Synopsis of UK Power Networks Talk
The Flexible Plug and Play Low Carbon Networks project will trial a number of innovative technical and commercial solutions, which will optimise network utilisation and manage network constraints in real time, enabling the most flexible and cost effective means of connecting renewable generation to be identified and provided. The project will also develop an investment modelling tool that will determine when it makes best economic and carbon sense to reinforce the networks or use smart alternatives.
