The New Thames Valley Vision (NTVV) is a GBP30m project in Bracknell which aims to prepare the local low voltage network for the changes that lie ahead as more people adopt new technologies for generating electricity.
NTVV will apply smart analytics to the information it gathers to help develop models which will allow distribution assets to be used even more effectively.
The project will involve a new network and planning environment, automated demand side management for businesses, low voltage static voltage control, street level energy storage and a range of communications solutions.
The Northern Isles New Energy Solutions is a GBP34m project, which will address some of the most pressing energy challenges Shetland currently faces by allowing small scale renewable generation to play a more significant role in meeting the islands’ energy needs.
SSEPD managing director Mark Mathieson said the two projects have the potential to revolutionize the way in which distribution network operators utilize their existing networks.
The projects will revolutionize the electricity distribution system, and help to prepare the energy industry for the move towards a low carbon economy.
