Controllable and intelligent power components
ABB R&D activities at Innoenergy
 Adding smartness (intelligence and controllability) to
power components used in grid connection, transmission
and distribution of electrical energy, in the form of added
functions to a component or new designs of components.
 Extend the operating limits of components, increasing the
robustness, safety and security of the components,
environmental-friendly designs, and components with
reduced losses and good energy quality.

Controllable and Intelligent Power Components
Example: Dynamic Rating

Goal:
 Utilize the power system more efficiently
Challenges:
 Methods to determine controlled overloads of
components with predictive lifetime effect
 Develop guidelines on overload for power components
 Identification of measurable factors and precision in
measurements affecting the dynamic rating
 Model long and short term reliability
 Reliability and economic value of dynamic rating
 Identify costs and alternatives (investments) to dynamic
rating
