4 smart grid projects stand out as UK investment winners

China Meter Network Instrument Research and Development On November 30 this year, the UK Natural Gas and Electricity Market Office (OFGEM) announced that it will allocate 33 million pounds (equivalent to US$42 million) to fund the 2016 Network Innovation Competition. Winners. In the end, a total of four smart grid demonstration projects won the competition. Different from previous years, all four projects won this year are renewable energy integration projects. However, by comparison, the total amount of the OFGEM office this year is lower than last year's level.
The four award-winning projects are focused on power network integration and are designed to assist the UK grid in integrating distributed generation resources such as wind power and photovoltaics. Specifically, of these four winning projects, two are led by the transmission system operator, TSO; the other two are from the distribution system operator, the DSO.

There are only 6 entries this year, worth £46.9 million (equivalent to $59 million). Two DSOs and one TSO simply did not participate at all. It seems that the grid operators do not seem to follow the requirements of the OFGEM office to vigorously develop smart grid demonstration projects. Perhaps this is because they are busy promoting some technologies that have already been tested and tested, and they are not ready to launch other projects.

Scottish Power Transmission will attempt to use synchronous compensators to provide inertia for transmission systems and support the deployment of distributed generation resources. SPT stated that the company believes that it can deploy up to 20 simultaneous compensators throughout the UK.

Western Power Distribution will develop software to provide real-time visibility into low-voltage networks. WPD estimates that by 2050, the active network management system for low-voltage networks will provide 5.8 GW of network capacity.
