Feed-in new energy into exisiting grids with future-proof cable splices
As the global energy transition accelerates, the need to connect decentralized, renewable sources—like solar, wind, and battery storage—into existing medium-voltage grids is greater than ever. However, integrating these sources efficiently and safely poses significant technical and infrastructural challenges.
The challenge: connecting new energy to existing grids
Whether it’s a rooftop solar installation, a wind turbine, or a battery energy storage system, new energy sources require reliable grid access. But many existing underground MV networks were never designed for bidirectional power flows or frequent switching. Key challenges include:
- Lack of suitable connection points in legacy cable infrastructure
- Increased mechanical and thermal stress from variable generation
- Grid instability due to fluctuating input
- Downtime and high costs from traditional connection methods
To move forward, utilities need smarter, plug-and-play feed-in splices that work seamlessly with both PILC and polymeric cable systems.
The solution: Lovink’s Feed-in splice
The LoviSil® feed-in cable splice is designed to integrate small cross-section source cables into high-capacity cable routes. Thanks to its specialized connector and universal LoviSil® housing, this cable splice offers:
- Smart grid integration, ideal for connecting distributed generation to medium voltage grids
- Compact, tailored connection, enabling source-to-grid cable splices without complex adaptations
- Fast, future-ready installation, using the same intuitive process as standard LoviSil® splices
