UK Power Networks has launched a major flexible distributed generation rollout program across all licence areas and voltage levels with a centralized and advanced Active Network Management solution. The focus to the rollout has been on four key areas: 1) Change in connection process which led to a faster turnaround time and lower cost for customers, 2) Deployment of an advanced software platform which enhances system performance and reduces curtailment levels, 3) Enhancement of network data and real time data, 4) Readiness for business adoption and for transitioning to Distribution System Operator.

This presentation demonstrates the low carbon platform UK Power Networks is designing to facilitate the Distributed Energy Resources integration and the flexible connection/services offering.
