Abstract
This paper discusses the need case and benefits of implementing an autonomous network control system on an existing distribution network. It focusses on the significant changes in connectivity and power flow within the network caused by the large-scale proliferation of distributed generation and low carbon technologies and provides examples of the control system’s implementation and wider network and customer benefits. Learning from previous innovative technology and systems’ implementations is also discussed, which support the adoption of an autonomous network control system.Publisher
