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-led constraints, and as such will respond appropriately to all types of DERs, including energy storage.
