Main Functionality :
Thermal Constraint Manager
This module monitors for thermal and voltage violations in realtime. On detection of one or more network violations, DERs contributing to the violations are curtailed in order to resolve the problem. DERs can be constrained based upon user-defined Principles of Access (POAs). The ANM module can respond to both demand-led and generation-led constraints, and as such will respond appropriately to all types of DERs, including energy storage.
Main Functionality :
Voltage Constraint Manager
Real time monitoring and management of voltage levels provides curtailment of DERs when voltage levels exceed user defined limits. Voltage control can be performed alongside thermal constraint management and the same levels of optimisation and PoA can be applied to the DERs. Limits can be user defined or determined by a Constraint Manager module.
Network Security - Ratings Management
Main Functionality :
This module must manage the network such that for a credible step change in prevailing demand and generation or securing for next fault the resulting net change in load shall not exceed a defined limit across all voltage levels and across all license areas unless explicitly agreed with the Transmission Operator. This is designed to limit the impact on the stability of the National System.
