Funding Mechanism
Network Innovation Allowance
Research Area:
ED - Network improvements and system operability and ED - Customer and stakeholder focus
Core Technology(ies):
Community Schemes, Control Systems, LV & 11kV Networks, Measurement, Modelling, Network Automation, Stakeholder Engagement, Substations and Voltage Control
Estimated Expenditure:
£500,000.00
Introduction:
Alternative, low cost voltage reduction trial
Objectives:
To test progressive voltage reductions as a method of minimising long term energy demand while staying within statutory voltage limits.
· Expected benefits will be modelled using system design tools prior to tests on the live system.
· Test the benefits of voltage control with an optimised passive set point for minimising long term energy demand.
· Test the benefits of voltage control with a dynamic set point for minimising long term energy demand.
· Examine the potential for using a dynamic set point for creating a DSO flexibility product.
Expected Benefits:
Customer bill reduction, low network investment
