Funding Mechanism
Network Innovation Allowance
Research Area:
ED - Network improvements and system operability
Core Technology(ies):
Active Network Management, Asset Management, Control Systems and LV & 11kV Networks
Estimated Expenditure:
£400,000.00
Introduction:
The present design and modelling tools for LV systems are more simplistic than those used for HV & EHV
planning. This was acceptable when the LV network was load centric but is no longer the case. This project aims to address that deficiency.
Objectives:
The objectives of this project are to:
· Deliver recommendations on improved network EHV/HV/LV network build and holistic network
analysis under a range of conditions.
· Recommendations to improve network planning and design solutions.
· Recommendations on how to deal with challenges for smart meter data utilisation.
· Validation of equipment specifications.
· Creation of set of requirements for future functional specifications of new power system software.
