Future urban distribution networks are likely to become overloaded, resulting in serious faults, due to a predicted increase in clean energy technologies such as heat pump boilers and electric vehicles. This will significantly increase demand by up to double the present demand levels. As a result, unless changes are made to the low voltage (LV) urban distribution network it will be over-stressed in the future.
