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

Objectives: The main areas addressed by this project are a feasibility assessment of alternative applications of DSM and storage to solve future network capacity problems. Development of techniques for real time voltage and load optimisation of active distribution networks using storage and DSM control devices and quantification and optimisation of the value streams of various storage and load control options.
