Het monitoren van lage spanning (LV) is vele jaren grotendeels over het hoofd gezien, maar de behoefte aan transparantie met betrekking tot het LV-netwerk is nog nooit zo groot geweest nu we overgaan op het gebruik van koolstofarme technologieën. Ontdek hoe u veiligere, sterkere netwerken kunt creëren met VisNet® Hub…
Het energiesysteem ondergaat een transformatie. De overstap naar Net Zero tegen 2050 zorgt voor een ingrijpende verandering in de manier waarop we elektriciteit genereren, waardoor we het voor nieuwe doeleinden kunnen gebruiken, zoals het aandrijven van auto’s of het verwarmen van huizen. Deze overgang zal druk uitoefenen op de infrastructuur met lage spanning die stroom levert aan huizen en bedrijven.
Elk kabel heeft een beperkte capaciteit – het bedienen van de kabel boven deze capaciteit zal schade veroorzaken, uiteindelijk resulterend in het uitvallen van de verlichting. De LV-netwerken zijn zeer passief in hun werking, en de huidige monitoring is beperkt. Waar het bestaat, wordt het alleen ingezet voor een specifiek doel.
Het probleem bij het opsporen van LV-fouten
Historisch gezien is het monitoren van LV vaak het ‘arme neefje’ geweest. In tegenstelling daarmee is het monitoren van hoogspanning goed onderzocht en gevestigd vanwege het grotere potentieel voor dramatische uitval die grote aantallen klanten treft, en het gemak van het lokaliseren van problemen via computersystemen (lees meer over stroomstoringen in ons e-boek hier).
LV-kabels zijn voornamelijk ondergronds, in tegenstelling tot zeer zichtbare bovengrondse HV-kabels, waardoor het moeilijker is om fouten te vinden die worden veroorzaakt door veroudering en waterinfiltratie. Zonder succesvolle monitoring blijft het vaak aan de klant over om problemen te melden – het probleem hierbij is dat het vinden van LV-fouten (vooral intermitterende) een beetje lijkt op het zoeken naar een speld in een hooiberg. Reactieve stappen om problemen op te lossen slagen er vaak niet in de diepere oorzaak van het probleem onder de grond te detecteren, en het is niet ongebruikelijk dat er meerdere graafwerkzaamheden nodig zijn om kabelfouten te vinden. Hiermee komen de extra kosten van het herstellen van wegen en voetpaden die zijn verstoord.
Wat doet VisNet Hub?
VisNet® Hub is anders. Het maakt monitoring in realtime mogelijk voor verschillende doeleinden, efficiënt en kosteneffectief. Ontworpen om intelligentie naar de rand van het netwerk te brengen, integreert het het gemeenschappelijke toepassingsplatform met lage spanning van EA Technology, waarmee gebruikers nieuwe toepassingen en algoritmen kunnen implementeren. De functionaliteit van VisNet® Hub gaat dus verder dan eenvoudige metingen.
VisNet® Hub controleert de spanning- en stroomgegevens op elke LV-feeder. Het gebruikt deze gegevens om inzichten te bieden over de belasting, fouten en conditie van individuele apparaten in het hele netwerk.
Deze gegevens zijn cruciaal voor netwerkbeheerders omdat het hen in staat stelt zowel de flexibiliteit als de efficiëntie van het netwerk te verbeteren, samen met de beveiliging en kwaliteit van de levering, naarmate technologieën met een laag koolstofgehalte zich verder verspreiden. Het wordt eenvoudiger om fouten te detecteren, voorspellen en lokaliseren, met verminderde onzekerheid waardoor onderhoud sneller en eenvoudiger wordt en helpt verloren klantenminuten te vermijden.
Het platform VisNet® Hub maakt de monitoring en rapportage van netwerken toekomstbestendig, levert inzichten die lokaal kunnen worden verzameld en centraal kunnen worden geconsolideerd, stelt operators in staat de gegevens te gebruiken om geïnformeerde beslissingen te nemen, vermindert kosten voor monitoring en onderhoud en biedt lokale intelligentie voor toekomstige planning.

In a recent article featured in Electrical Contracting News, VisNet from EA Technology, highlights the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for network owners and operators. With the government’s pledge to construct 1.5 million homes over the next five years—an annual target of 370,000 new properties—VisNet’s Managing Director, Dave A Roberts, stresses the urgent need for smarter technologies to support this expansion. He explains that while these housing targets are crucial to addressing the UK’s housing shortage, they will inevitably place additional pressure on the electrical grid, requiring innovative solutions to manage the increased load. He emphasizes that proactive network monitoring and accurate modelling of new connections will be key to ensuring a resilient and future-proofed electrical network. With challenges come opportunities, and VisNet remains committed to supporting customers as they navigate this evolving landscape. Read the full feature in Electrical Contracting News to learn more about how VisNet is shaping the future of the UK’s electrical

UK’s ambitious drive towards decarbonisation, coupled with the government’s commitment to housebuilding, is set to significantly increase demand on the country’s electrical infrastructure. In a recent article featured in Electrical Contracting News, VisNet from EA Technology, highlights the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for network owners and operators. With the government’s pledge to construct 1.5 million homes over the next five years—an annual target of 370,000 new properties—VisNet’s Managing Director, Dave A Roberts, stresses the urgent need for smarter technologies to support this expansion. He explains that while these housing targets are crucial to addressing the UK’s housing shortage, they will inevitably place additional pressure on the electrical grid, requiring innovative solutions to manage the increased load. He emphasizes that proactive network monitoring and accurate modelling of new connections will be key to ensuring a resilient and future-proofed electrical network. With challenges come opportunities, and VisNet remains committed to supporting customers as they navigate this evolving landscape. Read the full feature in Electrical Contracting News to learn more about how VisNet is shaping the future of the UK’s electrical infrastructure.\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t","editSettings":{"defaultEditRoute":"content","panel":{"activeTab":"content","activeSection":"section_editor"}}}]}](https://visnet.tech/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Meeting-the-UKs-Growing-Electrical-Demands-Housing-1024x683.jpeg)
