Thermal Constraint Manager
Main Functionality :
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-lead constraints, and as such will respond appropriately to all types of DERs, including energy storage.
Voltage Constraint Manager
Main Functionality :
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.
