Digitizing Grid Connections at Scale with envelio

E.DIS Netz GmbH, one of Germany’s largest distribution system operators, partnered with envelio’s Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP) to streamline and automate their growing volume of interconnection requests, especially for solar, wind, and other distributed energy resources (DERs).

Key Results:

  1. Cut application processing time from days to minutes

  2. Automated manual processes like grid model creation and technical evaluations

  3. Launched a self-service customer portal for fast, online grid connection checks

  4. Integrated systems like SAP, GIS, and PowerFactory for seamless data flows

  5. Reduced internal workload for grid planners by 20%

Integrity of Data
Grid Data Quality – The Ultimate Checklist

As distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar, storage, and EVs rapidly increase, utilities face growing pressure to modernize outdated interconnection processes. This white paper explores how to streamline and automate DER workflows to improve grid efficiency, customer experience, and planning accuracy
High-quality data is essential for automating processes that speed up the energy transition, but many utilities still struggle with poor data integrity. This infopaper outlines a step-by-step approach to improve data quality and support better planning, analytics, and investment decisions.

Case study: Syna

Automation and acceleration of interconnection impact studies

With the introduction of the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP), Syna has drastically reduced the time required for grid interconnection evaluation for larger installations: The grid compatibility testing, which previously took up to 8 hours, can now be completed in about 15 minutes. At the same time, the significant improvement in the quality of the grid calculations helps ensure supply reliability, as the impact of new interconnections on the grid can be assessed more reliably.

Case study: Elektrilevi

Accelerated processing of interconnection requests

To cope with an extremely high number of interconnection requests, Elektrilevi introduced a self-service portal for its customers to perform a pre-application research on the nearest favourable POI and get an estimation for the project’s duration and costs. At the same time, this Estonian grid operator fully automated processing of interconnection requests for microproducers of up to 15 kW.

Case study: FairNetz Part 1

Development and validation of exhaustive digital grid models

With the help of the Intelligent Grid Platform, FairNetz was able to automatically detect inconsistencies and information gaps in its data source systems. This enabled the German grid operator to significantly improve the quality of grid data and create a dynamic grid model for their entire MV- and LV network. Moreover, FairNetz achieved a higher transparency of network load and was able to identify critical assets and problem grid areas.

Leveraging improved data quality to speed up interconnection processes

This case study builds upon the first part and invites us to follow up on the progress of the implementation of the Intelligent Grid Platform at FairNetz. The electricity network operator from Reutlingen now leverages the improved data quality to speed up the processing of grid interconnection requests. For instance, 50% of all requests for new interconnections are assessed positively in under 5 minutes. Additionally, FairNetz relies on the IGP as its “Single Source of Truth” for analyzing the grid participant structure, aiming to further improve the data basis for the calculation logic and create a foundation for sound grid expansion investments.
