Project Details
With the aid of the energy automation platform Constellation, we have built one of the largest ANM schemes in Europe. With the introduction of the Control and Optimise solutions, dozens of generators are managed autonomously by the Constellation platform, allowing the introduction of low carbon technologies in the client’s network, and maintaining stability within the grid in N-1 fault scenarios.
Benefits to Society
Reduced Energy Costs
By optimally managing generation and solving constraints in the network, Constellation reduces the DNO’s reinforcement cost, and allows low carbon generation in their networks, leading to lower electricity costs for their customers.
Zero Carbon & Emissions Reduction
By efficiently integrating and managing numerous renewable energy plants, Silicon Grid aids the decarbonisation of these UK regions, minimising carbon footprint and emissions.
Increased Renewables
Silicon Grid’s technology supports the ongoing introduction of renewable solar and wind farms, delivering stable clean energy to customers.
Benefits to Client
Cost Reduction
The integration of Silicon Grid’s technology can manage the network’s complexity and enhances system efficiency. This reduces the client’s operational cost by avoiding or deferring network reinforcement work.
Accelerated Renewables Connections
The platform facilitates seamless integration of new renewable sources, ensuring faster and more reliable connections, and helping the client reach net zero goals.
Deferred Reinforcement Costs
By optimizing existing network topology with automated control, Constellation helps defer the need for extensive network reinforcements, leading to cost savings.
Improved Network Efficiency and Resilience
Silicon Grid’s technology enhances the overall efficiency and resilience of the network by optimising solar, wind and battery exports, ensuring a reliable supply of electricity to large number of customers.
