Grid tool for underground cables

Research assignment of Amprion GmbH
Duration:
01.01.2016 – 31.12.2017

With the amendment of the Federal Requirements Plan Act in December 2015, the power grid routes are now being planned with cable priority. On behalf of the transmission system operator Amprion GmbH, the project consortium is developing a GIS-based planning and evaluation tool to identify optimal high-voltage underground cable routes and partially cabled routes.

The algorithmic approach and the methodological framework of the previous project "Evaluation and Planning of power grids" will be further developed into a hybrid model and integrated into a practicable GIS for use in route planning to identify feasible routes.
