Decentralising active network management through distributed constraint optimisation
Electricity networks are becoming more complex due to the introduction of distributed energy sources. The power grid will face fundamental changes in its structure and behaviour. In addition, new technologies will be required in order to maintain the stability of the network. A key enabling …

Design, development and demonstration of an active network management testbed
… investing in the planning and operation of power networks. Geographically, in the UK, the most suitable areas of Distributed Generation typically exist in locations not previously designed for larger or reverse power flows. This leads to the need to costly and timely upgrades the physical …

The application and assessment of active network management techniques for distribution network power flows
… connection at the lower voltage distribution networks. Connecting large quantities of intermittent generation, to distribution networks, presents significant problems to the planning and operation of these traditionally passive networks due to bi-directional power flows creating voltage …

Methodologies for the Evaluation and Mitigation of Distribution Network Risk
… is a major concern for electricity distribution network operators. This research concentrates in particular on the UK distribution system, and on sub-transmission and extra high voltage networks within that system. It seeks first to understand the principal causes of network risk and consequent …

Experimental Investigation and Evaluation of Future Active Distribution Networks
… of low voltage and medium voltage distribution networks. At present, there are a number of competing active network management concepts being considered to overcome these challenges and at Durham University a concept defined as the Small Scale Energy Zone (SSEZ) has been proposed and is …
