Distribution 2020

The project aimed at developing novel overall solutions to minimise consequences and costs related to major challenges for the future distribution networks:

  1. Fault handling to ensure reliability and sufficient quality - Intelligent methods for efficient and rapid fault isolation and restoration with minimum voltage disturbance for the customers
  2. Integration of distributed power generation - Criteria and new methods for including embedded production in the distribution network - Controlled island operation when the connection to the transmission grid is lost
