The version in Romanian of the book “Intelligent power grids” was launched in Chisinau on October 8 in the presence of the authors and representatives of the Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation. The Foundation will donate a consignment of 1,000 copies of the book to a number of libraries within a technical and teaching support project implemented in Moldova for the first time, IPN reports.
International project coordinator of the Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation Manuel Beguer i Mayor said the book written by three Spanish authors, who are researchers in the field of electricity, presents the Spanish electric system and its possibilities, including as regards transition to intelligent grids and the experience of other states in this area.
”Intelligent power grids mean the profound use of information and communication technology in the energy model so as to better control and guarantee the swifter supply of the service. It ensures the integration of the renewable sources of energy into the traditional energy network,” stated Manuel Beguer i Mayor.
Book co-author Rafael Cossent Arin said the idea of publishing a book about intelligent power grids appeared four years ago, when the Gas Natural Fenosa Foundation started to speak about such grids and many people in Spain wondered what they were. “We wanted to provide general information about the functioning of the power networks and how they can become intelligent by connecting them to the renewable sources of energy. We hope this book will be useful to specialists and to students in Moldova,” he said.
Gas Natural Fenosa Moldova president Silvia Radu said the work is an absolute novelty for Moldova. It is an important book that represents a step forward in the process of developing the energy sector not only in the EU, but also in Moldova. “We already took the first step towards liberalizing the energy market in Moldova. Thus, the energy sector is being transformed and I think that this book is welcome and will be definitely read by end-users and state institutions so as to see what will happen after this liberalization,” stated Silvia Radu, adding that this book can be used as a basis for debates on the future of Moldova’s energy sector.
