Costs linked to power failures and voltage disruptions
Power cuts and voltage disruptions cost Norwegian end users approximately NOK 1 - 1.5 billion annually.
Our research activities in this field are extensive and are concerned with, among other things:
- The development of a method to evaluate end-users' costs resulting from power failures and voltage disruptions
- Online metering, monitoring and supply quality analysis
- Error analysis
- The performance of cost assessments (both in Norway and globally)
- The development of methods for the planning and monitoring of power distribution grids which take such costs into account
- The development of the authorities' regulatory procedures governing distribution companies, taking into account the end-users' experiences of supply quality
