Introduction:
The scoping and development of three major areas:
Measurement of Distributed Generation (DG) and demand side management to facilitate the connection of DG to the network
Develop a controller that will monitor electricity networks, isolate faults quickly and allow distributed generation to remain connected and operating
Optimise the network with respect to losses, where distributed generation is concerned.
Objectives:
The project has developed a distributed control system to deliver:
Real time automated reconfiguration, initially to a regional network of up to four primary substations
Methods to economically, efficiently and effectively integrate large amounts of small scale DG taking into account legacy infrastructure and renewal programmes
Network optimisation taking into account DG and electrical energy Storage.
