Appearance

The Projects Home page is the central workspace for managing and exploring grid-related projects. It provides access to various categories of simulations and analyses, along with a geographic visualization of grid layouts.

Overview ​

The interface is divided into two main sections:

  • Left Panel: Displays categorized project examples under multiple tabs.
  • Right Panel: Shows an interactive map of the grid layout, centered on the region of interest (e.g., Ulster).

Grids ​

This tab lists all grid simulation projects, including base models and modified versions.

  • Searchable List: Filter projects by name or date.
  • Columns:
    • Name: Project identifier
    • Last Updated: Timestamp of the latest modification

Example Projects:

  • T5_Busareenewconnection_0_0
  • LV_workflowtest_1-2

Upgrades ​

Projects in this tab focus on infrastructure enhancements (e.g. transformer replacements, line upgrade).

  • Use Case: Evaluate technical and economic impact of proposed upgrades.
  • Table Columns:
    • Time: Timestamp of the upgrade proposal
    • Name: Description of the upgrade
    • Grid Operator Cost: Estimated cost for the grid operator
    • Customer Cost: Estimated cost for the customer
    • Total Cost: Combined cost of the upgrade
    • Status: Current status (e.g., Planned, Pending, Built)

Upgrades

Connection Requests ​

This tab contains simulations for new customer or generator connections to the grid. Each entry represents a proposed connection with technical and administrative details.

  • Features:

    • Load flow analysis
    • Voltage impact assessment
    • Feasibility checks

  • Table Columns:

    • Time: Timestamp of the request
    • Name: Description of the connection (e.g., New pump, VDE-AR-N Solar 🌞)
    • Type: Type of load or generation (e.g., PV, Other load, Combined heat and power)
    • Power: Requested capacity in kW
    • Assignee: Assigned person to review connection request
    • Status: Current status (e.g., Pending, Approved, Cancelled, Built)

Connection Requests

Mon ​

Monitoring projects are listed here, focusing on real-time or historical grid performance. This tab provides insights into data consistency and grid changes over time.

  • Features:

    • Smart meter data integration
    • Load profile tracking
    • Mismatch analysis between measured and simulated data

  • Table Columns:

    • Name: Identifier of the monitored station or grid
    • Updated: Timestamp of the latest monitoring update
    • Grid Changed: Timestamp of the last grid modification
    • Mismatch [%]: Percentage deviation between measured and simulated values

Mon

PQ ​

Power Quality (PQ) projects analyze voltage stability, harmonics, and other quality metrics. This tab helps identify and quantify mismatches in voltage behavior over time.

  • Features:

    • Voltage level classification
    • Hourly mismatch tracking
    • Visual indicators for severity (e.g., yellow and red zones)

  • Table Columns:

    • Name: Identifier of the PQ analysis (e.g., .PQ Example)
    • Voltage Level: Classification of the grid segment (e.g., Low Voltage)
    • Mismatch [h]: Number of hours with detected mismatches, color-coded by severity

PQ

Statistics ​

The Statistics tab provides visual summaries and analytical insights into grid-connected devices over time. It helps users understand trends in device deployment and composition.

  • Features:
    • Fully customizable allowing to add your own analyses
    • Device type breakdowns
    • Year-over-year comparisons
    • Interactive charts for analysis

Statistics

This structured interface allows users to efficiently navigate, analyze, and manage grid-related projects across multiple domains.
