supplying up to nine percent of the island’s energy demand. The primary objective of the Bornholm project is to conduct extensive research and testing of the Smart Grid functionality from a PV perspective.  

Revolutionary Energy Production & Management
“The smart grid will revolutionise how we produce and manage electricity by more equally distributing demand and integrating homes into its network. Danfoss’ TLX PRO+ inverters address the reactive power and fault ride through hurdles,” said Dr. Søren Bækhøj Kjær, R&D Consultant at Danfoss.  

Bringing the Future to Existing Systems
The entire island of Bornholm, Denmark, is dedicated to providing a framework, implementation and testing ground for integrating large amounts of PV into existing networks which are already reaching high amounts of PV. “Our goal is to gain a clear understanding of these effects without reinforcing the network,” Dr. Kjær continued. The targeted goals can potentially be achieved by examining various types of grid voltage control, applying Smart Grid functionalities and introducing other ancillary services integrated into the PV system including frequency stability and sub-synchronous oscillations.

  • Centre for Electric Technology at the Technical University of Denmark
  • EnergiMidt A/S
  • Østkraft Net A/S 

The knowledge gained in The Bornholm Project will ultimately serve as a road map for high penetration of PV into existing networks.
