Abstract
LV Connect and Manage is a low voltage network intervention that has been pioneered by Western Power Distribution (WPD) and Nortech Management Limited to facilitate the connection of domestic low carbon technologies (LCTs) such as electric vehicles, photovoltaics and heat pumps. The active network management solution allows WPD to control the bidirectional power flow from and to clusters of LCTs. This means that the electricity network is not a barrier to customers adopting LCTs and WPD can manage the LCT connections in an active way, whilst network reinforcement takes place. LV Connect and Manage forms part of WPD’s strategy for transitioning from a Distribution Network Operator to a Distribution System Operator.
