The project is undertaken in conjunction with Manchester University, Scottish Power, Scottish and Southern with involvement from Northern Ireland Electricity and Eirgrid.
The aim of the project is to test the CPR-D relay in both a laboratory and a field environment in order to understand the capabilities and sensitivities of the device and evaluate if it would be a beneficial tool for a system planning/operation during times of system stress. Units will be deployed across networks in order to collect data for research purposes and validating network models.
