Introduction: The current LFDD schemes do not take into account the move to decarbonize through growth of distributed generation and decreasing system inertia. This reduces the effectiveness of LFDD schemes.

The objectives of the project is to design and test a new LFDD scheme to maximise its future performance as the network continues to decarbonisation, Distribution Generation (DG) integration increases, and system inertia continues to decrease.
