Lähivooluvõrgu

Lähivooluvõrgu, also known as a local current network, refers to a system for distributing and managing electrical power within a localized area. This can encompass a single building, a campus, or a small community. Unlike traditional large-scale power grids, lähivooluvõrgu focuses on optimizing energy flow and potentially integrating distributed energy resources at a more granular level.

The primary goal of a lähivooluvõrgu is to enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of electricity supply. This often involves the use of smart grid technologies, allowing for better monitoring, control, and communication within the network. Such systems can facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines installed within the vicinity, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.

Furthermore, lähivooluvõrgu can improve resilience against power outages. By operating more independently or having sophisticated backup systems, these networks can often maintain power supply to their covered area even when the larger national grid experiences disruptions. They also offer opportunities for demand-side management, enabling users to adjust their energy consumption in response to grid conditions or price signals, leading to cost savings and a more balanced load. The development and implementation of lähivooluvõrgu are seen as a key component in the transition towards a more decentralized and intelligent energy future.
