"Lighten net congestion with the open source Transformer Thermal model" ( 2026 )

Saturday at 14:00, 25 minutes, AW1.126, AW1.126, Energy Imke de Man Harm van Leijen , video

See how the open-source Transformer Thermal Model helps safely push the limits of the grid. This to lighten the net congestion problem we have in the Netherlands.
We demonstrate how simulating hotspot and oil temperatures reveals new acceptable load limits. By sharing this model openly, we are able to work with other TSOs and DSOs to benefit and strengthen sector-wide collaboration! Within this talk we want to show you our journey in going open source and how this strengtens our effort in lighten the net congestion problem with pushing the limits of the grid!
