Distribution power flow management utilising an online constraint programming method
Original research on distributed control in the context of power system Active Network Management. The paper proposes and demonstrates, using ScottishPower [Geoff.Murphy@SPPowerSystems.com] and EDF Energy Networks [peter.lang@ukpowernetworks.co.uk] case studies, a control algorithm based on a solution of the Constraint-Satisfaction Problem formulated for renewable generation curtailment. The results are gained robustly through applied theory and laboratory software/hardware experimentation, and have initiated related control architecture/algorithm research though an EPSRC project [EP/I031650/1, £3.4M, 2011-2016] and a 1-year research programme in the £12M Power Networks Demonstration Centre set up in 2012 at Strathclyde University.
