This year, the theme for Fingrid’s information security unit is training. The aim of the themed year is to create similar traditions for cyber training as for any other training by the transmission system operator. In the energy industry, interest in cyber training has developed in the wake of a threatening situation.
Fingrid wants to employ the best experts. This is why the company is also working hard to keep its summer employees happy. We asked a few of the summer employees about their expectations and experiences.
The launch of a cross-border, intraday market model is an important step forward, but the European electricity market needs more changes, believes Tomasz Sikorski, Vice President and COO of PSE, which is the Polish Transmission System Operator.
In accordance with its mission, Fingrid has been developing the main grid throughout its 20-year history. The grid development work consists of planning the main power transmission grid and the regional grid, which Fingrid does in cooperation with its customers. This collaboration has recently become even closer.
More accurate device and load-specific consumption profiles and different types of open data will make it possible to optimise dimensioning of the existing energy system in the most economically feasible manner. The starting points for utilising open data in the energy market are very attractive, as nearly all customers have electricity meters that can be read in real time.
The Directorate-General for Energy develops and implements the European energy policy under the guidance of the European Commission. Director of The Internal Energy Market, Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, explains the latest developments in energy market integration.
Fingrid will be the first European transmission grid operator to make its real-time data storages available to partners. The open data collected by Fingrid can be utilised to provide companies, consumers and electricity market actors with new services and financial benefits as it becomes possible to monitor things like energy consumption with more accuracy.
Fingrid has started the development of mobile and browser applications for main grid information contained in the ELVIS system.
The US state of Texas has plenty of wind power, and the price of electricity on the free market fluctuates considerably according to weather conditions. This has also created demand for flexible capacity, which protects against price spikes.
The house of Kaija Niskala, Service Manager for energy accounting and guarantees of origin, sports solar panels on its roof, producing electricity not only for her family but also for others.
