Current and forcasted Solar and Wind Power in the TransnetBW Network

The TransnetBW is the fourth largest German Power Transmission operator (TSO) – in the southwest of Germany where my hometown (Karlsruhe) is.

The day started very sunny. In case you want to see how much solar and wind power is fed into the grid, you can visit the following websites:

Currently we have 3.6 GW PV power production in Germany … some 10 per cent of the installed capacity of 34 GW.

This all requires a lot of measurements and management … and communication like IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, IEC 61400-25, and DNP3.
