DESCRIPTION:Extensive new distribution network capacity is required to enab
 le low-carbon technologies to be connected to the grid to enable electrifi
 cation of heat and transport. Rapidly falling costs of grid-connected powe
 r electronics has led to renewed interest in the use of network operator-o
 wned power electronic devices (PEDs) as a solution to provide that increas
 ed network capacity. PEDs technologies such as Soft Open Points\, STATCOMs
  and Hybrid Transformers increase network capacity by enabling power flows
  to be scheduled dynamically to balance asset loading. This talk will disc
 uss the challenges that have slowed the uptake of PEDs\, particularly due 
 to the low utilization and high costs of PEDs. A novel hybrid\, reconfigur
 able PED approach is proposed that fully utilizes the PED to maximise devi
 ce cost-effectiveness\, either by incorporating device sizing into post-fa
 ult network reconfiguration schemes\, or by reconfiguring the topology of 
 the PED itself on-the-fly. Optimal control and designs approaches will be 
 discussed\, alongside ongoing efforts to demonstrate the multiplexing appr
 oach. Finally\, findings from recent innovation projects on PEDs with the 
 UK DNO SP Energy Networks will be presented.\n\nCo-sponsored by: DTU Wind

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style
 ="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\;">Extensive new distribution network capacity 
 is required to enable low-carbon technologies to be connected to the grid 
 to enable electrification of heat and transport. Rapidly falling costs of 
 grid-connected power electronics has led to renewed interest in the use of
  network operator-owned power electronic devices (PEDs) as a solution to p
 rovide that increased network capacity. PEDs technologies such as Soft Ope
 n Points\, STATCOMs and Hybrid Transformers increase network capacity by e
 nabling power flows to be scheduled dynamically to balance asset loading. 
 This talk will discuss the challenges that have slowed the uptake of PEDs\
 , particularly due to the low utilization and high costs of PEDs. A novel 
 hybrid\, reconfigurable PED approach is proposed that fully utilizes the P
 ED to maximise device cost-effectiveness\, either by incorporating device 
 sizing into post-fault network reconfiguration schemes\, or by reconfiguri
 ng the topology of the PED itself on-the-fly. Optimal control and designs 
 approaches will be discussed\, alongside ongoing efforts to demonstrate th
 e multiplexing approach. Finally\, findings from recent innovation project
 s on PEDs with the UK DNO SP Energy Networks will be presented.</span></p>
