In this video Robin highlights research into managing the effects of
time-varying flows of renewable energy in the rural electricity network.
Background:
Wind, wave, and tidal energy are time varying, geographically
dispersed and remote from the load centres. Without upgrading the
capacity of rural distribution networks delivery of the renewable energy
may need to be constrained. This research models the interaction of
renewable energy generation and the distribution network to explore
control and management that will maximise energy production and onward
delivery.
