This project intends to deliver a highly transferrable system-level solution, using real-time knowledge of the fault level status of the electricity network and application of fault level mitigation technologies, to manage multiple generation and demand connections. The learning will be transferrable to all GB networks.
The FLEXGRID Solution can potentially deliver £1Bn savings across GB through the avoidance of network reinforcement and safeguarding of electricity network assets. This could facilitate 6 GW of generation connections and offset 5.05 MtCO2 / year.
The FLEXGRID Solution could provide DNOs with the capability to defer or avoid costly and prolonged network reinforcement, whilst improving security of supply.
