The Active Network Management (ANM) scheme on the Orkney Islands in the UK was the first of its kind and remains at the cutting edge of smart grid implementation. The first generation deployment has facilitated the connection of almost 19 MW of new wind capacity to a network that was considered ‘full’. The paper describes a range of second generation technologies and initiatives that are now being...
The Northern Isles New Energy Solutions (NINES) concept is an extension to existing forms of Active Network Management (ANM) and a multi-faceted demonstration of the future “smart grid”. The NINES project is challenged with accommodating increased levels of renewable generation in an area where there are abundant renewable resources. However, the existing distribution network is electrically islanded...
Active Network Management (ANM) presents an effective approach to facilitating the connection of renewable generation onto increasingly congested networks. Estimating the severity of constraint experienced by managed generators is a key requirement in order to successfully evaluate the impact of implementing ANM solutions. This paper describes an established method of constraint analysis, its requirements,...
