This would enable installations such as wind turbines and local CHP plants to become active resources that can help ensure more efficient and secure power system operation. The new technology will make the power system more flexible, while allowing the resources in the system to be exploited in the most expedient manner.

In practice, this is done in the Cell Project by developing and installing a state-of-the-art monitoring and control system to measure the condition of the power system. In specific situations, the system can take control of individual units such as wind turbines and local CHP plants. We call the state-of-the-art monitoring and control system a cell controller. In short, this technology allows us to communicate with all units in the power system and utilise the units to their maximum system capacity, thus increasing security of supply for consumers.
