Introduction: To investigate and quantify the benefits of integration of electricity storage and Demand Side Management (DSM) technologies in the operation and development of active distribution networks.

Objectives: The main areas addressed are:

Feasibility assessment of alternative applications of DSM and storage to solve network problems
Development of techniques for optimisation of the operation of active distribution network including real time control of storage and load control devices to manage network voltage and flow profiles in real time
Quantification and optimisation of the multiple value streams of various storage applications and load control management.
